WS50 RFID Android Wearable Computer
The world’s smallest all-in-one enterprise-class wearable computer — now with RFID
The WS50 RFID is another industry first from Zebra, packing even more functionality into the world’s smallest all-in-one enterprise-class Android wearable computer. Now, you can give your disconnected task workers more tools to complete more types of tasks, boosting collaboration, productivity and workflow efficiency to the next level. With this powerful little device, your workers get an integrated ergonomic host-free UHF RFID reader, a barcode scanner that can capture virtually any barcode in any condition, two-way radio instant push-to-talk capabilities and more that can be worn on a wrist, back of the hand or two fingers. The advanced 2-inch touchscreen is perfect for task management, providing the right amount of screen space without compromising wearability. Designed for the enterprise, the WS50 RFID delivers the rugged reliability, multi-shift swappable battery power and easy manageability that your business needs. And Mobility DNA adds unmatched value with features that make these devices easier to use and manage.
Designed for maximum flexibility
True ‘no-host’ one-piece wearable
With the WS50 RFID, workers only need to wear one device to capture and access data instead of a host mobile computer and ring scanner, providing a true converged wearable solution. And push-to-talk (PTT) support eliminates the need for separate voice devices.
Wear it your way with modular mounting options
With three different wearing styles, the adaptable WS50 RFID is ideal for virtually any task worker in practically any industry. It can be worn on a wrist, two fingers or the back of the hand.
All the key features of a full-size mobile computer
Optimize efficiency and accuracy with enterprise-class UHF RFID
With high performance UHF RFID functionality, the WS50 RFID empowers workers to be more efficient and effective. The WS50 RFID can read RFID tags up to 5 ft./1.5 m away. With an integrated upward facing antenna and external downward antenna, the WS50 RFID is ideal for a wide variety of use cases, including package sorting, item picking and user locationing. And Zebra’s industry-leading RFID technology ensures extraordinary reliability and read accuracy.
Better connect your workforce with push-to-talk (PTT) and task management applications
All models are PTT ready, enabling managers and workers to instantly collaborate for faster issue resolution and increased staff productivity. All models also support task management applications, enabling better staff utilization and management.
Advanced enterprise-class scanner for intense barcode scanning
The WS50 RFID includes Zebra’s SE4770 imager, delivering superior data capture performance. Scan virtually any barcode in practically any condition, as fast as you can press the trigger — even if they are damaged or poorly printed. Superior motion tolerance enables the capture of barcodes, even if the scanner and barcode are in motion. No need to depress the trigger for every scan — scan continuously with an optional integrated proximity sensor. A wide field of view makes it easy to capture large or multiple barcodes with split-second point-and-shoot simplicity.
Connect your disconnected workers with the WS50 RFID — the world’s smallest RFID-enabled Android enterprise-class wearable mobile computer.

And with a single trigger press, capture, properly format and transmit data on all barcodes on a label with Zebra’s Multi-Code Data Formatting.
Simplify backroom device and battery management — and purchasing — with modular accessories
Choose the charging solution that matches your deployment and device management needs — 2- or 10-slot charge-only cradles, 4- or 20-slot battery chargers, or an Ethernet cradle that supports five devices and five batteries. In mixed model deployments, color-coding allows you to instantly see whether a cradle or charger is for the RFID, converged or wrist-mount models.
The power of Android
This industry-standard mobile operating system provides a future proof platform designed to easily accommodate new features.
Integrated audio features
Give users the power of instant voice communications with the embedded speaker and microphone. Wirelessly connect a Bluetooth® headset, eliminating cords and enabling more private communications. And you can dedicate a button for PTT communications.
Powerful, centralized management for all models
The WS50 RFID supports major Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) systems, providing a single pane of glass to manage all of your mobile devices.
All the wireless connections you need
Wi-Fi™, Bluetooth and NFC are all standard in the WS50 RFID, enabling robust Wi-Fi ‘won’t fail’ connections and easy one-tap connections to Bluetooth peripherals.
Full-shift perpetual power
With removable, hot-swappable batteries, devices can remain in service every minute of every shift. A 2400mAh battery powers the WS50 RFID and batteries are ready to go in less than three hours with fast charging. And with hot swap support, users can just swap batteries and keep on working — no need to power down.
Automate workflows with programmable buttons
Make task execution even easier on the two-inch screen with programmable buttons that can be mapped to different functions, such as PTT, navigation, scanning, RFID capture and more.
Small but mighty with a built-in rugged design
Don’t underestimate these small devices. They weigh in at just a handful of ounces, but are built to handle all-day everyday enterprise use. Extreme heat and cold, bumps and drops — the WS50 handles it all. The RFID model operates reliably after multiple 5 ft./1.5 m drops and 2,000 consecutive tumbles. With IP65 sealing, the WS50 RFID is dust-tight and survives jetting water. And the protective front shell is replaceable, keeping your devices looking like new.
Advanced touchscreen display
The two-inch AMOLED color display offers exceptional performance. It is extraordinarily bright — no backlight is required. Better contrast and better viewing angles deliver superior readability. And low power consumption extends battery run time.
Drive workforce productivity and device value to a new level with powerful Zebra-only Mobility DNA tools
Easier integration into your environment
The Enterprise Mobility Development Kit (EMDK) makes it easy to take full advantage of all device features. And DataWedge easily captures, properly formats and transmits data in the right order to the right applications — without coding or modifying existing apps.
Increase device and data security
Mobility Extensions (Mx) adds extra layers of features that are crucial to protecting your devices, their resident data and network access. LifeGuardTM for Android provides a lifetime security guard for Android, protecting your devices every day they are in service. And Enterprise Home Screen allows you to specify the apps and device features users can access, protecting productivity and increasing device and network security.
Simplify deployment and management
Stage thousands of devices with a scan of a barcode or a tap of an NFC tag. Test major device systems to eliminate unnecessary trips to the Service Center with the on-device Device Diagnostics Tool. And easily integrate all Zebra APIs via your EMM with OEM Config.
Optimize your Wi-Fi network
Mobility DNA™ Wireless Fusion provides a dependable and superior Wi-Fi experience with Zebra-only features that keep workers connected and productive while roaming your facility.
