Winmate FM14Q-V 14″ IP65 Android Vehicle Mount Computer with Snapdragon 660 and Bonded FHD Display

Android apps designed for tablets often assume a widescreen, and squeezing them onto a small 4:3 vehicle display wastes much of the layout. The FM14Q-V is Winmate’s 14 inch Android vehicle computer, running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 behind an optically bonded 1920 x 1080 display.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 is an octa-core processor running at up to 2.2 GHz under Android 9.0, which suits fleets that already run Android scanning, picking and delivery apps on handhelds. It carries 3 GB of memory and 32 GB of storage with a microSD slot for maps, logs and offline data. The 14 inch widescreen display runs at 1920 x 1080 with 700 nits and 800:1 contrast, and Winmate optically bonds it for sunlight viewability, which helps at loading docks and in open yards. Projected capacitive multi-touch handles the input, with four programmable function keys for common tasks.

I/O covers a Gigabit LAN port that can be specified as a 30 W IEEE 802.3at PSE to power a camera, USB Type-C and USB 2.0 ports, and two RS-232/422/485 ports on DB9 with 5 V on pin 9 for serial scanners, with CANBus and two-in, two-out DIDO as options. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, with 4G/LTE on a dual nano-SIM slot and GPS/GLONASS as options. The FM14E-V is the Windows version on an Intel Atom, and the FM12Q-V runs the same Android build on a 12.1 inch 4:3 screen.

Power is 10 to 60 V DC with ignition control, covering 12, 24 and 48 V vehicle supplies. An optional 400 mAh UPS battery keeps the computer running for 20 minutes when the vehicle supply drops out. The IP65 waterproof and dustproof enclosure measures 342 x 225 x 52 mm, weighs 2.5 kg and fits RAM or VESA mounts. It operates from -30 to 50 °C at 5 to 95% humidity, is compliant with MIL-STD-810H Methods 516.8 and 514.8, and carries an IK07 impact rating. The unit carries CE and FCC marks, with UL60950-1, EN60950-1, PTCRB and IC (ICES-003) listed.
