Tablet based POS systems
If your POS runs as an Android app, the HP525 gives it a fixed counter housing with a camera arm. The I8 is a self-service checkout format offered in sizes from 15.6 to 32 inch.
Specify these in your inquiry
- Windows or Android, and the version.
- Peripherals: receipt printer width, scanner, customer display, cash drawer port.
- RAM and storage tier.
- Housing color and logo.
Choosing between the I8 and HP525 for your android pos system
The page data lists two android pos terminals that suit different checkout flows. The HP525 is a fixed counter unit. A 10.1 inch 16:10 screen, RK3568 chipset, Android. It ships with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, which is enough for a focused POS app that doesn't run many background services. The camera arm makes it a natural fit for QR scanning or customer-facing capture at the register.
The I8 is a self-service format. The base model has a 15.6 inch screen, and options go up to 32 inch if you need a larger self-ordering or information kiosk. The listed CPU is a 1.7GHz dual core. The OS column shows Android or Windows 10, so your software stack decides the build. RAM and storage are 8GB and 128GB, giving headroom for richer UIs and offline caching.
If your app is tablet-first, start with the HP525. Deploying unattended ordering or checkout? The I8 is the safer mechanical choice. Both are built for OEM branding. We can silk print your logo, change the boot animation, and preload your APK before the units leave Shenzhen.
What to specify in your RFQ for these Android POS terminals
Send us your app requirements early. For both models, we need the Android version your APK targets. The HP525 runs Android on RK3568, and the I8 can ship with Android or Windows 10. Does your software expect Google Mobile Services? That's common for fixed-function POS hardware.
- Peripherals: receipt printer width, scanner type, customer display, cash drawer port. These are per order on our POS line, not standard.
- RAM and storage: the HP525 is listed at 2GB/16GB. Need 4GB/32GB? Ask. The I8 comes in at 8GB/128GB; confirm whether that's a minimum or a baseline for you.
- Housing color and logo: we can match a Pantone, add a metal badge, and ship in your color box with your manual.
A buyer who spells out the app package name, expected transaction volume per terminal, and the peripheral list gets a faster, more accurate quote. We answer RFQs within 24 hours.
Integration limits and the tablet based pos system boundary
We don't guarantee PCI or EMV certification on our hardware. Your payment app and its certified reader handle that. Our terminals supply the Android environment, display, and I/O ports. The card reader and payment software? That's your stack. Need a specific reader built into the housing? Mention it in the RFQ-we'll check mechanical fit.
These are information and transaction terminals. Not medical devices. Our medical tablets are separate products with their own constraints. A POS in a hospital cafeteria or clinic? The HP525 or I8 works as a general-purpose Android terminal. But don't claim medical certification from us.
Bigger deployments where the POS also drives a customer-facing display? See our dual-screen POS terminals. A unit that sits in a manager's office? Our commercial Android tablets might fit better than a dedicated POS housing.
