Zebra TC73 / TC78
The ultra-rugged mobile computer re-imagined for a new generation of mobile workflows
The Zebra TC73 and TC78 deliver the processing power, display, data capture and ruggedness required for demanding enterprise mobility. Both models combine a bright 6-inch FHD+ screen, Qualcomm 6490 processing, enterprise barcode scanning, high-resolution cameras and Zebra DNA tools in a thinner, well-balanced design.
Choose the Wi-Fi 6E TC73 for workers inside the facility or the TC78 for 5G, private 5G, CBRS and Wi-Fi 6E across outdoor, field and wide-area operations. Optional solutions can extend either device into a workstation, two-way radio, PBX handset, RFID reader or mobile parcel-dimensioning tool.

Tough & Smart. Built to Perform
Fast enterprise performance
The Qualcomm 6490 platform delivers up to 90% more processing power and up to 400% more graphics performance than the prior generation in Zebra comparisons. Memory options up to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB UFS Flash support demanding business applications, video and data-intensive workflows.
Rugged without the bulk
A thinner grip, balanced design and Corning Gorilla Glass help reduce fatigue without compromising durability. The bright 6-inch display supports bare-finger, glove and wet-screen operation for indoor, outdoor and all-shift use.
The Ultimate in Features
Scanning for near and far
Choose the SE4770 for everyday 1D/2D scanning or the SE55 with IntelliFocus for damaged, dirty and distant barcodes, including labels on racks more than 40 feet away.
Cameras and mobile parcel options
The 16 MP rear and 8 MP front cameras support inspections, proof of condition and video collaboration. Select premium configurations add optical image stabilization, time-of-flight sensing and Zebra Dimensioning Mobile Parcel.
Choose the right connectivity
TC73 models use Wi-Fi 6E for facility-based work. TC78 models add 5G, private 5G and CBRS for delivery, field service, yards and other wide-area operations.
Power for the workflow
Standard, BLE, wireless-charging and extended-capacity battery configurations support different deployment needs. Match the selected device to its exact battery and compatible charging accessories.
One Device, Endless Potential
Extend beyond handheld computing
Supported Zebra solutions can turn the TC73 or TC78 into a mobile workstation, push-to-talk radio or PBX handset. Compatible RFID sleds add UHF tag reading for inventory workflows.
Build the right deployment
Charging, carrying, mounting, vehicle and workstation accessories support varied environments. Confirm compatibility by model and configuration rather than assuming that an earlier TC7 accessory will fit.
Zebra DNA for Mobile Computers - Set Up. Secure. Manage. Optimize.
Simpler deployment and security
Zebra DNA tools support staging, data capture, wireless optimization and security. LifeGuard for Android provides ongoing updates and patches, while Device Diagnostics helps teams troubleshoot devices.
Easier fleet management
Device Tracker and Zebra management tools help locate, maintain and support shared devices across their service life, reducing IT effort and device downtime.
