Datalogic 946600015 Mobile Computer

The Datalogic Falcon X60 is a rugged enterprise handheld terminal built for operators who need reliable barcode reading, broad wireless connectivity, and all-day battery endurance in physically demanding environments. Running on Android 15 with a Qualcomm Dragonwing 4490 Octa-Core 2.4 GHz processor and 8 GB RAM, the device pairs computing headroom with a 128 GB UFS flash storage base and a microSD expansion slot supporting up to 2 TB, keeping application performance and data capacity well ahead of shift requirements.

Key Features:

• The Halogen scan engine family covers Standard, Extended Range, and Extra-long Range 1D/2D reading, with the XLR engine delivering Green Spot visual confirmation visible up to 10 m, so operators know immediately when a scan registers without taking their eyes off the label.
• Wi-Fi 6/6E per IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax with 2x2 MU-MIMO and WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit security delivers high-throughput, low-latency wireless in dense RF environments where older standards degrade.
• The 7,000 mAh removable Li-Ion battery supports hot-swap and USB-C fast charging as well as 10 W WPC Qi EPP wireless charging, giving fleet managers multiple strategies for keeping devices powered across extended shifts without workflow interruption.
• IP65 and IP68 sealing per IEC 60529, multiple 2.8 m drops to concrete per MIL-STD-810H at ambient temperature, and 4,000 tumbles at 1.0 m mean the device is built to absorb the physical punishment of daily industrial use.
• Three backlit physical keyboard layouts — 31-key Numeric, 41-key Functional Numeric, and 53-key Alphanumeric — combined with a field-detachable pistol grip handle let operators configure the device for their specific input task without tools.
• Android 15 GMS and AOSP, upgradeable to Android 19, paired with the Datalogic Mobility Suite and compatibility with major UEM platforms including SOTI MobiControl, VMware Workspace One, and Microsoft Intune, supports long-term device lifecycle management at enterprise scale.
• Chemical resistance to common cleaners including 70% ethanol, 70% isopropyl alcohol, 3% hydrogen peroxide, and 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution allows routine disinfection without degrading the housing or display.
• A 4.3-inch IPS LCD display at 480 x 800 resolution and 600 nits typical brightness, with a 5-point multi-touch capacitive panel, optical bonding, and glove and stylus support, keeps content readable and interaction accurate across lighting conditions.

The Falcon X60 sits within the Falcon X product series as the Wi-Fi-only configuration of the family, while the X65 variant adds cellular WWAN and GNSS capabilities for deployments requiring wide-area connectivity or positioning.

Scan Engine Options and Targeting Precision

The Falcon X60 accepts three Halogen scan engine configurations: the DE2121-DL for standard-range 1D and 2D reading, the DE2121-ER for extended-range scenarios, and the DE2172 for extra-long range capture with Green Spot confirmation visible up to 10 m. The TrueAim two-stage trigger adds a pre-scan targeting stage that lets the operator align the aimer precisely before committing to the read, reducing misreads on damaged, small, or densely packed labels. All three engines support both 1D and 2D symbologies, so the choice of engine is driven by working distance rather than label type.

Wireless Connectivity Across Every Range

On the local area network, the device runs Wi-Fi 6/6E across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands — frequency availability is country dependent — with 2x2 MU-MIMO for simultaneous multi-user throughput and WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit mode for network security. For personal area networking, Bluetooth 5.3 supports both Classic Bluetooth and BLE profiles, enabling peripherals such as wireless scanners, headsets, and printers. NFC supports tag types 2, 3, 4, and 5 across ISO14443-4 A/B, ISO15693, Mifare, and Felica standards in both reader and card emulation modes.

Processing Power and Memory

At the core is the Qualcomm Dragonwing 4490 Octa-Core processor running at 2.4 GHz, backed by 8 GB of system RAM and 128 GB of UFS flash storage. The UFS flash architecture delivers faster read and write throughput than eMMC-based storage, which matters when applications are loading large datasets or writing capture results in real time. A single microSD slot accepts cards up to 2 TB, providing a straightforward path to extended local storage without a hardware change to the device itself.

Display Visibility in Any Light

The 4.3-inch LCD A-Si IPS panel delivers a WVGA 480 x 800 resolution at 600 nits typical brightness, a level that supports readability in direct sunlight as well as dimly lit environments. Optical bonding between the glass and the display panel eliminates the air gap that would otherwise cause internal reflections and reduce contrast outdoors. The Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protective layer adds impact and scratch resistance to a surface that is handled constantly throughout a shift.

