Zebra TC51 Handheld Mobile Computer (Ex-Demo)

The Zebra TC51 is a compact, enterprise handheld mobile computer designed for fast, reliable data capture and task execution in retail, warehousing, hospitality, and field service. As an Ex-Demo unit, it has seen brief demonstration use and has been carefully refreshed before resale—external wear parts replaced (front/back plastics and digitizers), normal accessories included unless otherwise stated, and supplied typically in a plain brown box. Ex-Demo devices include a 6-month warranty by default, with the option to extend coverage to 3 years at a small additional cost—delivering a fully functioning mobile computer at a sharply reduced price.

With a familiar Android experience, integrated enterprise scanning, and a proven accessory ecosystem, the Zebra TC51 helps teams move faster, cut errors, and stay connected across busy shifts—on the shop floor, in the stock room, and on the road.
