The Zebra VC8300 is an ultra-rugged Android vehicle-mount computer for forklifts, reach trucks, cranes and yard vehicles – built for warehouses, cold stores, loading docks and outdoor yards. It combines a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor, 4 GB RAM / 32 GB Flash, Wi-Fi 5 with 2x2 MU-MIMO, Bluetooth 5.0 and IP66 sealing with a heated internal UPS battery, a 10–60 V DC isolated power supply and pre-licensed Ivanti Velocity terminal emulation, so existing green-screen apps run right out of the box. This version, VC83-08SOCQBAABA-I, has an 8" 1,000-nit outdoor-readable touchscreen (1280 × 720, capacitive) and an integrated, backlit 67-key QWERTY keyboard.

Key Features
- Android migration made simple – Ivanti Velocity is pre-installed and pre-licensed, so terminal emulation (TE) apps run unchanged; All-touch TE turns green screens into touch-friendly Android screens without coding.

- Built for extremes – operates from −30 °C to 50 °C, IP66 sealed against dust and water jets, tested to IEC 60721-3-5M3 and MIL-STD-810 for shock and vibration; choose the freezer model for condensing cold-store use.
