Pros and Cons of Datalogic Skorpio X5
The Datalogic Skorpio X5 is one of our favorite devices, but like all devices, it has its moments where it shines brightest and it also has its setbacks.
The Pros are the Android OS, extreme ruggedness, powerful processor, and an incredibly competitive pricing structure. Additionally, its “green spot” scanner is considered at the very top of the industry. The 1D/2D scanner on this device is, without a doubt, a major headline.
The cons are that there are cheaper alternatives (although none are very good at all), it is a little heavier than the average scanner, and there is a learning curve to understanding how the device works (which is commonplace with all advanced scanners). Additionally, it doesn’t work with Windows OS.
Display, Cameras, and Scanners
The Skorpio X5 has the largest multi-touch display on the PDT market. Its 6-point multi-touch capacitive panel hardened Gorilla Glass 3, and 4.3-inch touchscreen offer a clear, sharp, and vivid image in multiple viewing conditions and angles. With just enough space for most applications, your workforce will easily manipulate this gadget.
This device doesn’t include cameras (neither rear nor front), so it’s not meant to take images or videos. However, users can still take pictures using the model’s in-built scan engine.
You can get a Skorpio X5 in numerous scanning setups. A 1D imager can auto-detect all standard 1D codes, while the 2D imager captures your 2D codes. There are also mid-range 2D imagers with advanced features and extra-long range (XLR) solutions. The X5 is the most advanced and can read codes at distances up to 20 meters or 65 feet. For example, if you’re a picker on a forklift, you can remain in your seat while performing warehouse operations. This possibility makes warehouse management far less demanding and faster.
The images allow the reading of barcodes in any condition, regardless of the label’s state. The barcode can be scratched or damaged, located under a plastic wrap, or 13 centimeters to 20 meters from you, and the Skorpio X5 super-fast scanning engine will capture it for you.
The Datalogic has added a “good read” green spot feedback on the code to simplify the scanning process. If your code has this green dot, your shot succeeded.
Operation System and Programs
The Skorpio X5 runs on an Android 10 operating system. It is part of the Android Enterprise Recommended program, which fulfills Google’s requirements regarding hardware, support, and software.
Regarding the CPU, the latest hardware was built using the industry-first Qualcomm SDA 660 system-on-chip. The processor has eight cores and 2.2 GHz. You can run intensive apps without glitches and multitask using multiple applications simultaneously with zero lag.
The device also leverages Google Mobile Services (GMS), which open doors to a range of Google Enterprise APIs for deployment and security. Some of the built-in programs in the Skorpio X5 include:
- Waveling Terminal Emulation – Access and manage connections to applications.
- Pal Communicator – Manage data transfer from one computer to another.
- Wavelink Avalanche – Take care of mission-critical deployments across your rugged computers.
- SOTI cloud environment – A mobility management solution based on the cloud.
- Surelock – Ensures industry-grade protection and security for your Skorpio device at all times.
Users can also download any app from the Google Play Store or have their developers create a fully customized app for their business on the Android platform.

Together with my team, we organized a short training to explain to everyone how to use the device. After two weeks, everyone has gotten so used to these computers that they can’t imagine working without them. Success!”
“I’m amazed by how powerful Skorpio X5 is. It handles multiple operations at once and has not lagged once in more than six months of active use. We regularly use the extended battery because of the long shifts, and the battery hasn’t failed us once. I use the mid-range 2D imager version and am mind-blown by the accuracy and readability when scanning old and dusty labels. Overall, this device is well worth the investment, and I highly recommend it for warehouse and transportation applications.”
“Skorpio X5 XLR is one of those upgrades you only buy once in a blue moon and hope they turn out well. We use Skorpio in healthcare and couldn’t be happier with it. I’m grateful for the special software that makes patient management and data capturing a breeze. We no longer have to use separate devices to scan data, store it, and expand on it. I recommend the Skorpio X5 XLR to all healthcare providers who need a reliable device to streamline their daily operations.”
