What we like about it:

  • Innovative design for scanning while viewing device screen and is comfortable to hold and use.
  • Runs our TracerPlus software without issue and good overall device performance/speed
  • Rugged design with its 8ft drop to concrete per MIL-STD 810G and 6ft across full operating temperature range.
  • Lots of features (Camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, 6700 mAh Battery, 6ft drop spec).
  • Hot swappable battery allows you to pause what you are doing, change the battery and resume once replaced with no need to reboot.

What we didn't like about it:

  • Unable to deploy TracerPlus apps via MTP although Web deploy worked without issues. This may be a File System issue.
  • For_Import folder not accessible and Exported folder not always showing up in Windows Explorer when device is connected.
  • At $3395.00 MSRP, this device is more expensive than we would like to see based on what is offered.
