Elo, a global leader in Android-powered interactive devices, has unveiled its latest offering, the powerful M51 Rugged Mobile Computer. This compact handheld computer features a 6-inch, full HD touchscreen, and Android 14 OS, transforming all automated processes from inventory management to ticketing.
The M51 Rugged Mobile Computer, the latest addition to Elo’s ever-growing range of Android-powered products, offers Elo’s renowned reliability and performance in a durable, handheld design.
The 6-inch, high-definition touch display offers excellent visibility indoors and outdoors, allowing the device to be utilized across a range of service industries. The chemically strengthened glass ensures maximum durability, contributing to its MIL-STD-810G rating.

The all-new device comes with integrated NFC and an optional 2D barcode scanner to maximize functionality, ensuring it can be used for everything from inventory management and BOPIS to table service and ticketing. Suitable for use throughout the day, the device features up to 12 hours of battery life with a swappable 4,520 mAh battery to ensure around-the-clock performance. The M51 Rugged Mobile Computer includes an integrated 13 MP auto-focus rear camera and an 8 MP fixed-focal-length front camera, and is compatible with WiFi 6E, 5G LTE, and Bluetooth 5.2.
Elo’s unified architecture simplifies IT integration for organizations using both fixed and mobile Android hardware by providing a consistent, reliable foundation across all devices—from handhelds to 65-inch interactive displays. By leveraging a common set of device drivers and APIs, this architecture enables seamless deployment and management, reducing complexity and ensuring a more efficient and streamlining technology integration across the enterprise.
As with all of Elo’s touchscreen devices, the M51 offers a host of compatible accessories, allowing businesses to tailor the device to their needs. Available options include a four-unit battery charger, four-unit device charger, single unit dock, rubber boot, hip-clip holster, hand strap, lanyard connector, trigger-equipped scan handle, and PTT USB-C headset.
Thanks to EloView, customers will also be able to manage their devices easily. Businesses can access up-to-date battery statistics across their fleet and provision devices in seconds thanks to the seamless out-of-the-box experience. EloView is fully remote, ensuring businesses can deploy and securely manage their devices anywhere in the world.
