The BlueBird S21 is a rugged 6-inch Android mobile computer that combines barcode scanning, contactless payment acceptance and optional built-in UHF RFID in one 243 g device. Designed for retail, warehouse, logistics and field service teams, it runs a 2.6 GHz octa-core processor with Android 16, upgradeable to Android 18 and 20. IP65/IP68 sealing and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protect it in daily frontline use.
Key features
- Accept card payments on the device itself: front and top NFC with EMVCo Read Range 2 compliance supports SoftPOS for line busting and mobile sales.
- Optional integrated short-range UHF RFID reads more than 200 tags per second at up to 2 m / 6.5 ft, with no external reader to carry.
- Withstands drops of 1.83 m / 6 ft (2 m / 6.5 ft in the rugged case) and 1,000 tumbles, with IP65 and IP68 sealing.
- Choose the BE470, SE4730, SE4780 or SE55 scan engine; the SE55 reads barcodes on high shelves more than 10 m / 40 ft away.
- Hot swap batteries and fast charging keep devices in service across shift changes.
- 50 MP PDAF rear camera with flash and HDR for proof of delivery and damage records, plus an 8 MP front camera for video calls.
- A secondary BLE beacon works with BOS Device Finder to locate a misplaced device, even when powered off, while battery charge remains.
- Reuses existing S20 accessories such as charging cradles, hand straps and trigger handles to cut upgrade costs.
