Windows 10 Mobile may have limited presence in the consumer market, but the platform still looks appealing to businesses. To further cater to the needs of companies who conduct their retail transactions through Windows 10 Mobile devices, HP is adding a mobile barcode scanner to the company’s flagship device Elite x3. The retail-focused accessory will come as part of a specialized package.

The bundle is accessible via HP’s 6-inch mobile solution section for the Elite x3, where you can see the phone’s specs and other features. The section has now added a description for the barcode scanner:

Enable optimal customer experiences, associate productivity, and manager agility with the HP Elite x3 Mobile Retail Solution, a Windows handheld and barcode scanner that switches to a full PC.

HP also describes the interface between the scanner and the phone as “full speed USB between HP Elite x3 and Elite x3 Barcode Scanner & Jacket through Pogo Pins.” The accessory can also decode standard 1D, PDF, 2D, and Postal symbologies.

Other features of the HP Elite x3 Mobile Retail Solution:
