Zebra WS50 Wearable Computer RFID, Wrist-Mount, Android 11 AOSP, 1GB RAM, 8GB Flash, 13MP Camera

The Zebra WS50 MobileFlex is an enterprise-grade wearable mobile computer designed to keep data capture and communications at the worker’s fingertips. Built on Android 11, the WS50 family delivers a compact, rugged platform for hands‑free workflows across warehouses, distribution, manufacturing, field service and retail environments. Available in multiple mounting styles—wrist, finger, two‑finger and back‑of‑hand—the platform combines high-performance barcode imaging, optional UHF RFID reading, wireless connectivity and a bright 2.0-inch AMOLED display to accelerate task completion, reduce handling time and improve accuracy. Durable IP65 construction, hot‑swappable battery options and configurable input methods make the WS50 a flexible solution for demanding B2B deployments where uptime and operator efficiency matter.

Key Features

• Wearable versatility: Multiple mounting options (wrist, thin wrist, finger, two‑finger, back‑of‑hand) support diverse workflows and ergonomic preferences for hands‑free operation.
