Unitech EA530

Unitech EA530 is an Android 15 mobile computer in a smartphone form factor with a 6-inch display. It is built for warehousing, quality control, fixed asset inventory and field work, where the device stays in hand for the whole shift, so weight matters, and it still has to survive drops, dust and rain. The series comes in two versions: EA530 with a barcode scanner and EA530 UHF with an additional built-in UHF RFID reader. Both have a 4G modem with a nano SIM slot and eSIM.

Key features

• 2D imager with DPM code reading: reads 1D and 2D barcodes in any orientation, from paper and phone screens, as well as codes marked directly on metal or plastic. Scanning is triggered by two side buttons. A third, programmable button can be assigned to an app function.
• IP65 and IP68, 1.5 m drops, 1.8 m in a rugged boot: the device withstands dust, immersion in water and the usual drops from hand. The manufacturer also confirms 300 tumble cycles from 0.5 m.
• 242 g and 14 mm thick: the device fits in a pocket and does not tire the hand over hours of work. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.
• 4250 mAh battery swappable without switching the device off (except the UHF version): a spare battery is enough for multi-shift work. The USB-C port supports fast charging.
• Android 15 with GMS and Android Enterprise Recommended certification, upgradable to Android 17: octa-core 2.2 GHz processor, 6 GB RAM, 64 GB storage and microSD up to 1 TB.
• 6-inch HD+ display (500 nits) and 16 MP camera: the display works with gloves, wet fingers and a stylus. The rear camera has autofocus and a flash, so it is suitable for documentation photos, e.g. of damaged deliveries.
• 4G, eSIM and GPS, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC: the device works on the warehouse network and beyond, for drivers or field reps. eSIM is activated with a QR code, without swapping a physical card.
• Fleet management: the manufacturer's own MoboLink MDM, SOTI and VMware support, new device setup by scanning a barcode (StageGO) and kiosk mode that limits the device to selected apps.

How to choose a variant

• Barcode scanner or UHF RFID. EA530 is enough when goods and assets are labeled with barcodes. EA530 UHF adds a UHF RFID reader (Impinj E310, Gen2X) with a read range of up to 1.8 m, useful when RFID tags are already in use. The UHF version battery cannot be swapped during work.
• Pistol grip use. The back panel has contacts for a trigger grip. For intensive scanning, e.g. picking hundreds of lines per shift, the grip reduces wrist strain. Without it, the device works like a regular smartphone.
• Protection and charging. A rugged boot raises drop resistance to 1.8 m. For fleets there are 1-slot and 5-slot cradles, including Ethernet versions, which simplify charging and data transfer across many devices.
