Unitech HT730 Plus

Unitech HT730 Plus is an Android 14 mobile computer with a 4-inch display and a physical keypad, built for one-handed use. It is designed for production halls, warehouses, freezers, cold stores and yards, where quantities are keyed in, barcodes are scanned from a forklift with gloves on, and the device regularly hits concrete. The manufacturer offers two connectivity versions: HT730 Plus Wi-Fi works on the company network, while HT730 Plus 5G adds a 5G modem, a micro SIM slot, eSIM and GPS. Its predecessor, the Android 10 based HT730, is no longer sold.

Key features

• 2D imager with a green laser aimer, reading up to 32 m in the long-range version: the SE5880 engine reads labels on the top rack levels without leaving the forklift. The standard SE4770 engine is enough for close-range scanning. The scan head is tilted 30° downward, which reduces wrist strain during intensive scanning.
• Backlit keypad with 29, 38 or 47 keys: quantities, lot numbers and locations are entered on physical keys instead of an on-screen keyboard.
• IP65 and IP67, 1.8 m drops to concrete, 2.4 m with a bumper (UHF version: IP65 and 1.8 m): the device withstands dust, water and the usual drops from hand or forklift.
• 6700 mAh battery swappable during work: after the battery is removed, apps stay active for up to a minute, so a swap does not interrupt the session. For multi-shift operation, a spare battery and a 4-slot battery charger are all you need.
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 4490 (octa-core, 2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, microSD up to 256 GB: Android 14 with GMS and Android Enterprise Recommended certification, upgradable to Android 16.
• Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2: three Wi-Fi bands (including 6 GHz), fast roaming between access points and dual-band simultaneous operation. The device also has NFC and a 16 MP autofocus camera.
• Freezer version down to −30°C: an integrated heater prevents condensation on the device when leaving the freezer. The 4-inch display (400 nits) works with gloves up to 4 mm thick and when wet. Dedicated bumpers and a pistol grip are available for the freezer version.
• Fleet management: the manufacturer's own MoboLink MDM, SOTI, AirWatch and 42Gears support, new device setup by scanning a barcode (StageGO) and kiosk mode that limits the device to selected apps.

How to choose a variant

• Connectivity. The Wi-Fi version is enough when the device stays within the company network. Choose the 5G version for yards, work between sites or field work.
• Scan engine. The SE5880 (long range) suits high-bay warehouses and scanning from a forklift. The SE4770 (standard range) is enough for shelf picking and production workstations.
• Keypad. The 29-key numeric keypad is for entering quantities. The 38-key function numeric keypad helps when the app uses function keys. The 47-key version is available only in the Wi-Fi version.
• Operating environment. The standard version operates from −20 to 50°C, which covers cold stores and unheated halls. For freezers choose the freezer version (from −30°C, with a heater). It is available with Wi-Fi and 5G and with both scan engines.
• UHF RFID reader. HT730 Plus UHF has a built-in UHF reader with an Impinj E710 chip and a read range of up to 25 m. It works on Wi-Fi only, with the standard scan engine.
• Package contents. Configurations differ in what is included (bumper, hand strap, second battery), so check the description of the selected variant.
