Enterprise-class flexibility, interoperability and manageability
Zebra’s proven Android platform
With its common platform, the WS301 fits right in with all your Zebra mobile devices. You get the latest version of Android, plus support for future versions. And you can add features that turn Android into an enterprise-class operating system with Zebra’s Mobility Extensions (Mx).
Easy centralized management
Manage the WS301 with the same EMM you currently use to manage your other Zebra mobile devices. And with Zebra OEMConfig, your EMM can support every WS301 feature, the moment you take your device out of the box.
So little—but so easy to find
Find misplaced devices easily with Zebra Device Guardian.
Always in service with a removable battery
You never need to take the WS301 out of service for charging. With 10 hours of battery power, there’s no need for battery changes during a shift. And fast charging ensures fully charged batteries are always ready at the start of every shift.
Comprehensive enterprise-class features
Wear it your way
Clip it on a lapel, apron, shirt pocket or belt; or wear it on a wrist like a watch.
The miniature Android computer that’s virtually weightless
This wearable computer is barely three ounces in the clip or wristband, about two inches square and just over a half inch thin.
Voice-first interface
This little device is built from the ground up to be voice-driven. Users can speak naturally to wake the device, place a call, get a task, change the volume and much more. Two internal microphones with noise suppression and echo cancellation plus a speaker that faces up towards the user provide crystal clear voice quality.
Connect all of your disconnected frontline workers to take collaboration, productivity and customer service quality to the next level with the WS301—the world’s most compact enterprise-class Android mobile computer.

Customizable buttons for maximum ease of use
The PTT and volume buttons are on the same side, easily accessible with one finger. And buttons can perform application specific functions based on the screen that is displayed.
Designed for work
The rugged WS301 is drop-proof, tumble-proof and waterproof, able to handle 4 ft. drops, 1,000 tumbles, spilled coffee and more.
2 inch advanced AMOLED color display

Never miss a notification
With audio and vibration feedback, workers will always know whether data capture is successful, when a new text message or task arrives and more—even in noisy environments.
Simply tap to connect to peripherals
With Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC, workers can just tap to pair with headsets, printers and more.
