Handheld’s Nauitz X4 Rugged Computer for the Mobile Worker Now Also with Android

Handheld Group on Sept. 17 announced  an upgrade of the Nautiz X4 rugged handheld, which was launched earlier in 2014. The Nautiz X4, a multipurpose compact handheld computer built for the mobile worker, now also runs Android 4.2 which gives customers a wider choice of operating systems.

The Nautiz X4 is optimized for field data collection. It has been designed and developed specifically for mobile workers in tough environments in industries such as warehousing, logistics, transportation, utilities, field service, security and public safety.

Measuring only 156 x 74 x 25.5 millimeters and weighing 330 grams, the Nautiz X4 features a high-brightness, sunlight-readable resistive touchscreen for computing in worksite environments and comes with either a 1D laser scanner or a 2D imager for scanning and barcoding tasks. The device also features a 5MP camera with auto focus and LED Flash.

The Nautiz X4 has an IP65 Ingress Protection rating. It also meets MIL-STD-810G military test standards for overall durability.

“The Nautiz X4 has become the obvious choice for mobile workers in a wide range of industries thanks to its ultimate mobility with true field functionality in a handy package and at a very attractive price,” said Johan Hed, product manager Handheld Group. “To offer our customers a wider choice, we now introduce the option to get a Nautiz X4 with either Android 4.2 or Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.”
