Real everyday heroes need the right equipment to do heroic things. The ET401 offers your customers in retail, hospitality, transport and logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing a tablet that handles any challenge. With enhanced touchscreen technology, an even more intuitive user interface, and AI-powered software, the ET401 is the ideal tool for everyday heroes – featuring a sleek design, performance, and reliability demanded by an increasingly dynamic work environment.
Equipped with a 6,100 mAh battery (8″ model) and 7,600 mAh battery (10″ model), the ET401 is ideal for long shifts. Thanks to fast charging, downtime is minimised and productivity is enhanced. Additionally, it is IP68-certified, fully dust- and waterproof, and impact-resistant from up to 1.2 m. Yes, everyday heroes sometimes get wet while working outside – it is used in the rain, survives accidental drops into puddles, and may be hosed down for cleaning. The optional protective case extends drop resistance to up to 1.55 m, which is particularly advantageous for busy warehouse operations or manufacturing environments.
The Android 15 operating system with GMS ensures security and smooth operations. With support for up to three major OS upgrades and Android Enterprise 4+4, the tablet is particularly durable. Furthermore, Zebra DNA Professional ensures seamless transparency, optimised uptime, and effortless integration into existing systems. Rapid temperature changes pose no problem for the tablet. Thanks to thermal shock tests and a wide operating temperature range, the ET401 works effortlessly in freezing cold or scorching heat – even in alternating conditions.
With two impressively high-resolution cameras, your customers’ everyday heroes don’t need X-ray vision with the ET401. The 16 MP rear camera captures fine details in photos, making the tablet ideal for documenting deliveries or the condition of goods. The intuitive Enterprise Camera App offers innovative features. In addition to detecting dirty lenses and a digital level, gesture control ensures even simpler and more efficient workflows. The 8 MP front camera enables high-resolution video calls, significantly improving collaboration between employees and contributing to quick problem-solving.
Thanks to AI-powered technology, the ET401 filters out acoustic echoes and suppresses background noise, achieving higher quality and even more brilliant voice reproduction – even in environments that challenge conventional noise-cancelling technologies.
With the optional SE4100 scan engine, barcodes are captured at mid-range. The SR500 scan engine captures barcodes in all lighting conditions, including bright sunlight, and is suitable for long-range scanning. The yellow LED aiming point with red illumination provides better contrast and simplifies precise targeting. Additionally, the ability to capture images, documents, and OCR codes is ideal for proof of delivery and much more.
Wi-Fi 7 offers more than double the speed of Wi-Fi 6, as well as double the bandwidth and multiband communication, supporting more devices and thus more data traffic. The optional 5G 2nd Gen Release 17 provides reliable and fast mobile speeds and support for private 5G networks – ideal for large areas where Wi-Fi deployment is too complex or costly. Bluetooth 6.0 enables low-energy connections and transmits precise location accuracy to automatically connect and disconnect peripherals.
A new Zebra tablet doesn’t mean replacing all accessories. A major advantage: most ET40/ET45 accessories are compatible with the new ET401. These include, for example, the Zebra Workstation Connect Cradle, expansion modules, PowerPacks, presentation stands, clips, straps, chargers, adapters (power, audio, USB) and specific third-party mounts and docks.
At the heart of the ET401 is the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor – a true powerhouse. Three generations ahead of the previous SM6375 in the ET40/ET45, it delivers over 42% more performance and brings cutting-edge AI and multimedia technologies. This ensures that demanding applications run even more smoothly, whether in the warehouse, retail, or field service. With long-term support until 2034, the ET401 is well-prepared for the future.
With the ET401, RFID technology is now fully integrated into an enterprise mobile processor. The Dragonwing reads up to 90 RFID tags per second within a range of up to 1.2 metres – all without a separate reader. This allows for rapid inventory checks or automatic tool identification. It saves time, reduces errors, and opens up entirely new possibilities in mobile work environments.
With Zebra DNA, managing the tablet becomes effortless. The comprehensive software suite assists in setting up, securing, managing, and optimising the devices – for maximum performance with minimal effort. Applications like Zebra Workstation Connect, Zebra Pay, Workcloud Sync, or Zebra Guardian further enhance the functionality, making the ET401 a true all-rounder in the modern work environment.
