The most common mistake when buying a SUNMI CPad in the US is reading the SKU name as a spec. “CPad 11 Tablet 4G” does not mean cellular. It means four gigabytes of RAM. Once that is out of the way the range is straightforward: three sizes, three memory tiers, and two SKUs with a scanner.
Key takeaways
- In these SKU names, 4G means 4 GB of RAM, not a cellular radio. Confirm connectivity separately.
- Three sizes: 8.7 inch, 11 inch and 14 inch, and they serve genuinely different jobs.
- Only two SKUs carry a built-in scanner: P10020084 and P10020044.
- P10020072 is supplied without NFC. Check that line if you are buying 14 inch units.
- The 3 GB and 4 GB tiers are the volume SKUs and normally the fastest to ship.
Start with the size, because it decides the job
| Size | What it is for | Who carries it |
|---|---|---|
| 8.7 inch | One-handed work, queue busting, line-side lookups | Carried for a full shift |
| 11 inch | General purpose ordering and service | Carried or docked, depending on the site |
| 14 inch | Counter-facing display and self-service | Stays on the counter |
The 8.7 is the only size most people will happily hold all day. The 14 is not a tablet anyone carries, it is a screen you mount or stand. Choosing the size before the memory tier avoids the common outcome of a well specified device nobody wants to pick up.
Then the memory tier, and be honest about the workload
The range runs 3 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB. The 3 GB and 4 GB tiers cover most single-application deployments and are the ones normally held in stock.
The 8 GB tier is the right call when the device carries several applications at once, or when it also runs a management agent and a browser alongside the main app. It is also where the scanner builds live, which sometimes settles the question for you.
The scanner question is a two-SKU shortlist
Across the whole CPad range, exactly two SKUs carry a built-in scan engine: P10020084 at 8.7 inch and P10020044 at 11 inch. Both are on the 8 GB tier.
Everything else scans with the camera, which is fine for occasional lookups and slow for anything repetitive. If scanning is part of every transaction, your choice is one of those two, and the size decision collapses to 8.7 or 11.
For the full SKU-by-SKU breakdown by size, memory, network and scanner, the CPad configuration guide lists all thirteen.
One SKU ships without NFC
P10020072 is a 14 inch 4 GB and 64 GB build supplied without NFC. That is not a fault, it is a configuration, and it is cheaper for a reason.
It suits a pure display or ordering screen. It is the wrong order if anything about the workflow involves a tap, whether that is a payment, a loyalty card or a staff badge. Check this specifically when quoting 14 inch units, because it is the one line where the difference does not show up in the size or memory.
CPad or CPad PAY
If the device itself has to read a card, you are looking at the wrong line. The CPad is a commercial Android tablet. The CPad PAY is the payment build, with the card-reading hardware and certification that go with it.
Plenty of deployments use a CPad for ordering and a separate certified terminal for payment. That is a legitimate design. Just decide it deliberately rather than discovering it after the tablets land.
Buying a SUNMI CPad in the US: what to expect
- Pick the size from who holds the device and for how long.
- Pick the memory tier from how many applications run at once.
- Decide whether scanning is a loop or an exception.
- Confirm NFC is required, and check it against the specific SKU.
- We confirm stock and lead time before quoting. Most orders arrive in 2 to 7 business days from seven US warehouses.

Frequently asked questions
Does “CPad 11 Tablet 4G” mean it has cellular?
No, and this catches people out regularly. In these SKU names the figure refers to the memory tier, so 4G means 4 GB of RAM. Confirm connectivity separately rather than reading it off the product name.
What sizes does the CPad come in?
Three: 8.7 inch, 11 inch and 14 inch. The 8.7 is the one-handed size, the 11 is the general purpose middle, and the 14 is a counter-facing screen rather than something anyone carries for a shift.
Which CPad SKUs have a built-in barcode scanner?
Two in the whole range: P10020084 at 8.7 inch and P10020044 at 11 inch, both on the 8 GB tier. Every other SKU scans with the camera. If scanning is part of the workflow rather than an exception, that pair is your shortlist.
Is there a CPad without NFC?
Yes. P10020072 is a 14 inch 4 GB and 64 GB build supplied without NFC. It is fine for a display or ordering screen and wrong for anything that needs a tap. Check this line specifically if you are buying 14 inch units.
Which SKUs ship quickly in the US?
The 3 GB and 4 GB tiers at 8.7 and 11 inch are the volume SKUs and are normally held in stock, along with both mainstream 14 inch builds. Some 8 GB variants carry longer lead times. Availability is confirmed on the quote.
How does the CPad differ from the CPad PAY?
The CPad is a commercial Android tablet. The CPad PAY is the payment build with the card-reading hardware and the certifications that go with it. If the device has to take a card itself, you are looking at the PAY line, not this one.
How fast does it ship and what warranty applies?
Most orders arrive in 2 to 7 business days from the nearest of seven US warehouses. SUNMI provides a three-year warranty on third-generation devices and Rosper assists with claims, coordinating them from within North America.
