Zebra WS301 Wearable

Enterprise-Class Flexibility, Interoperability and Manageability

Zebra's Proven Android Platform

The WS301 fits into existing Zebra mobile device deployments with a common Android platform and support for future Android versions. Zebra Mobility Extensions (Mx) add enterprise-ready controls that help turn standard Android into a platform built for business operations.

Easy Centralized Management

IT teams can manage the WS301 through the same EMM tools used for other Zebra mobile computers. Zebra OEMConfig exposes WS301 device features to supported EMM platforms, helping administrators configure the wearable as soon as it is deployed.

So Little, But Easy to Find

Misplaced devices can be located with Zebra Device Guardian, helping teams recover shared wearables before they interrupt operations or create unnecessary replacement costs.

Always in Service with a Removable Battery

The removable 750 mAh battery helps keep the WS301 in service instead of parked on a charger. Up to 10 hours of battery power supports a full shift, while fast charging helps ensure spare batteries are ready when workers begin the next shift.

Comprehensive Enterprise-Class Features

Wear It Your Way

Workers can clip the WS301 to a lapel, apron, shirt pocket or belt, or wear it on the wrist like a watch. This gives teams a compact hands-free option for retail, hospitality and light manufacturing workflows.

Virtually Weightless Android Computer

The WS301 is about two inches square and just over a half inch thin. The device weighs 2.08 oz. on its own, about 3.07 oz. in the clip mount and about 3.10 oz. in the wrist mount with a standard strap.

Voice-First Interface

The WS301 is designed around voice-driven operation. Workers can wake the device, place calls, receive tasks, adjust volume and interact with supported applications using natural speech. Two internal microphones with noise suppression and echo cancellation, plus an upward-facing speaker, help keep voice interactions clear.

Use Wired or Bluetooth Headsets

Bluetooth headset support and 3.5 mm PTT headset support in the clip mount let organizations choose the audio setup that works best for each job role and environment.

Capture, Communicate and Respond

Capture Barcodes, Photos and Videos

The 13 MP top-facing camera supports quick data capture for barcode lookups, stock checks, damaged-return documentation and other task-based workflows. A 5 MP front-facing camera with a wide field of view supports video calls and visual collaboration.

Improve Safety with a Duress Button and Safety-Cam

A dedicated programmable red Duress button can launch the action your organization defines, such as automatically placing a video call to security so the response team can see what is happening in real time.

Customizable Buttons for Ease of Use

PTT and volume buttons are grouped on one side for one-finger access, and buttons can be mapped to application-specific functions based on the active screen or workflow.

Never Miss a Notification

Audio and vibration feedback help workers know when data capture succeeds, when a message arrives or when a new task needs attention, even in busy or noisy environments.

Built for Work

Designed for Tough Everyday Use

The rugged WS301 is drop-proof, tumble-proof and waterproof for demanding work areas. It is rated for 4 ft. drops to concrete across the operating temperature range, 1,000 tumbles at 1.6 ft. and IP65 sealing against dust and water.

2-Inch Advanced AMOLED Display

The bright 2-inch AMOLED display delivers crisp text, vibrant color, true black levels and quick screen refreshes. The optically bonded touch panel supports fingertip and glove input for common frontline environments.

Simply Tap to Connect to Peripherals

Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC tap-to-pair make it easier to connect supported headsets, printers and other peripherals without slowing workers down.

No-Drop Wi-Fi Connections

Wi-Fi 6 and Zebra Fusion help deliver reliable wireless performance for voice calls, data access and task workflows. The WS301 supports 2x2 MU-MIMO, Wi-Fi certification and enterprise security options including WPA3.

Superior Lifecycle Support

Services for Every Deployment Phase

Zebra Professional Services can assist with staging, kitting and Gold Build creation. Zebra OneCare™ maintenance plans add coverage options for accidental damage, functional failure, normal wear and tear, repair turnaround times and live-agent support needs.

LifeGuard and VisibilityIQ Support

LifeGuard™ for Android™ provides OS security updates to help protect devices from emerging threats. VisibilityIQ™ Foresight adds a color-coded dashboard for device analytics so teams can identify developing issues before they impact productivity.

A True Enterprise-Class Lifecycle

The WS301 is available for sale for four years, with maintenance services available for a total of eight years. That lifecycle helps reduce the complexity of mixed-device deployments and supports a stronger long-term return on investment.

Enterprise-Class Accessories

For Workers and the Backroom

WS301 user accessories include clip mounts, wristbands, screen protectors and USB-C charge cables for flexible charging. Backroom management is supported by multi-slot ShareCradle chargers for the WS301, spare batteries and other Zebra devices.

Expand Functionality with Zebra Software

Enable Real-Time Collaboration

Workcloud Sync can turn the WS301 into a real-time communication tool with push-to-talk, voice and video calling, multimedia chat and to-dos for frontline collaboration.

Task Management Made Easy

Zebra Workcloud Task Management helps automate task assignment, monitor completion status, adjust priorities and keep workers aligned from a compact wearable interface.

Everything is Easier with Zebra DNA

Zebra DNA for Mobile Computers helps set up, secure, manage and optimize WS301 devices across the lifecycle. Zebra DNA Cloud gives administrators a single place to manage supported Zebra DNA tools.
