Which unit covers the connectivity requirements of your deployment environment?

The Memor 30 (944850001) is a Wi-Fi-primary device. Its specified interfaces are USB 3.2 Type-C, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6/6E (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax), Ethernet, and NFC. No WWAN or 5G cellular radio is listed in its specs. This makes it well-suited to warehouse or distribution-center environments blanketed by enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure, where a cellular subscription and SIM-management overhead are unnecessary.

The Memor 35 5G (944900004) adds a 5G WWAN radio to the same Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC stack. Its spec explicitly lists '5G' under the Wireless field and references a WWAN connection page. USB 3.2 Type-C is also present. Ethernet is not listed for this model in the provided specs. The 5G radio is the defining differentiator: it allows the device to operate over cellular networks without Wi-Fi coverage, making it viable for yard management, field service, last-mile delivery, and any outdoor or mobile task where infrastructure connectivity cannot be assumed.

NFC is confirmed present on both units. Ethernet availability is specified for the Memor 30 but is absent from the Memor 35 5G spec set provided.

How do scanning range, processor, and display capability compare between the two models?

The Memor 30 (944850001) specifies a barcode scanning range of 10 cm to 10 m, which is a notably wide range supporting both near-contact and long-distance reads. Its scan engine is listed as a 1D/2D imager. The processor is a Qualcomm QCS4490 octa-core running at 2.4 GHz, paired with 6 or 8 GB RAM and 128 GB UFS Flash storage. The display is 6.0-inch Full HD+ (2160 × 1080) protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. A 13 MP rear and 8 MP front camera are specified.

The Memor 35 5G (944900004) uses a Qualcomm QCM4490 octa-core at 2.4 GHz—a field/mobile-optimized variant of the same Qualcomm 4490 platform. RAM and storage are identical at 6/8 GB and 128 GB UFS, and the display specification is the same 6.0-inch Full HD+ with Gorilla Glass 5 and the same 13 MP / 8 MP camera pair. The scan engine is described as a 1D/2D Area Imager; however, no numeric scanning range (minimum-to-maximum distance) is provided in the specs for the Memor 35 5G. Symbologies listed for the Memor 35 5G include QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Code 128, Code 39, UPC, and EAN.

The processor silicon differs by part number (QCS4490 vs. QCM4490), both at the same clock speed. The Memor 30 provides an explicit 10 cm–10 m scan range figure; an equivalent range figure is not present in the Memor 35 5G spec data provided.

Which device is better equipped for physically demanding and outdoor operating conditions?

Both units carry identical ingress protection ratings of IP65 and IP68, and both are certified to MIL-STD-810H. The 4,680 mAh safe-swap battery with wireless charging is shared across both models, meaning neither device need be powered down for a battery swap during a shift.

Weight differs: the Memor 30 is specified at 313 g (0.69 lb), while the Memor 35 5G is heavier at 327 g (0.72 lb)—a delta of 14 g attributable in part to the added 5G radio hardware. Full physical dimensions for the Memor 30 are not provided beyond a length of 10 cm; the Memor 35 5G lists 78.5 × 168 × 17.8 mm (3.09 × 6.61 × 0.70 in).

The Memor 35 5G spec includes an 'Environment Rating: Outdoor' field, which is absent from the Memor 30 spec set. The Memor 35 5G also specifies Android 13 upgradable to Android 18, providing a longer declared OS support horizon. The Memor 30 specifies Android 13 with GMS; no future upgrade path is listed in the provided specs. The Memor 30 specifies a 6 ft to concrete drop spec; the Memor 35 5G references MIL-STD-810H without a separate concrete-drop distance figure in the provided data.

Which should you choose: the 944850001 or the 944900004?

Our take: The 944850001 Memor 30 is the stronger choice when the deployment is confined to Wi-Fi-covered facilities and long-range barcode scanning is a priority. It specifies a 10 cm–10 m scan range absent from the Memor 35 5G spec set, weighs 14 g less at 313 g vs. 327 g, and includes Ethernet connectivity not listed for the Memor 35 5G. Conversely, the 944900004 Memor 35 5G is the correct selection for any role requiring cellular connectivity: it adds a 5G WWAN radio, carries an explicit 'Outdoor' environment rating, and specifies an OS upgrade path to Android 18 that the Memor 30 spec does not mention. Both share the same display, battery, camera, RAM, storage, IP65/IP68, and MIL-STD-810H credentials. Choose the Memor 30 for warehouse and distribution-center fixed-infrastructure deployments; choose the Memor 35 5G for field service, yard operations, or any site where Wi-Fi coverage cannot be guaranteed.
