Honeywell ScanPal EDA56 handheld mobile computer 5.5 inch 1440x720

The Honeywell ScanPal EDA56 WLAN is a Wi‑Fi 6 mobile computer with a 5.5" touchscreen (1440 x 720) designed for indoor use in retail, manufacturing, logistics and public service environments. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon octa‑core 2.0 GHz processor, runs Android 11 (upgradeable to Android 13), and offers robust wireless connectivity including Wi‑Fi 6, NFC and Bluetooth 5.1. The device includes a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera, 6 GB RAM and 128 GB flash storage, and a removable 4500 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support. The EDA56 features an IP67‑rated rugged housing and a 5.5" Gorilla Glass display for reliable operation in demanding conditions.

Advantages

The ScanPal EDA56 delivers higher data rates and lower latency in dense wireless environments thanks to Wi‑Fi 6 and OFDMA support, while offering backward compatibility with accessories for the ScanPal EDA52 to reduce total cost of ownership. The device uses the Honeywell S0703 scan engine for fast decoding of damaged or partial barcodes, and Honeywell software options (Operational Intelligence, Smart Talk) provide operational insights, workflow automation and unified enterprise communications. Its lightweight ergonomic design enables one‑hand use and comfortable all‑day operation.
