Zebra TC73 / TC78

Blazing speed

The Qualcomm 6490 octa-core platform delivers up to 90% more processing power and up to 400% more graphics performance than the prior generation under Zebra comparisons. Memory options up to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash support simultaneous business applications, video, augmented reality and data-intensive workflows.

More rugged, lighter, thinner — and more ergonomic

Advanced materials and a grip area nearly 20 percent thinner than the prior generation help reduce fatigue without sacrificing the ruggedness required for demanding shifts. Corning Gorilla Glass protects the display and imager window, while a thinner grip area and balanced industrial design reduce effort during repeated use. Dual IP65/IP68 sealing protects against dust and water. With the rugged boot, the devices are engineered for drops up to 10 feet and 2,000 consecutive tumbles.

Industry-leading 6-inch advanced display

The 6-inch FHD+ display provides 28% more viewing area than the prior-generation display, giving workers a detailed view of applications, forms, maps and media. A 600-nit backlight supports indoor and outdoor viewing, while touch modes support appropriate bare-finger, glove and wet-screen use. Choose the SE4770 for everyday 1D/2D capture or the SE55 with IntelliFocus for barcodes in hand and on racks more than 40 feet away.

All the right battery features and flexibility to stay powered up

Four battery choices address different workflows: standard, standard with a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon, extended-capacity and wireless-charging configurations. Capacities and charging features vary, so buyers should match the exact 4,400 mAh or 6,600 mAh option and charging accessory to the selected device.

All the latest wireless connections

The TC73 uses tri-band Wi-Fi 6E for high-capacity connections in warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail stores and other facilities with compatible infrastructure. Zebra Wireless Fusion features support roaming and connection control, while Bluetooth can maintain approved peripheral connections across multiple hosts where supported.

Superior flexibility with Bluetooth 5.2

The TC73 uses tri-band Wi-Fi 6E for high-capacity connections in warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail stores and other facilities with compatible infrastructure. Zebra Wireless Fusion features support roaming and connection control, while Bluetooth can maintain approved peripheral connections across multiple hosts where supported. The TC78 adds 5G, private 5G and CBRS support for delivery, field service, yards, ports and other wide-area operations while retaining Wi-Fi 6E. Multi-band GNSS can provide location accuracy up to six times better than prior solutions under Zebra test conditions, with actual results affected by environment and satellite visibility.

High performance scanning for every job

The Qualcomm 6490 octa-core platform delivers up to 90% more processing power and up to 400% more graphics performance than the prior generation under Zebra comparisons. Memory options up to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash support simultaneous business applications, video, augmented reality and data-intensive workflows. Zebra imaging is designed for fast reads of damaged, dirty and poorly printed labels. Hot-swap battery support on compatible configurations lets workers change a depleted battery while preserving active work, helping shared devices stay productive across shifts.

Capture ultra-high resolution photos and video intelligence

The 16 MP rear camera captures detailed proof-of-condition, delivery and inspection images, while the 8 MP front camera supports video collaboration. Premium configurations add optical image stabilization and time-of-flight sensing. A user-accessible microSD slot supports cards up to 2 TB, giving teams space for maps, photos, video, offline data and other large files. Zebra Dimensioning Mobile Parcel can capture legal-for-trade parcel dimensions on supported configurations, helping transportation and logistics teams reduce separate equipment.

Hear every word on every call

Available Zebra solutions can turn the TC73 or TC78 into a mobile-powered workstation, two-way radio or PBX handset. RFID sleds can add rapid UHF tag reading for inventory workflows.

Planned availability and service horizon

Zebra positions the TC73 and TC78 for a five-year sales period with up to ten years of service and support from initial availability. Actual ordering status, Android support and service terms depend on the purchase date, region and selected Zebra agreement.

Preserve work across accessories and software

A broad accessory family supports charging, carrying, mounting, workstation and vehicle use, while Zebra DNA tools provide a shared management and application environment. Accessory and software compatibility should be checked by model and configuration rather than assumed from an earlier TC7X device.
