No Scan, No Clerk, No Problem: Kroger Introduces “Scan, Bag, Go” Accelerated Checkout | Rugged Smart Phone

It’s probably too early to write off Windows 10 on ARM as a failed venture. There are certainly some limitations, but increased competition in the chip space is a good thing. I look forward to the day when Qualcomm or other chip makers start to offer a Windows-compatible solution that’s competitive with the latest offerings from Intel and AMD. Unfortunately, based on my experience with the Asus NovaGo, it doesn’t seem like the Snapdragon 835 is that chip.

For a little over £200 (or $260), this is a great piece of technology that gives you most of what a much more expensive device can offer, and a few things they often can’t.

It looks kind of like a toy, but it doesn’t feel like one. The rubberized plastic, textured back, and shock-absorbing corners are comfortable to hold and feel secure. It isn’t even a bit slippery! I wasn’t as worried about dropping it (never did), and its IP68 certification means exposing it to the elements shouldn’t be an issue either.

Moving on to the insides of the Ulefone Armor 6. The smartphone is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 SoC, a eight-core design with quad A73 and quad A53 Arm cores as well as Aem’s Mali-G72MP3 GPU. The SoC is paired with 6 GB of DRAM and 128 GB of NAND flash storage. Many recent ruggedized smartphones have been based on cheaper SoCs with low-power Cortex-A53 CPU cores, so the Armor 6 is notable for its performance potential. As it appears, Ulefone decided not to cut corners and used a relatively high-performance SoC with Cortex-A73 cores in order to ensure that owners of the handset can use all applications they need to with a comfortable level of performance.

The dynaEdge PC can also be used as a traditional Windows 10 Pro desktop by connecting it to a standard display.

“Sensors have been able to do this for years, it’s just that now it’s becoming part of the larger data exchange,” Sellars says. “I hear customers say, ‘We don’t use Industry 4.0.’ Yeah, you do. You’re already right in the thick of it. You might not be doing everything you could with it, but it’s there.”
