Zebra TC22 Mobile Computer
Smartphone-style Android mobile computing with professional 1D/2D barcode scanning, Wi-Fi 6E and enterprise durability.
The Zebra TC22 is a compact enterprise mobile computer for businesses that need more than a consumer smartphone but don't need a large traditional warehouse handheld.
Its 6-inch Full HD+ touchscreen, dedicated Zebra barcode scanning, removable battery and rugged construction make it a strong choice for retail, inventory, warehousing, hospitality, order fulfilment and other mobile business applications.
The TC22 is the Wi-Fi model. If your workers need cellular connectivity away from your Wi-Fi network, compare it with the Zebra TC27.

1080 × 2160 touchscreen with 450-nit brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass.
1D & 2D Scanning
Choose SE4710 standard-range or SE55 Advanced Range barcode scanning according to the configuration.
Wi-Fi 6E
Modern enterprise wireless connectivity for warehouses, stores and other managed Wi-Fi environments.
IP65 & IP68
Rugged sealing provides greater protection against dust and water than a conventional consumer smartphone.
Qualcomm 5430
Hex-core 2.1 GHz processor designed to run modern enterprise Android applications.
Up to 8GB / 128GB
Available memory configurations include 6GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB.
Replaceable Battery
Choose standard 3,800mAh or extended 5,200mAh PowerPrecision battery configurations.
NFC

Why Use a TC22 Instead of a Consumer Smartphone?
The TC22 has the familiar touchscreen form factor employees already understand, but the hardware is designed around commercial data-capture workflows.
Dedicated Barcode Scanner
Professional scan-engine options provide faster and more practical repetitive barcode capture than relying on a phone camera.
Dedicated Scan Buttons
Physical scan buttons allow workers to capture barcodes without repeatedly operating an on-screen camera control.
Replaceable Batteries
Swap batteries instead of taking the entire device out of service when the battery is depleted.
Rugged Construction
IP65/IP68 sealing, Gorilla Glass and Zebra's drop and tumble testing are designed around everyday commercial use.
SE4710 or SE55 Barcode Scanner?
This is one of the most important differences between Zebra TC22 configurations.
SE4710 Standard Range
Choose for everyday barcode scanning.
The SE4710 is designed for conventional 1D and 2D barcode capture where the worker normally scans products, cartons or labels at relatively close range.
Good for: retail, stockrooms, goods receiving, inventory, hospitality and general business scanning.
SE55 Advanced Range
Choose when scanning distance varies.
The SE55 with IntelliFocus technology extends the TC22 into applications where employees may need to scan something in their hand and then capture a barcode positioned further away.
Good for: warehouses, shelving, inventory and scan-intensive environments where greater range is useful.
Check the complete Zebra MPN before ordering. Not every TC22 includes the same scan engine. The product title “TC22” alone does not tell you whether you are buying an SE4710 or SE55 configuration.
Zebra TC22 for Warehousing & Inventory
The TC22 is particularly useful where employees need mobile access to inventory information while also capturing barcodes throughout the working day.
Goods Receiving
Scan incoming products and cartons while accessing receiving and inventory applications.
Inventory
Capture stock and location barcodes while checking or updating inventory information.
Picking
Use barcode scanning and Android warehouse applications during order-picking workflows.
Dispatch
Capture shipment, carton and order information during packing and dispatch processes.
For intensive warehouse scanning, consider an SE55 configuration and compatible trigger handle. For harsher environments or more demanding long-range scanning, a more rugged Zebra mobile-computer family may be more appropriate.
Zebra TC22 for Retail
The smartphone-style design makes the TC22 particularly well suited to customer-facing environments where employees need access to business applications without carrying a large industrial handheld.
Price Checking
Scan product barcodes and access pricing or product information from the shop floor.
Stock Lookup
Check product availability without returning to a fixed workstation.
Assisted Selling
Give employees mobile access to product, customer and inventory information.
Order Fulfilment
Use barcode scanning for click-and-collect, order picking and other omnichannel workflows.
Large 6-Inch Full HD+ Touchscreen
The TC22 combines enterprise data capture with a touchscreen experience closer to a modern smartphone.
1080 × 2160
Full HD+ resolution provides a detailed workspace for Android business applications.
450 Nits
The bright display is designed for visibility across indoor and outdoor working environments.
Gorilla Glass
Corning Gorilla Glass protects the touchscreen, while Gorilla Glass also protects the scanner exit window.
Standard or Extended Battery?
3,800mAh Standard Battery
14.63Wh
The standard removable PowerPrecision battery is designed around normal full-shift operation.
A good starting point where weight and a slimmer device profile are priorities.
5,200mAh Extended Battery
20.02Wh
Provides additional battery capacity for longer shifts and more demanding mobile workflows.
Consider it for intensive scanning, warehouse operations and applications where charging opportunities are limited.
The battery is user replaceable, allowing organisations to keep spare charged batteries available rather than taking the mobile computer out of operation while it charges.
Built for Everyday Business Use
IP65 & IP68
Sealing protects the device against dust and water according to the applicable IEC specifications.
1.3m Drop
The standard device is tested for multiple 1.3 metre drops to tile over concrete across its operating temperature range.
Up to 1.5m with Boot
With the optional protective boot fitted, Zebra specifies multiple 1.5 metre drops to concrete.
Tumble Tested
The TC22 is tested for repeated tumbles, with additional protection available when using the optional rugged boot.
Zebra TC22 vs TC27
The TC22 and TC27 share the same basic platform. The major buying difference is cellular connectivity.
| Feature | Zebra TC22 | Zebra TC27 |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi | Yes | Yes |
| Wi-Fi 6E | Yes | Yes |
| Cellular / WWAN | No | Yes |
| 5G | No | Yes, configuration/region dependent |
| Barcode scanning | SE4710 / SE55 options | SE4710 / SE55 options |
| Display | 6-inch FHD+ | 6-inch FHD+ |
| Best suited to | Stores, warehouses and premises with Wi-Fi | Field and mobile workers who also need cellular connectivity |
Simple rule: if the device will remain within reliable business Wi-Fi coverage, start with the TC22. If employees need data connectivity while away from the premises, look at the TC27.
