COMING SOON BASE MODEL IN STOCK
PAX A6650 5G: The World's First 5G SmartPOS
The headline release. According to PAX, the A6650 5G brings the world's first high-speed 5G and WiFi 6 connectivity to a SmartPOS device — an upgrade to the popular PAX A6650 PDA-payment hybrid, which we stock today.
| Display | 6.7" multi-touch |
| OS | Android 14 |
| Processor | Qualcomm 4nm 8-core, 2.4GHz |
| Memory | 6GB RAM / 128GB storage |
| Durability | IP67 waterproof · 1.8m drop protection |
| Battery | Hot-swappable dual battery |
| Connectivity | 5G · WiFi 6 |
Who it's for: delivery fleets, curbside pickup, line-busting retail, and field services. The hot-swappable dual battery means the device never goes offline to charge — a real differentiator for all-day mobile operations.
COMING SOON
PAX A360 & A380: Next-Generation Retail PIN Pads
PAX's new PIN pad pair targets multilane retail — grocery, big box, convenience — where uptime and compliance matter most.
| OS | Android 14 |
| Processor | Qualcomm 8-core |
| Security | PCI PTS 6 certified |
| Connectivity | Dual ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) |
| Protection | 15kV/18kV ESD · IP53 rated |
| Accessibility | ADA compliant |
Who it's for: ISOs serving multilane retail. PoE means one cable for power and data — cleaner installs, fewer failure points, lower cost per lane. PCI PTS 6 future-proofs compliance as PTS 3.x and 4.x devices age out.
COMING SOON
PAX M11: Industrial Payment Tablet
A new category for PAX — an 11" industrial tablet with a dedicated 3.5" payment touchscreen. The operator works the big screen while the customer taps or dips on their own display.
| Displays | 11" main + 3.5" payment touchscreen |
| OS | Android 15 |
| Processor | MediaTek 8-core |
| Durability | IP65 rated · 15kV/18kV ESD |
| Scanner | Professional-grade integrated |
| Battery | 10,000mAh hot-swappable |
Who it's for: warehouses, ticketing, mobile ordering, and inventory-plus-payment workflows — anywhere a merchant currently juggles a tablet, a scanner, and a separate card reader. The M11 collapses all three into one rugged device.
COMING SOON
PAX A6630: Scanner-First Mobile Terminal
The A6630 slots below the A6650 as a value-focused mobile terminal with a forward-facing 2D imager built for scan-heavy workflows.
| Display | 6.5" multi-touch |
| OS | Android 12 |
| Processor | MediaTek quad-core |
| Scanner | Forward-facing 2D imager |
| Durability | 1.5m drop protection |
| Battery | 10+ hours |
Who it's for: retail floor associates, stockroom-to-register workflows, and delivery routes where scanning happens more often than payment.
COMING SOON PAX'S FIRST WINDOWS DEVICE
PAX Elys Station Pro Max (L1620): Dual-OS Workstation
The most strategically interesting release. The Elys Station Pro Max is a 16" POS workstation running both Windows and Android 14 on Qualcomm 8-core Windows-on-ARM architecture — the first Windows platform in PAX's portfolio.
| Display | 16" |
| OS | Windows + Android 14 (dual-OS) |
| Processor | Qualcomm 8-core, Windows-on-ARM |
| Category | POS workstation |
Why it matters: a massive installed base of restaurant and retail POS software still runs on Windows. A dual-OS workstation lets ISOs deploy PAX hardware into Windows-dependent environments today, then transition merchants to Android-native software on the same device later — no hardware swap.

What This Roadmap Signals for ISOs
- PCI PTS 6 is the new baseline. Start planning refresh cycles for merchants on aging PTS 3.x/4.x hardware.
- Connectivity is the differentiator. 5G, WiFi 6, and PoE mean fewer connectivity support calls — the #1 driver of terminal service tickets.
- Windows compatibility opens locked doors. Windows-dependent merchants stop being a dead end for PAX deployments.
- Hot-swappable batteries are becoming standard. A strong upgrade pitch for mobile-heavy merchants.
