There is a size below which a tablet stops being something staff carry and becomes something they put down. For most people that line sits between 9 and 11 inches.
The SUNMI CPad 8.7 is the size that stays in one hand through a full shift. This guide covers all five SKUs, when the compact size is the right call, and the accessories that make one-handed use actually work.
Rosper is the authorized SUNMI distributor in North America, stocking the CPad range across eight warehouses in the United States and Canada.
Key Takeaways
- Five SKUs at this size. From a 3 GB entry unit through an 8 GB flagship with a built-in scanner.
- Only one 8.7 inch SKU carries a scanner. P10020084, with the SS1111 2D module. It cannot be added later.
- NFC is not universal here. The Wi-Fi entry unit and one 4G unit do not include it.
- Wi-Fi 6E on every unit, including the entry tier, which helps in a venue with congested wireless.
- The hand strap and case are what make it a handheld. Budget them as part of the unit, not as an afterthought.
The Five SKUs
| SKU | Memory | Network | NFC | Fingerprint | Scanner | Adapter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P10020102 | 3 GB + 32 GB | Wi-Fi only | No | No | No | 10 W |
| P10020064 | 4 GB + 64 GB | Hyper Wi-Fi | Yes | No | No | PD 20 W |
| P10020103 | 4 GB + 64 GB | 4G | No | No | No | 9 V/2 A |
| P10020086 | 8 GB + 128 GB | 4G + eSIM | Yes | Yes | No | PD 20 W |
| P10020084 | 8 GB + 128 GB | 4G + eSIM | Yes | Yes | SS1111 2D | PD 20 W |
One extra detail worth having: P10020103 uses an 800 x 1340 IPS display on the SM6225 platform, and it is the 4G unit without NFC. If you want cellular and card reading together at this size, P10020086 is the SKU.
When the SUNMI CPad 8.7 Beats the 11 Inch
- Staff carry it while walking. Table-side ordering, floor service, ward rounds, warehouse aisles. Weight and one-hand grip decide comfort over a shift.
- The work is short interactions. A lookup, a status change, a signature. Screen real estate matters less than portability.
- Space is genuinely tight. A treatment room trolley, a service cart, a narrow counter.
- Cost per unit matters at fleet scale. The entry SKU at this size is the least expensive way to put a managed Android device in every pair of hands.
Go up to 11 inch when the customer has to read the screen too, when the application shows a dense grid, or when the device spends most of its life on a counter. Our CPad configuration guide compares all thirteen SKUs across the three sizes.
Deployment Patterns That Fit This Size
| Environment | Suggested SKU | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant table-side ordering | P10020064 | Hyper Wi-Fi across a dining room, NFC for loyalty tags |
| Stock counts and receiving | P10020084 | The only 8.7 inch with a built-in 2D scan head |
| Salon, spa, and wellness check-in | P10020064 | Compact at a reception desk, card and tag reading on the same device |
| Clinic and dental intake | P10020086 | Cellular fallback, fingerprint for staff identification |
| Mobile service and route work | P10020086 | 4G with eSIM so the device works away from any building |
| Single purpose kiosk-style lookup | P10020102 | Entry tier where no card reading is required |
Accessories That Matter at This Size
| SKU | Accessory | Note |
|---|---|---|
| C20000115 | Protective Case, 8.7 inch | Standard units |
| C20000113 | Protective Case, scanner version | Fits P10020084 only |
| C20000092 | Hand Strap | The part that makes one-handed use sustainable |
| C14004120 | Desktop Base | Turns it into a counter unit between rounds |
| C20000108 | Multi-function Rotating Base | Customer-facing when needed |
The case for the scanner version is a different part number from the standard case. Ordering the wrong one is a common and avoidable delay, because the scan head changes the body profile.
What Is Shared With the Rest of the Range
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| OS | Android with GMS-EDLA preinstalled |
| Front camera | 5 MP fixed focus |
| Wi-Fi | 802.11 ax/a/b/g/n/ac, 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Wi-Fi 6E |
| Bluetooth | BT 5.3 |
| Ports | 2 x Type-C 2.0, 8 pin and 6 pin POGO |
| Speakers | 1 W x 2 |
| Microphones | 2 |
| Extras | Indicator light and vibration motor across the range |
| In the box | Silicone cover as standard. Scanner versions ship with a hard case |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many SUNMI CPad 8.7 models are there?
Five host SKUs, separated by memory tier and by the network, NFC, and scanner combination. They range from a 3 GB Wi-Fi entry unit to an 8 GB flagship with cellular and a built-in scanner.
Which CPad 8.7 has a barcode scanner?
P10020084, with the SS1111 2D module. It is the only 8.7 inch SKU with a built-in scan head, and the scanner cannot be added after purchase.
Do all CPad 8.7 models have NFC?
No. The Wi-Fi entry SKU and one of the 4G SKUs do not include NFC. If the device has to read a card or a membership tag, specify a part number that lists it.
Is the CPad 8.7 suitable for a full shift in one hand?
That is the size’s purpose. Pair it with the hand strap and the correct protective case, which are separate part numbers and should be budgeted with the unit rather than added later.
Can the CPad 8.7 work without Wi-Fi?
Yes, on the cellular SKUs. P10020103 offers 4G, and P10020086 and P10020084 offer 4G with eSIM, which avoids a physical SIM swap on every device in a fleet.
