The Tablet That Solves for Today and Evolves for Tomorrow
Consumer-grade tablets might appear to be a cost-effective option for businesses because the price is right. But without the right features, savings can quickly turn into substantial hidden costs — companies may need to purchase a case to increase durability, a scanner for intense scanning tasks, and more frequent device replacements. Introducing the perfect solution — the ET401. The right-priced rugged enterprise tablet with all the features you need to do business, right out of the box.
Available in both 8-inch and 10-inch screens, the ET401 is the next generation of Zebra’s best-selling ET40 and ET45 Enterprise Tablets. The ET401 marries the familiar thin and light consumer design of the ET40/ET45 tablets with today’s most advanced mobile technologies, making these tablets smarter, faster, more rugged and more secure, with new data capture options, including RFID. The ET401 enterprise tablets—the sleek design that workers expect, with the power and rugged reliability their enterprise needs.

The Strong Return on Investment (ROI) that Businesses Need
The ET401 tablets are built to last, designed for business from the inside out. Drop them, use them in subzero temperatures, hose them off — and they still work. An unmatched lifecycle eliminates the deployment of multiple models that complicate the mobility architecture, adding support time and cost. And since Zebra’s optional OneCare Essential and Select support services are available for the entire product lifecycle, you can count on the support you need every day these tablets are in use.
Work Faster and Smarter with All the Right Business Features and Options
Choose your screen size — the easy-to-carry 8 inch or the larger 10 inch for viewing of information rich apps. Select the model based on your data capture needs including integrated scanning, RFID, high resolution front and rear cameras, and/or ultra-wide angled rear camera. Give workers the latest and fastest Wi-Fi, cellular and Bluetooth wireless connections for superior application and peripheral performance. Power shift after shift with the optional hot-swappable secondary battery. Turn these tablets into a kiosk, a mobile point-of-sale, an on-demand workstation and more. And a shared accessory family makes it easy to mix and match ET4 series models for different tasks and different workers.

MORE RUGGED, WITH 25% LONGER LIFECYCLE
-
More robust dust and water protection
With the enhanced IP68 sealing rating, your ET401 tablets are completely protected against dust and submersion in water. Use them in the rain, accidentally drop them in a puddle, and even spray with a hose to clean them, no problem. -
Designed for extreme temperature swings
Rapid temperature changes can be tough on a tablet’s sensitive electronics. But with thermal shock testing and a wide operating temperature range, the ET401 tablets can easily go from subzero cold to sweltering heat—and back. -
Advanced display protection
The display is one of the most crucial and vulnerable features. Gorilla Glass 5 offers advanced scratch-and-shatter protection. And water droplet rejection and a fingerprint resistant coating keep the display clear and easy to read, without constant cleaning. -
Unsurpassed eight-year life expectancy
The ET401 tablets are built from the ground up to last for years. Unlike many devices, they’re available for sale for four years, eliminating the cost and complexity of mixed model deployments. And with service extended for an additional four years, you get up to eight total years of service and support.
SMARTER, WITH BUILT-IN AI INTELLIGENCE
- An advanced processor with next generation mobile technologies
The Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ Q-6690 processor enables embedded AI-enhanced features and supports modern, cloud-based AI applications, the fastest wireless connections, on chip RFID and more. Three generations newer than the SM6375 in the ET40/ET45, this processor offers a 42%+ performance boost, with support through 2034. - Cutting-edge touchscreen technology for easy data entry
The AI-enabled touchscreen and advanced sensing technology redefine touch accuracy, flexibility and response time. Experience seamless data entry with a bare or gloved finger, or a conductive stylus—without needing to choose or change touch mode settings. No matter how you enter data, you get the same pinpoint accuracy and instant response, even in heavy rain. And the bright 600 nits display is easy to see indoors and outside. - Advanced AI-audio takes voice clarity to the next level
AI eliminates acoustic echoes and suppresses more background noises, delivering higher quality, clear voice—even in environments that challenge traditional noise suppression technologies.
MORE WAYS TO CAPTURE MORE DATA
- New integrated short range RFID option
The Dragonwing Q-6690 is the world’s first enterprise mobile processor with fully integrated RFID capabilities, enabling your ET401 to read 90 RFID tags per second up to 4 ft. (1.2 m) away—opening the door to many new contactless use cases. In seconds, retail associates can take inventory on store shelves and technicians can ensure the right tools and parts are loaded on their trucks—without the need to purchase and manage separate RFID readers. - New ultra-wide angle rear camera option
This 13 MP camera option paves the way for new vision applications that require a wider view. Car rental agencies can document the condition of a whole car, and retailers can capture an entire shelf section for merchandising—with just a few clicks. - Choose an optional integrated scanner to meet your needs
Use the SE4100 for low to moderate intensity standard range barcode scanning. The SR500 captures barcodes in all lighting conditions, including bright sunlight, and offers a longer scanning range and a first-of-its-kind yellow LED aimer with red illumination for greater contrast and easier, more accurate aiming. And the ability to capture images, documents and OCR/text is ideal for proof of delivery and more.
KEEP DEVICES SAFE WITH MULTIPLE LAYERS OF SECURITY
- Protect your device against physical hardware attacks
Secure Element and Android Strongbox provide the best physical security available on a mobile device and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. Plus, select models feature an embedded HID® security chip, allowing secure card or badge access to the ET401 and protected applications. - Prevent cyber-attacks with a lifetime security guard
LifeGuard™ for Android™ provides the timely OS updates you need to stay on top of emerging security threats. You choose when to update, making it easy to validate that your apps work before you update. And you choose how users update—over Wi-Fi or cellular networks or when devices are cradled and not in use. - Give your workers easy and secure device access
With Identity Guardian, workers can simply position their face in front of the screen to log on—and with Single Sign On (SSO) compatibility, there’s no more entering credentials to log in and out of applications throughout the day. - Easily find missing devices—even if they are powered off
Do you know where your devices are? With Device Guardian, you will, making it easy to find and recover lost or misplaced devices.
ALL THE FASTEST WIRELESS NETWORKS
-
Unmatched wireless performance with Wi-Fi 7, 5G and Bluetooth 6
Wi-Fi 7 delivers more than double the speed of Wi-Fi 6, double the bandwidth and multi-band communications, supporting more devices and more traffic. Optional 5G 2nd Gen Release 17 provides the fastest cellular speeds, plus private 5G network support—ideal for large areas where Wi-Fi may be too complex and costly to deploy. Bluetooth 6.0 delivers low-power connections and precise positioning accuracy to automatically connect and disconnect peripherals.
