TC21/TC26 Touch Computer

The ultimate cost-effective touch computer built for small and big business

If you’re considering purchasing low-cost mobile phones for your workers, step up to the TC21/TC26 Touch Computers — without stepping up in price. Help your workers access the data they need to act more efficiently. With multiple configurations at different price points, you pay only for the features your workers need, including connectivity — the Wi-Fi-only TC21 for workers inside the four walls or the Wi-Fi/cellular TC26 for workers out in the field. New options include best-in-class 2.2 GHz computing power to maximize application performance, a protective boot for more demanding environments and the ability to turn these devices into a complete workstation in seconds. And powerful new Zebra Mobility DNA™ solutions expand data capture capabilities and simplify device management for any size deployment. The TC21/TC26 Touch Computer — right sized, right featured, right price.


A New Level of Features for a Value-Priced Device

Lightweight Right-Sized Small Design

Lightweight, easy to carry and easy to operate with one hand.

Android Familiarity

Virtually eliminate training with the familiarity of Android and the built-in support of future Android releases provide superior future-proofing.

Large 5-Inch High Definition Advanced Touchscreen

Get plenty of space to interact with your applications. And the touchscreen is easy to view indoors and outside in bright sunlight.

Built for Business

Waterproof, dustproof, drops to concrete, snow, rain, heat, freezing cold — the TC21/TC26 can handle it all. The display and scanner exit window are fortified with Gorilla Glass. And if you work in more demanding environments, no problem — the optional protective boot ensures reliable operation even after a 5 ft./1.5 m drop.

The power to run all your applications

With a choice of a 1.8 GHz or 2.2 GHz advanced Qualcomm octa-core processor, the TC21/TC26 delivers the fast response times that users need — even for the most demanding applications.

All the wireless connections you could ever need

When it comes to wireless, the class-leading TC21/TC26 offers it all — Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC.

Digital wallet support for contactless transactions

With support for Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap, the TC21/TC26 can read tickets, loyalty cards, gift cards, boarding passes and more stored in Apple or Google wallets on consumer smart phones.1

Superior voice quality and functionality

VoLTE delivers superior voice quality over cellular networks, while Zebra’s advanced VoWiFi technology, included with the Mobility DNA Enterprise License, delivers superior voice quality over all of your Wi-Fi voice applications —

for example, Push-to-Talk Express for basic walkie-talkie style communications, the Workforce Connect PTT Pro2 subscription service for walkie talkie-style communications over cellular and Wi-Fi networks, and Workforce Connect Voice3 to turn TC21 and TC26 devices into fully-featured PBX handsets.

Capture it all with a high resolution 13 MP rear camera

From proof of delivery to a damaged package, completed repair and occasional barcode capture, do it all with the integrated autofocus color camera.

The right maintenance plan for the right price

Receive enterprise-level service at the right price with Zebra OneCare™ SV. This service helps eliminate unexpected repair costs and keeps devices up and running — at a fraction of the cost of a single uncovered repair.

LifeGuardTM — a lifetime security guard for Android

Included at no cost with your Zebra OneCare maintenance plan, LifeGuardTM for AndroidTM provides security patches and updates to keep devices secure, with options that give you full control over every aspect of the update process.

Extensive business-class accessory family

Easily and cost-effectively manage any size device pool in any environment with single and multi-slot chargers and cradles, vehicle holders, wearable and carrying solutions and more.


The most options in its class

Choose the right scanning option for your applications

For scan-intensive 1D/2D applications, choose the SE4710 for faster-than-ever barcode capture. For light to moderate 1D/2D scanning requirements, choose the SE4100. If you just need every-now-and-then barcode capture, the high resolution 13 MP camera in the base model can do the job. Zebra’s optional OCR Wedge effortlessly captures standardized data, such as information on license plates to streamline citations; on labels to track shipments moving through a warehouse; and serial numbers on parts and equipment for track and trace in manufacturing.

A removable single or multi-shift battery

The standard battery provides more than enough power to outlast a shift, while the extended battery is ideal for long or double shifts.4 Since the battery is removable, you never need to take the device out of service for charging.

Create a hands-free wearable solution in the warehouse

The optional wrist-mount accessory provides the comfort and productivity boost of hands-free operation. Simply tap to pair with Zebra’s RS5100 Bluetooth ring scanner and Zebra mobile printers.

Add a 5 MP front camera for video calls

Enable technicians in the field to collaborate with experts to increase first-time-to-fix rates, simplify on-the-job training and more.

Create a mobile-driven workstation

Simply drop the TC21/TC26 into a Workstation cradle to connect to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer and more, eliminating the need to purchase and manage separate fixed workstations.5 A mobile-driven solution uses less energy than the average desktop computer — lowering your energy costs and carbon footprint.
