Key Features
- 6.0-inch Full HD+ display (2160 x 1080): Significantly larger than typical 5-inch enterprise phones, reducing eye strain during extended field shifts and improving readability for data-entry and barcode scanning workflows. Gorilla Glass 5 front surface resists scratches during daily contact with equipment or dirt.
- Qualcomm QCM4490 octa-core processor at 2.4 GHz: Handles multi-threaded applications and background tasks without noticeable lag. Adequate for real-time logistics software, camera capture, and concurrent wireless connectivity without thermal throttling under normal conditions.
- 6GB or 8GB RAM with 128GB UFS Flash storage, expandable via microSD up to 2TB: The 6GB/128GB configuration suits standard line-of-business applications (inventory, route optimization, proof-of-delivery forms). The 8GB option and microSD expansion accommodate offline-first workflows, local caching of large datasets, and high-resolution photo libraries—particularly useful in low-signal areas where workers need to upload batches of documentation later.
- 5G cellular connectivity: Reduces latency compared to LTE in carrier-covered regions, enabling real-time GPS tracking, live video conferencing with dispatch, and instantaneous database lookups. 5G availability remains patchy in many rural and industrial areas; verify carrier coverage before relying on it as a core deployment assumption.
- Wi-Fi 6/6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.2: Wi-Fi 6E support on compatible networks delivers improved throughput and reduced interference in congested warehouse and logistics hub environments. Bluetooth 5.2 enables reliable pairing with scanners, printers, and wearables across longer distances (up to 240 meters in open space).
- 13MP rear and 8MP front cameras: Rear camera handles barcode scanning, damage documentation, and proof-of-condition photos. Front camera supports video conferencing and face-to-face remote assistance with back-office staff. Neither is optimized for low-light scanning; adequate illumination improves barcode read rates.
- IP65/IP68 ingress protection: IP65 guarantees protection against water jets and dust ingress; IP68 (when activated) extends water resistance to temporary submersion. Practical for outdoor delivery and rain-exposed warehouse environments, though not designed for sustained or deep-water exposure.
- MIL-STD-810H drop rating: Survives repeated drops onto concrete from 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) without display or structural failure. Real-world durability advantage over consumer phones in environments where devices are regularly dropped or knocked off shelves and trucks.
- 4,680 mAh safe-swap battery with wireless charging: Safe-swap design allows battery exchange without powering down the device, critical for long field shifts where device availability is measured in minutes. Wireless charging reduces wear on the USB connector but requires a compatible charger. Actual runtime depends heavily on display brightness and cellular usage; expect 8–12 hours under mixed use with 5G active.
- Android 13 with Google Mobile Services (GMS), upgradable to Android 18: Standard Android ecosystem means compatibility with mainstream logistics, delivery, and field service apps. The Android 18 upgrade path extends supported lifetime; confirm app dependencies before deploying on Android 13 initially, as some legacy line-of-business software may require vendor updates to run on newer OS versions.
- NFC and USB 3.2 Type-C: NFC enables contactless asset identification and contactless payment workflows if supported by back-office systems. USB 3.2 Type-C provides fast data transfer and charging compatibility with modern enterprise docking stations.
- Compact form factor: 327g (0.72 lb), 78.5 x 168 x 17.8mm: Lightweight enough for all-day carrying in a belt holster or vehicle mount without fatigue. Slim 17.8mm depth slides easily into cargo pockets or mounting brackets common in delivery vehicle cabs.
Integration & Compatibility
The Memor 35 integrates with standard Android deployment tools (Mobile Device Management via Google Cloud, Intune, or third-party MDM platforms) for fleet-wide provisioning and configuration. ONVIF and standard barcode-scanning APIs enable integration with enterprise logistics platforms, WMS systems, and proof-of-delivery software. Compatibility with existing Datalogic scanner peripherals and vehicle docking stations varies by model; verify connector type (USB Type-C) against your installed base before bulk deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the actual battery runtime under 5G?
A: Datalogic rates the 4,680 mAh battery for approximately 8–12 hours of mixed use. 5G cellular usage consumes significantly more power than Wi-Fi or LTE; enable battery saver mode and reduce display brightness in high-brightness environments to extend runtime. The safe-swap battery feature allows field teams to carry a spare and swap mid-shift without powering down.
Q: Does the Memor 35 support barcode scanning out of the box?
A: The 13MP rear camera supports barcode scanning via standard Android barcode-reading SDKs (e.g., Google ML Kit, Zebra EMDK). You'll need to deploy barcode-scanning software on the device; the hardware is capable, but the software stack is your responsibility or your logistics platform provider's.
