Choose the K20 if
- The terminal stays inside your shop, warehouse, stockroom or clinic, where Wi-Fi covers every corner
- You don't want to manage SIM cards and data plans for every device
- Staff count stock, pick orders, receive goods or check prices
Choose the K25 if
- Drivers, field sales or service staff work away from your Wi-Fi
- You need location data, for example for proof of delivery or route tracking
- Your apps must stay online in yards, car parks or sites with patchy Wi-Fi

What is the same on both
Setup, scanning and settings are identical, so one set of instructions covers your whole fleet: see the Memor K20 and K25 setup guide and troubleshooting. Both run Datalogic's software tools, including Scan2Deploy Studio for configuration by barcode, OEMConfig for device management systems and Datalogic Launcher for locking the terminal to your apps.
On both models the push-to-talk side key can be set up for walkie-talkie apps such as Zello, and the keypad, triggers and scanner use the same Datalogic Settings menus.
Accessories fit both models
Datalogic lists every Memor K20-K25 accessory for both terminals, so you can mix models in one fleet:
- Single Slot Dock (94A150137), which needs a power supply and USB-C cable
- 4,850 mAh battery (94ACC0420) and the 4-Slot Multi-battery Charger (94ACC0419)
- Protective boot (94ACC0418), belt holster (94ACC0312), hand straps and screen protectors
- USB-C to USB-A cable (94A050044) and power supply (94ACC0383)
The terminals are in our shop as the Memor K20 and the Memor K25. Neither ships with a charger, so order a power supply and cable or a dock with each unit. More guides: Memor K20 · Memor K25.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Datalogic Memor K20 and K25?
Only the mobile network. The K25 adds 4G data, a nano SIM slot and GPS. Everything else, including the keypad, screen, scanner and battery, is the same.
Does the Memor K20 have 4G?
No. The K20 is Wi-Fi only. Choose the K25 if you need mobile data.
Can the Memor K25 make phone calls?
Datalogic specifies the K25's 4G as data only, so it is not designed for regular mobile phone calls.
Do the Memor K20 and K25 use the same dock and battery?
Yes. Datalogic lists the Single Slot Dock, the 4,850 mAh battery, the 4-slot charger and the protective boot for both models.
