Elo Introduces M50 Android-Powered Mobile Computer

The rugged M50 handheld computer, launching Elo’s fourth-generation Android-powered device portfolio, increases employee efficiency with the ability to scan, capture and collaborate on the go.

Milpitas, Calif. — January 12, 2021 — Elo, a leading global provider of Android-powered interactive devices, today announced the Elo M50 mobile computer. The new M50 joins Elo’s robust portfolio of Android-based devices used by world-class retail, restaurant brands and manufacturers around the globe for applications from POS and self-order to endless aisle and automation.

The rugged handheld computer boasts a 5.5-inch HD touch display, integrated 8 MP Camera, 2D barcode scanner and NFC and is powered by Android 10 and Google Mobile Services (GMS). Seamless integration, effortless provisioning and simplified device management for the M50 is possible via EloView® or a 3rd-party device-management platform. From buy-online-and-pick-up-in-store and inventory management to pick-and-pack fulfilment, table service and clinical communication, the Elo M50 enhances productivity in retail, hospitality, industrial and healthcare environments.

Elo’s M50 design is backed by six years of enterprise-focused Android development and leadership. For essential durability, the new M50 features Corning Gorilla Glass, MIL-STD-810G drop specification and an IP-65 rating for water and dust ingress protection.

We’re excited to welcome the powerful M50 mobile computer to our portfolio of world-class products, giving customers around the globe access to Google Mobile Services apps and tools to increase productivity throughout their workflows, said Craig Witsoe, CEO at Elo.