Q: Is the Memor 35 IP68 rated, or only IP65?
A: The device meets both IP65 and IP68 standards. IP65 is the guaranteed rating for dust and water jets. IP68 protects against temporary immersion (details on depth and duration are in the full datasheet). For brief splash exposure during outdoor delivery, IP65 is sufficient; for regular water contact, IP68 provides additional assurance.
Q: Can I deploy this on LTE if 5G isn't available in my region?
A: Yes. The Memor 35 includes full LTE cellular modem fallback. 5G is available when in range, but the device operates normally on LTE, Wi-Fi, or both. 5G capability is an optional upgrade path, not a requirement for deployment.
Q: What's the warranty on the Memor 35 (944950006)?
A: Datalogic offers a standard 1-year limited hardware warranty on the device. Extended warranty and support plans are available; verify your regional distributor or integrator for coverage terms specific to your purchase.
Q: Can I customize or lock down the home screen and app access?
A: Yes, via Android Enterprise enrollment and Mobile Device Management (MDM). You can lock the home screen, restrict app installation, require authentication, and configure enterprise VPN. Detailed provisioning steps require MDM platform integration—confirm your MDM vendor supports Datalogic Memor 35 before procurement.
The Memor 35 (944950006) is a deliberate step up from earlier Memor generations, primarily via 5G connectivity and the expanded 6.0-inch Full HD+ display. For organizations evaluating enterprise mobile computer investments, the jump to 5G is meaningful in metropolitan and well-covered warehouse districts, offering reduced latency for real-time applications like live GPS tracking and remote video assistance. In rural or underserved regions, 5G adds cost without benefit—confirm regional carrier coverage before factoring 5G into your decision.
Technical Highlights:
- 6.0-inch Full HD+ display: Notably larger than many competitors' 5-inch offerings. This matters for data-entry workflows, barcode scanning, and proof-of-delivery form completion—eye strain reduction translates directly to task completion speed and accuracy during 10+ hour field shifts.
- Qualcomm QCM4490 processor with 6GB or 8GB RAM: The dual configuration provides flexibility. 6GB/128GB suits standard line-of-business apps (WMS, delivery routing, ERP sync). The 8GB option with microSD expansion (up to 2TB) supports offline caching of large datasets, high-resolution photo libraries, and advanced analytics—important for teams in low-signal areas who can't rely on continuous backend connectivity.
- 4,680 mAh safe-swap battery with wireless charging: The safe-swap feature is a practical advantage. In traditional smartphones, a dead battery ends the shift. Here, a field team carries a spare and swaps mid-shift without powering down. Wireless charging reduces USB connector wear, but you'll need compatible dock hardware (verify your current docking investment before deployment).
- MIL-STD-810H drop rating: Withstands repeated 1.5-meter drops onto concrete. Real differentiation from consumer phones in high-impact environments—warehouses, delivery vehicles, outdoor asset tracking. This isn't theoretical; MIL-STD testing is repeatable and documented.
- IP65/IP68 ingress protection: IP65 handles rain and splashes. IP68 covers temporary submersion. Both are meaningful for outdoor logistics, but neither is rated for sustained underwater use or high-pressure washdown. Suitable for delivery environments; not suitable for wash-down facilities.
Deployment Considerations:
- The Wi-Fi 6E and 5G capabilities are forward-looking, but your warehouse or logistics network infrastructure must support them. If you're still on Wi-Fi 5 and LTE, the Memor 35 falls back gracefully but you won't see the throughput benefits. Plan your infrastructure roadmap alongside device procurement.
- Barcode scanning relies on third-party software (Google ML Kit, Zebra EMDK, or proprietary logistics apps). The 13MP rear camera is capable, but you'll need to select and deploy your scanning stack before rolling out devices to the field.
- The safe-swap battery is a strength, but you must provision backup batteries and chargers alongside the device order. One spare per 2–3 devices is typical for an 8-hour shift; confirm your logistics team's shift length before finalizing spare battery counts.
- Android 13 is current at launch, with an upgrade path to Android 18. Verify app compatibility with your current software stack before procurement. Legacy line-of-business applications may require vendor updates to run on newer OS versions.
Best suited for last-mile delivery, field service dispatch, warehouse order picking, asset tracking, and fleet management operations where teams need real-time connectivity, barcode scanning, photo documentation, and all-day battery availability. Skip this device if you need specialized ruggedness (extreme temperature or chemicals)—consider a purpose-built industrial terminal instead. The Memor 35 is a mobile computer for field logistics, not a ruggedized handheld scanner replacement.
