 Following is a list of Android devices with built-in barcode scanners that are tried and tested with COBI.wms, as well as information about a few devices that are explicitly not recommended due to known limitations.
+===== Zebra =====
+https://www.zebra.com/gb/en/products/mobile-computers/handheld.html
+Any Android device from Zebra that has a scanner which can be configured with the **DataWedge** app is supported by COBI.wms.  Refer to the [[DataWedge Settings]] for details on how to integrate the scanner with the app.
+The **TC21/TC26** is the smallest and most price-saving Android device that COBI.wms is known to work well with.  The 5-inch WVGA display (800x480) corresponds to the minimum resolution that is supported by COBI.wms.  The standard 3300 mAh battery lasts for a fair duration (advertised as 10h).  The optional 5260 mAh extended battery is advertised as running for 14h.  The battery can be replaced without tools.  The TC21 does not support a SIM card, whereas the TC26 does.
+The **TC52/TC57** is a more expensive device, but still offering a fair price/performance ratio.  The 5-inch HD display (1280x720) offers comfort while using the app, and the 4150 mAh battery lasts for a very long time (advertised as 14h).  The battery can be replaced without tools.  The TC52 does not support a SIM card, whereas the TC57 does.
+Other Zebra devices should work with COBI.wms just as well so long as they support configuring the barcode scanner via Zebra's DataWedge app.  For example, if you need a device with an extended scanning range (up to 20m), you might want to look into the **MC33xx** series.
 ===== Honeywell =====

 The **ScanPal EDA71** is essentially equivalent, just with a larger physical size.  The 7-inch display actually has the same resolution as the 5-inch display of the EDA51, meaning that while it's physically larger, the icons and text in the app will simply be stretched to fill the same area, so it won't fit more content on the screen.  As the larger screen drains more power, the duration of use is advertised only as 8h.

 ===== Scorpion (BRESSNER) =====
-The Scorpion series from BRESSNER Technology GmbH sadly cannot be configured for proper integration with the app.  The barcode scanner will only function like a keyboard, filling in a currently focused text field in the app; automatically reacting to a barcode scan event without first focusing a text field is not possible.
+The Scorpion series from BRESSNER Technology GmbH sadly cannot be configured for proper integration with the app.  The barcode scanner will only function like a keyboard, filling in the currently focused text field in the app with the code that was scanned.  In screens of the app where no text field is visible, nothing will happen upon scanning a barcode, whereas with other scanners the app can react intelligently to the scan event.
