Enterprise Benefits of the Zebra TC27
Next-Generation Connectivity
The inclusion of 5G and Wi-Fi 6E ensures field workers remain connected with maximum wireless speed. This reduces latency and improves application performance for workers inside facilities and out in the field.
Advanced Data Capture Options
Unlike consumer smartphones, this device features a dedicated enterprise-grade omnidirectional barcode scanner. Businesses can choose the standard range engine for everyday scanning or the advanced range engine to capture barcodes from up close to over 12 meters away.
Maximum Device Lifespan
With support through Android 16, organizations receive long-term security support. This longevity lowers the total cost of ownership compared to retail smartphones that require frequent replacement cycles.
Rugged Industrial Design
The device handles drops, spills, and dusty environments without performance degradation. Drop ratings can be upgraded to 1.5 meters using the optional protective boot accessory.
Target Industries and Use Cases
Field Service
Field technicians utilize the device for real-time dispatch, proof of service, turn-by-turn navigation, and remote expert collaboration via high-resolution video calls.
Transportation and Logistics
Delivery drivers benefit from cellular coverage to update delivery statuses, capture signatures, scan shipping labels, and optimize delivery routes on the go.
Retail and Hospitality
Store associates can perform price checks, inventory lookups, line busting, and processing of mobile point-of-sale transactions directly from the sales floor.
Zebra Mobility DNA Tools

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Zebra TC22 and TC27?
The main difference is cellular connectivity. The TC27 supports both 5G/LTE cellular data and Wi-Fi, making it ideal for outdoor field workers. The TC22 features Wi-Fi only and is designed for indoor use within the four walls of a facility.
Can the Zebra TC27 scan damaged or poorly printed barcodes?
Yes. The integrated enterprise scan engine utilizes smart imaging technology to instantly capture scratched, dirty, poorly printed, or crinkled 1D and 2D barcodes on the first try.
Is the battery on the Zebra TC27 removable?
Yes. Unlike consumer smartphones with sealed batteries, this device features a user-replaceable removable battery. This allows workers to swap dead batteries for fresh ones without taking the device out of service.
Does the device support mobile tap-to-pay transactions?
Yes. The built-in NFC controller supports Apple VAS, Google Smart Tap, and various merchant mobile payment applications, allowing workers to process tickets, loyalty cards, and contactless payments.
Can I drop the Zebra TC27 without damaging it?
The device is built to survive repeated 1.3-meter drops to concrete. You can increase this rugged drop specification to 1.5 meters by attaching the optional protective rubber boot accessory.
