The Zebra TC101 is a six-inch enterprise Android mobile computer with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, removable batteries and multiple scanning configurations for Hong Kong retail, logistics, field and light warehouse workflows. Scan engine, Wi-Fi 6E, SIM, battery and accessory availability must be checked by region and configuration.

Zebra TC101 frontline retail and logistics workflow

Zebra Mobile Computer

Zebra TC101 Enterprise Android Mobile Computer

A frontline handheld for Hong Kong retail, logistics, field and light warehouse teams that need 5G, Wi-Fi 6, removable batteries and multiple scanning configurations.

Product Overview

An enterprise Android platform for connected frontline work

The Zebra TC101 is an enterprise Android mobile computer, not a general consumer phone. Its 6-inch display, rugged construction, optional scan engines, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 support frontline receiving, stock checks, delivery, inspection and asset-record workflows on one platform. Wi-Fi 6E, scan engine, SIM and Zebra DNA Core+ availability varies by region or configuration.

Quick Fit

Does TC101 fit your workflow?

Good fit

Everyday frontline work that needs barcode capture, enterprise device management, 5G or Wi-Fi and a removable battery.

Check first

Scan engine, Wi-Fi 6E, SIM, standard or extended battery, charging and protective accessories.

Compare alternatives

Long-range warehouse scanning, physical-key workflows, tablet-size displays or extreme-environment ultra-rugged use.

Fit Check

Check the workflow boundary before selecting the device

Better-fit workflows

  • Retail receiving, price checks, replenishment and stock counts
  • Delivery, field inspection and photographic records
  • Light warehouse receiving, verification and asset identification

Compare another device class

  • High-rack or very long-range scanning
  • Heavy gloved input that depends on physical keys
  • Tablet-size display or forklift-mounted workflows

Key Features

Eight points to understand before procurement

6-inch HD+ display

720 × 1440, 450 nits, Gorilla Glass and optical bonding for clear frontline work.

Enterprise platform

Qualcomm Dragonwing QCM4490 up to 2.4 GHz; 6 GB RAM / 64 GB UFS.

5G and Wi-Fi 6

5G Release 16, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3; Wi-Fi 6E has regional and licensing conditions.

Scanning choices

SE4100, SR500, SR560 or camera-based directions, depending on region and configuration.

Removable batteries

Standard 3,800 mAh or extended 5,200 mAh PowerPrecision battery.

Cameras and NFC

13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front camera and NFC for record and identification workflows.

Rugged construction

IP68 / IP65; 1.2 m drop, or 1.5 m with rugged boot; 500 tumbles.

Enterprise software

Zebra DNA Core platform; some Core+, Wi-Fi 6E or tool capabilities require licensing.

Applications

Common application workflows

01

Retail operations

Receiving, price checks, shelf replenishment, inventory lookup and store tasks.

02

Logistics and delivery

Parcel verification, route tasks, proof records and exception photos.

03

Field service

Work-order updates, asset checks, inspection and location records.

04

Light warehouse

Receiving, put-away, picking verification and cycle counting.

Accessories & Platform

Plan batteries, charging, protection and software together

A practical deployment normally considers the device, standard or extended batteries, charging cradles, protective cases, carrying method and device management together. Workflows that depend on a particular scan range, SIM, Wi-Fi 6E or Core+ capability should confirm regional availability, licensing and system requirements first.

Selection Guide

Four steps to narrow the TC101 configuration

1

Define the work area

Confirm whether the device is mainly used in stores, warehouses, vehicles or outdoors, then list Wi-Fi and 5G needs.

2

Define scanning

Compare camera or scan-engine options against barcode type, distance, lighting and frequency.

3

Check power and accessories

Use shift length, charging locations, drop risk and carrying method to select batteries and protection.

4

Confirm software and region

Check Android apps, MDM, Zebra DNA licensing, SIM and wireless conditions for the target market.

Configuration Comparison

How do the scanning directions compare?

Direction Better fit Check
Camera-based configuration Low-to-medium frequency capture with a stronger photo requirement Confirm barcode quality, speed and app requirements
SE4100 General near-range 1D / 2D scanning Green LED; availability varies by region
SR500 Near-range scanning with a different aiming experience Yellow LED; availability varies by region
SR560 Specified red-light / laser aimer direction Availability varies by region; confirm configuration

Buying Pitfalls

Avoid four common procurement gaps

Quoting by model name only

TC101 still varies by scanner, battery, SIM and region; confirm the complete configuration.

Assuming Wi-Fi 6E is standard

Wi-Fi 6E is optional and involves Zebra DNA Core+ and regional availability.

Ignoring scan distance

Near-range store scanning and longer-distance warehouse labels may need different configurations.

Omitting power and protection

Build the accessory list around device count, shifts, drop risk and charging locations.

Why Easy Scan

Check the model, configuration and Hong Kong workflow together

As a Zebra Premier Solution Partner, Easy Scan can help Hong Kong businesses organise TC101 scanning, network, battery, accessory, software and support requirements around retail, logistics, field and light warehouse workflows. Final supply and compatibility remain subject to the confirmed configuration.
