The Handheld Group has announced that it will discontinue several of its popular rugged devices, including the Nautiz X6, Nautiz X41 and Nautiz X2. For logistics, manufacturing, and field service organizations that rely on durable and rugged mobile devices, the question now is: What comes next?
With the Rockscan A260 and Rockscan A265, WEROCK offers a powerful and sustainable alternative. These rugged mobile computers come equipped with Android 14 (upgradable to version 16), modern 7-nanometer chipsets, 5G connectivity, fast-charging replaceable batteries, and long-range scanning of up to 14 meters. They offer top-tier performance while remaining lightweight and ergonomic.
