The Honeywell CT50 Mobile Computer, as reviewed by Travis from POSGuys.com, is an outstanding and durable device that combines the features of Dolphin Black 60, Dolphin 6000, and Intermec mobile computers. It preserves a shape that is similar to an Android phone, while also providing the toughness of a mobile computer. The CT50 operates on Android KitKat but is upgradeable to Android Marshmallow when Honeywell updates it. In addition to this, it can run a Windows Mobile OS and is expected to support Windows 10 OS in the future. This device has a responsive capacitive screen, a built-in barcode scanner capable of reading 1D and 2D barcodes, and a camera for documentation. This device is seal-certified to resist dust and water, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of settings, and it also comes with an interchangeable battery.
The barcode scanner on the CT50 is particularly impressive for its aggressive scanning from multiple angles and long distancing ranges up to two feet. This proves useful outdoors and can be a great logistics tool. The scanner also supports scanning of driver's licenses, making it a great device for people in the field who need to register information. Despite appearing like a mobile phone, the Honeywell CT50 is tougher and easier to use than combining a Bluetooth scanner with a cell phone. It comes with a hand strap and stylus, though it is noted that the device doesn't function well with gloves. It has 2 GB of RAM, a 16 GB default storage, a quad-core processor, and a 4400 milliamp battery that lasts all day and can be replaced if needed.
