Datalogic Falcon X60/X65 – New Ultra-Rugged Android Mobile Computer
If your operation runs hard — multiple shifts, cold storage, outdoor loading docks, forklift aisles — your mobile computers need to keep up. Datalogic’s Falcon X60/X65 is engineered from the ground up for exactly that environment, and brings several genuinely notable advancements to the rugged handheld market.
What’s New & Notable
A significant step forward in scanning range and speed
The headline feature is Datalogic’s new XLR (Extra-Long Range) imager, which reads barcodes at distances up to 20 meters. Combined with the patented Green Spot™ technology — a visible confirmation dot projected directly onto the label — operators get instant, eyes-on confirmation without looking down at their device. The Green Spot is visible up to 10 meters on the XLR imager, which is a meaningful improvement for high-bay warehouse environments.
The TrueAim™ two-stage trigger adds precision targeting to reduce misreads before they happen — a small ergonomic detail that adds up to real efficiency gains across a full shift.
Key feature highlights:

- XLR imager reads barcodes up to 20 meters; Green Spot™ visible confirmation up to 10 meters
- TrueAim™ two-stage trigger for precision targeting and fewer misreads
- Wi-Fi 6/6E with WPA3 Enterprise security on both models
- 5G cellular, GPS/GNSS, and eSIM on the X65 for outdoor and multi-site operations
- Qualcomm QCx4490 Octa-Core 2.4 GHz processor with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage
- Android 15 GMS with a committed upgrade path to Android 19
Connectivity is another major upgrade. Both models support Wi-Fi 6/6E with WPA3 Enterprise security. The X65 adds 5G cellular (including private network and CBRS support), GPS/GNSS, and an eSIM slot — making it the stronger choice for operations that span indoor and outdoor environments or require cellular backup.
Backward compatibility worth noting
The Falcon X60/X65 is fully compatible with existing Skorpio X5 docks and accessories — both contact and wireless charging variants. For operations already invested in that infrastructure, upgrading devices doesn’t mean replacing cradles.
Model Comparison – Two models, one platform
The Falcon X60 and X65 models share the same processor, display, OS, keyboard options, battery, and ruggedization. The X65 adds 5G cellular, GPS/GNSS, a barometric pressure sensor, and an eSIM slot for operations that need cellular connectivity or location awareness.

Where It Fits – Strong applications across several verticals
The Falcon X60/X65 is a natural fit across several demanding industries:
Warehousing & Distribution
Receiving, putaway, picking, shipping, and work order management. The XLR imager handles high-bay racking without requiring operators to physically approach every scan point.
Transportation & Logistics
Truck loading and unloading, forklift operations, baggage management, and returns. The 5G-capable X65 is well-suited for yard management and outdoor dock use.
Manufacturing
Intralogistics, kitting, quality control, and traceability. The field-detachable handle supports both handheld and pistol-grip configurations for different task types on the floor.
Healthcare Warehousing
Receiving, inventory management, order fulfillment, and batch tracking in clinical supply chains where chemical resistance and reliability are non-negotiable.
