WS501

Zebra's all-in-one Android wearable mobile computer, now with more memory, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3.

The WS501 brings hands-free, high-performance computing to the most scan-intensive jobs. Compared with its predecessor, the WS50, it offers a new processor, three times the RAM, four times the flash, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. It is a truly hostless device: workers wear a single device instead of a host computer and a ring scanner. Android 17 compatibility is guaranteed.
