Zebra MC3300

Semi-Rugged Android Mobile Computer


The replacement of the Zebra MC3200, the highlight of the Zebra MC3300 is its selection of multiple form factors, scan engines, keypad configurations and tiers of functionality to give you the best mobile computer that meets your needs. Add a gun/pistol grip or select the brick model for your choice of scanning at 0° or 45° angles or add a rotating head for ultimate flexibility scanning. 

In addition to the four form options, the MC3300 also has three scan engines options for scanning either 1D or 1D/2D barcodes to give you the broadest scanning range. Select the optional extended range SE4850 to capture barcodes from 3 in. to 70 ft. No matter what condition the barcodes are in—scratched, dirty, poorly printed or under shrinkwrap—the MC3300 captures it all.

As the industry continues to transition to an Android platform, certain features will make your transition easier. Ivanti Velocity is pre-loaded and pre-licensed, so you can run 5250 or VT terminal emulation immediately. For easy communication between workers, Zebra’s pre-loaded and pre-licensed Push-To-Talk turns your mobile computer into a walkie talkie. And with Zebra’s LifeGuard for Android, you are guaranteed direct security updates for 10 years from release date. This includes the ability to upgrade to future versions of Android through Zebra OneCare.

The MC3300 is a semi-rugged mobile computer. This includes

  • Seal rating of IP54, so it is protected against dust and spills. 
  • 5 ft. drop spec to concrete for all forms
  • Standard operating temperature range from -4°F to 122°F
  • Scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass display with air gap
  • Lightweight and well balanced to prevent hand fatigue

In addition, it is backwards compatible with MC3200 accessories, including cradles and holsters. And it is forwards compatible with Zebra’s PowerPrecision+ batteries that provide a full suite of metrics so that you know when a battery’s health is failing and needs to be replaced and more.
