Handheld scanner comparison – legacy scanners vs. smartphones
That’s why smartphone scanners are the future of mobile Barcode Scanning
Smartphones are swiftly becoming the default barcode scanners in numerous industries. Apps and websites with an integrated Barcode Scanner SDK deliver maximum precision, speed, and flexibility at a minimum total cost of ownership (TCO).
Everything you need for mobile barcode scanning in just one smartphone
Battery life
Modern mobile devices have plenty of power to last the day. They commonly offer battery capacities of over 4000 mAh, with high-end models even reaching 6000 mAh. On top of that, Barcode Scanning SDKs are optimized for low energy usage.
Speed
Current smartphones always have several CPU cores, each running at 2.6 GHz on average, ensuring a fast, friction-free scanning experience for users.
Data protection
Regular security updates, remote data wiping, options for separating business and private use, and reliable data encryption are must-haves and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
Ruggedness
IP and MIL-STD ratings indicate the robustness of a smartphone. Many standard models are water- and shock-proof, and tough shell cases offer additional protection.
Performance
The Scanbot SDK allows smartphones to match and often exceed the accuracy and scanning speed of dedicated handheld scanners, delivering scanning results with an average accuracy of 98.7% within a fraction of a second.
