Zebra MC2200 and MC2700 Mobile Computers

The Zebra MC2200 / MC2700 Series is a cost-effective Android mobile computer family designed for small and medium businesses that need reliable enterprise mobility without moving into a higher-cost industrial device class. It combines a physical keypad, touchscreen, professional barcode scanning, rugged construction, Zebra Mobility DNA tools and flexible Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity in a practical handheld form factor. The MC2200 is the Wi-Fi-only model for workers operating inside facilities such as warehouses, retail stores, manufacturing areas and back-of-store environments. The MC2700 adds cellular connectivity for users working outside the facility, in yards, ports, delivery routes or field service environments where Wi-Fi coverage is unavailable or too expensive to deploy. The devices are designed for businesses that need to improve productivity and task accuracy in everyday operational workflows. Typical applications include warehouse receiving, put-away, inventory, asset tracking, manufacturing replenishment, work-in-process tracking, quality control, retail inventory, receiving and shipping, returns processing, price checks, BOPIS workflows, delivery, proof of delivery and proof of condition. The MC2200 / MC2700 combines a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen with a physical 34-key numeric keypad. This makes the devices suitable for both traditional key-based workflows and newer touchscreen applications. The keypad layout is designed to be easy to use by feel, even with gloves, while the touchscreen allows businesses to modernize applications over time. A key advantage is the flexible “two devices in one” concept. The MC2200 and MC2700 can be used as classic handheld brick-style devices, or transformed into gun-style devices with the snap-on trigger handle accessory. The trigger handle requires no tools to attach, and because the electronics are built into the handle, scanning performance is not compromised. This is useful when the same device fleet needs to support both general data entry and scan-intensive workflows. The devices measure 200.5 mm × 70 mm × 38.5 mm. Weight is 296 g with the standard battery and 316 g with the extended battery. The tapered design is built for comfort, reducing pressure points and supporting secure one-handed use with both keypad and touchscreen. Performance is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor running at 1.8 GHz. Memory configurations include 2 GB RAM / 16 GB Flash and 3 GB RAM / 32 GB Flash. The 2 GB / 16 GB configuration is upgradeable to Android 11, while the 3 GB / 32 GB configuration is upgradeable to Android 14 according to the supplied specification. A user-accessible microSD slot supports up to 128 GB SDXC expansion. The MC2200 / MC2700 is designed to be more durable than consumer devices. It is rated IP65 according to applicable IEC sealing specifications, making it resistant to dust and water. The devices withstand multiple 1.52 m drops to concrete from -10°C to 50°C per MIL-STD-810G, and 500 tumbles from 0.5 m. Operating temperature is -20°C to 50°C, with storage temperature from -40°C to 70°C. The display and scanner exit window are protected with Corning Gorilla Glass. The housing is disinfectant-ready and designed to handle frequent wipedowns with common disinfectants, including bleach, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. This is useful in shared-device environments where multiple workers use the same device across shifts. Power is supplied by removable batteries. The standard battery is 3500 mAh / 12.60 Wh, while the extended battery is 4900 mAh / 17.64 Wh. The standard battery is positioned for nearly two full shifts under typical use, while the extended battery is designed for around-the-clock power. Warm Swap mode allows battery replacement without fully turning off the device or closing applications. Barcode scanning is provided by the SE4100 1D / 2D standard range imager. The scanner uses Zebra PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology to support fast first-time capture of common barcodes, including damaged, dirty or poorly printed codes. Omni-directional scanning reduces the need to precisely align the scanner and barcode, helping improve productivity in daily tasks. An optional 13 MP rear camera with Phase Detection Auto Focus and flash LED is available. This can support documentation workflows such as proof of condition, delivery documentation, asset photos, issue reporting or service records. Since the camera is optional, it should be treated as configuration-dependent. Wireless connectivity depends on the model. Both MC2200 and MC2700 support WLAN, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 High Speed host / client connectivity. WLAN support includes IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/d/h/i/r/k/v, Wi-Fi certification, IPv4 and IPv6, and 1x1 MU-MIMO. Fast roaming support includes 802.11r, PMKID caching, Cisco CCKM and OKC. The MC2700 adds WWAN cellular connectivity. Regional cellular support includes LTE Category 6 and, depending on region, GSM, UMTS and LTE bands. The MC2700 also supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and assisted GPS. One nano SIM slot is included, and optional eSIM support is listed for the MC2700. The MC2700 cellular connection is data communication only according to the supplied specification. Bluetooth support includes Bluetooth 5.0 Class 2 with BR / EDR and Bluetooth Low Energy. NFC supports ISO 14443 Type A and B, FeliCa and ISO 15693 cards, as well as P2P mode and host card emulation. NFC is optional, so it should be confirmed by configuration. Voice and audio features include an internal speaker and microphone, Bluetooth wireless headset support and high-quality speakerphone. Optional Zebra voice solutions can turn the MC2200 / MC2700 into PBX-style handsets. Workforce Connect Voice and similar full-duplex voice solutions require appropriate licensing, and the Mobility DNA Enterprise license is recommended for optimal voice-over-Wi-Fi performance and support. Zebra Mobility DNA Professional integrated solutions are included, helping simplify deployment, management, security and data capture. Included tools listed in the supplied material include DataWedge, Device Diagnostics, EMDK, Enterprise Home Screen, Mobility Extensions and StageNow. These tools allow businesses to stage devices, control access to apps and features, enter barcode data into existing applications without programming and run device diagnostics. An optional Mobility DNA Enterprise license unlocks additional tools such as Full Fusion, WorryFree Wi-Fi, Enterprise Keyboard, Multi-Barcode Scanning, Device Tracker and PowerPrecision Console. These can improve Wi-Fi reliability, voice quality, data entry, device tracking and battery management. Some tools and features may require additional licences or support contracts. The MC2200 / MC2700 also supports terminal emulation options. Zebra Terminal Emulation Lite can support existing TE applications without major process changes. All-touch TE powered by Ivanti Velocity can help transform green-screen applications into modern touch-based interfaces. Enterprise Browser can support web applications that integrate device features. Accessories are an important part of the platform. Options include single-slot and multi-slot cradles, battery chargers, hand straps, holsters, the snap-on trigger handle and other business-class accessories. These help businesses adapt the device to different workflows and manage fleets efficiently. Overall, the Zebra MC2200 / MC2700 Series is a practical choice for businesses that need affordable enterprise mobility with a physical keypad, professional scanning and rugged design. The MC2200 is best for Wi-Fi-based warehouse, manufacturing and retail workflows, while the MC2700 is the better option when cellular connectivity, outdoor work, delivery, yards, ports or GPS are required.
