Zebra enterprise tablet
Zebra ET401 Enterprise Tablet
The ET401 is the next generation of Zebra ET40 / ET45 enterprise tablets, available in 8-inch and 10-inch configurations for Android workflows, barcode scanning, 5G / Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and longer enterprise lifecycle planning.
Positioning
Built for teams that need tablets in frontline workflows
The ET401 keeps the familiar tablet experience while adding enterprise ruggedness, scanning, RFID, 5G, Wi-Fi 7, accessories and device lifecycle support. For Hong Kong retail, warehouse, logistics, manufacturing and field service teams, it helps reduce the operational risk of using consumer tablets in demanding environments.
Fit Check
Is ET401 the right fit?
You need an 8-inch or 10-inch Android tablet with scanning, 5G, Wi-Fi 7, rugged protection, removable battery or ShareCradle charging options.
Screen size, Wi-Fi or 5G, scan engine, RFID, memory, battery strategy and mounting accessories should be confirmed before ordering.
If the workload is simple office browsing with no scanning, ruggedness or accessory requirement, a standard tablet may be enough.
Suitable / Not Suitable
Decide by deployment need, not tablet size alone
Suitable when
- Your team needs enterprise Android tablets for front-line data entry and process checks.
- Users work in retail, warehouse, logistics, field service or manufacturing environments.
- Scanning, RFID, 5G, Wi-Fi 7, removable battery or managed Android deployment matters.
- You need a long lifecycle and an accessory path beyond consumer-tablet cases.
Confirm first
- Choose 8-inch or 10-inch around screen space, mobility and mounting position.
- Confirm Wi-Fi, 5G and private-network requirements before selecting the configuration.
- Decide whether SE4100, SR500 or short-range RFID is required.
- Check ET40 / ET45 accessory reuse carefully before assuming every item can carry forward.
Key Features
More than a consumer-style tablet
8-inch and 10-inch
Choose the tablet size around mobility, screen space and form-heavy workflows.
Wi-Fi 7 and 5G
Standard configurations include Wi-Fi 7 and 5G options, with Wi-Fi 6E value configurations available.
Scanning and RFID
Configurations include no-scan, SE4100 and SR500 options. Short-range RFID is supported for selected workflows.
IP68 sealing
Zebra data lists IP68 sealing for complete protection against dust and submersion.
AI-ready processor
The Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor includes an AI engine for current and future AI applications.
Accessory ecosystem
ET401 is backwards compatible with nearly all ET40 / ET45 accessories and supports next-generation ShareCradle charging.
Applications
Use ET401 where frontline teams need a managed Android tablet
Retail
Use ET401 for stockroom checks, shelf tasks, order preparation and customer-facing store workflows.
Warehouse
Support picking, receiving, cycle counts and barcode or RFID data capture with a larger-screen Android device.
Logistics
Give dispatch, packing and handover teams a rugged tablet for status updates, documentation and proof workflows.
Field service
Equip mobile staff for job records, service forms, photo capture and on-site workflow confirmation.
Accessories and deployment
Plan the whole device set before ordering
ET401 selection is not only about the tablet body. Confirm charging, Rugged Boot, hand straps, mounting, ShareCradle, spare batteries, scan engine, RFID and MDM readiness before deployment. Easy Scan can help map the required device, accessory and workflow direction so the final configuration matches the actual Hong Kong operating environment.
Selection Guide
Shortlist the ET401 configuration by workflow
Screen size
Use 8-inch for more mobile work and 10-inch when forms, dashboards or viewing space matter more.
Network
Choose Wi-Fi 7 / Wi-Fi 6E value for site-based operation, or 5G where outdoor and mobile coverage are required.
Data capture
Confirm no-scan, SE4100, SR500 or short-range RFID before setting the device configuration.
Accessories
Check Rugged Boot, straps, cradles, charging and ET40 / ET45 accessory compatibility before rollout.
Comparison
ET401 versus ET40 / ET45 planning points
| Area | ET401 | ET40 / ET45 |
|---|---|---|
| Lifecycle | Production | End of Sale |
| Display | 8-inch and 10-inch | 8-inch and 10-inch |
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E value and 5G options | Wi-Fi 6, with 5G on ET45 |
| Protection | IP68 sealing according to Zebra ET401 data | IP65; higher ruggedness depends on accessories |
| Accessory planning | Backwards compatible with nearly all ET40 / ET45 accessories | Existing accessories should be checked before migration |
Buying Pitfalls
Avoid choosing by tablet size alone
Accessory mismatch
Do not assume every ET40 / ET45 accessory can be reused without checking exact model and deployment conditions.
Wrong scan path
SE4100, SR500 and RFID serve different workflows. Confirm barcode distance and RFID need before ordering.
Network gaps
Wi-Fi-only, 5G and private-network use cases should be mapped to actual site coverage and field movement.
Easy Scan Support
Configuration support for ET401 deployment
Easy Scan is a Zebra Premier Solution Partner and can support Hong Kong buyers with ET401 selection, accessory planning, barcode / RFID workflow discussion and deployment preparation. The goal is to match the device configuration to the real workflow rather than simply selecting the newest tablet model.
