Description
The Chainway C71 is an industrial-grade rugged handheld computer with a 5.2-inch Full HD display, an octa-core 2.3 GHz processor and a 5000 mAh battery. It runs Android 11 or 13 with Google Mobile Services, so existing apps and management tools carry over.
The C71 suits logistics, retail, warehousing, healthcare and field service. IP65/IP67 sealing and a 1.8 m drop rating cope with mixed indoor and outdoor shifts, and optional modules add barcode, UHF RFID, HF and fingerprint capability.
Display, keypad and battery
The 5.2-inch IPS LTPS panel runs at 1920 × 1080 with Corning Gorilla Glass and multi-touch support for gloves and wet hands. Four front keys and two scan keys sit on the body. The 5000 mAh battery is rated for more than 12 hours of continuous use and more than 350 hours on standby, and it charges in about three to four hours.
Scanning, NFC and optional RFID
Chainway offers 2D imager options from Zebra (SE4710, SE4750) and Honeywell (N6603), plus a CM60 option. NFC at 13.56 MHz reads ISO14443A/B and ISO15693 tags at 2–4 cm. A built-in UHF module based on the Impinj Gen2X chip is offered on the RFID version, with a read range of up to 3 m depending on tags and environment.
Android, cameras and management
The C71 runs Android 11 or 13 with GMS, FOTA updates, and support for Soti MobiControl and SafeUEM. The rear camera is 13 MP with autofocus and flash, and the front camera is 5 MP, both optional on some configurations.