Touch Panel and Physical Input

The 5-point multi-touch capacitive panel supports use with gloves and a stylus and incorporates water-drop rejection and an anti-fingerprint surface finish, keeping the screen responsive when hands are wet or soiled. Three physical keyboard options — 31-key Numeric, 41-key Functional Numeric, and 53-key Alphanumeric, all with backlight — cover the full spectrum from quick numeric entry to full alphanumeric text input. Two side scan keys and a TrueAim two-stage trigger are standard physical controls, and three Android software keys complete the key layout.

Form Factor Flexibility

The device ships in a handheld configuration measuring 232 x 80 x 42 mm and weighing 550 g with battery. Adding the field-detachable pistol grip produces a gun-form configuration at 232 x 80 x 165 mm and 700 g with battery. Because the handle detaches in the field without tools, operators can switch between configurations as the task changes rather than carrying two separate devices.

Battery and Charging Architecture

The removable 7,000 mAh Li-Ion battery is rated at 3.63 V typical (25.445 Wh) and supports hot-swap, meaning a depleted battery can be exchanged for a charged one without powering down the device or losing application state. USB-C fast charging is available via the Type-C port, and the device also accepts 10 W wireless charging through WPC Qi EPP-compatible docks, which eliminates the mechanical wear associated with repeated contact charging over a fleet's lifetime.

Rugged Construction and Environmental Rating

Sealing is rated IP65 and IP68 with battery installed per IEC 60529, covering both dust ingress and sustained water submersion. Drop resistance has been validated at multiple 2.8 m falls to concrete at ambient temperature and multiple 2.4 m falls across the full operating temperature range of -20 to 50 degrees C, both per MIL-STD-810H. Tumble resistance covers 4,000 cycles at 1.0 m, meeting and exceeding IEC 60068-2-32 Procedure 2. The operating temperature range spans -20 to 50 degrees C, and the storage and transport range extends from -30 to 70 degrees C.

Chemical Resistance for Regular Cleaning

The housing withstands regular exposure to a defined set of cleaners: water solution of sodium hypochlorite 0.8%, ammonia-based glass cleaners, Formula 409 surface cleaner, ethyl alcohol 70%, isopropyl alcohol 70%, and hydrogen peroxide 3%. This means the device can be wiped down with common facility disinfectants without the housing or lens surfaces degrading over time.

Cameras and Imaging Beyond Barcodes

A rear-facing 13-megapixel autofocus camera with user-controllable LED flash supports document capture, label photography, and torch-mode illumination. The front-facing 8-megapixel fixed-focus camera enables video calls and video-based workflows. Both cameras operate independently of the scan engine, so imaging tasks and barcode capture share the same device without hardware compromise.

Interfaces and Connectivity Ports

The primary data port is a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C connector in host and client configuration, with a secondary USB 2.0 Type-C port on the bottom I/O for dock integration. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is available via a compatible multi-slot dock, providing wired network access for high-bandwidth staging, firmware updates, or data sync tasks without relying on the wireless interface.

Sensors Supporting Operational Intelligence

The integrated sensor suite includes a 3-axis accelerometer for orientation detection, a gyroscope for angular velocity measurement, a magnetometer providing e-compass functionality, an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts display brightness, and a proximity sensor that deactivates the display when the device is held to the face during calls. A software-programmable vibration motor with configurable duration and intensity provides tactile feedback for scan events and alerts without requiring the operator to look at the display.

Audio for Hands-Free Operation

Two microphones with noise cancellation support clear voice capture in high-ambient-noise environments, and a speaker enables hands-free audio for calls and audio-cued application feedback. Push-to-talk functionality is also supported, allowing integration with PTT communication systems already deployed across a workforce.

Android Platform and Enterprise Software

The device runs Android 15 in both GMS-certified and AOSP configurations and carries a platform upgrade path to Android 19, extending the useful operating life of the hardware investment. The Datalogic Mobility Suite bundles tools across protection, configuration, development, and optimization categories. Protection tools include Shield for Android security updates, Launcher for kiosk-mode lockdown, and Enterprise Browser for secured web access. Configuration tools cover Scan2Deploy, OEMConfig, and QR-based enrollment generators for Wi-Fi and EMM/UEM onboarding. Optimization utilities include Battery Manager with Enterprise Battery Saver and Smart Charge, Wi-Fi Guard, Snap OCR for text digitization, and SoftSpot as a draggable on-screen scan trigger. Named UEM/EMM platforms with validated compatibility include SOTI MobiControl, VMware Workspace One, Microsoft Intune, 42Gears SureMDM, Ivanti Neurons, and any OEMConfig-compliant platform. The Datalogic Connect cloud platform provides remote device management, fleet monitoring, and operational insights across all deployed units.
