Handheld release Nautiz X81

The innovative 4.8” screen uses display technology to deliver a sunlight-readable screen for outdoor work – without draining the battery life. The Nautiz X81 comes with a full numeric keypad and was also designed to accommodate customer- and job-specific requirements. It features customisation via expansion caps allowing a wide array of affordable and simple-to-develop solutions.

The handheld is ultra-rugged and durable, with an IP67-rating as waterproof and dust-sealed, and it withstands shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures, from -30˚C up to +60˚C. With a powerful 2.0GHz processor, Android 12 OS and both 5G and 4G/LTE, the Nautiz X81 offers robust computing power and versatile communication capability.

Following the long-term success of the Nautiz line of rugged devices, Handheld surveyed customers to find what they wanted from a cutting-edge tool. The result is a new set of specs and functionality, but with a familiar look.

"Interestingly, while everyone was interested in expanded performance capabilities, there was also overwhelming support for the existing form factor," says Johan Hed, Handheld Director of Product Management. "So we re-invented the wheel without changing the basic design, look and feel. Both new and repeat customers will find the Nautiz X81 has the same solid and comfortable feel of its predecessor."

Beyond the revolutionary screen, strong battery performance and wide-ranging versatility, the Nautiz X81 offers other performance upgrades.

Additional pertinent features include:

• a physical full numeric keypad with a dedicated scan button
• Android 12, Android Enterprise Recommended and Google GMS for access to all Google apps
