Honeywell CK65 end-of-life: what it means for your fleet
End-of-life means Honeywell has stopped manufacturing new CK65 units and is winding down official support. It doesn't mean your existing devices stop working — but it does mean no new-from-factory units, and support/firmware updates will eventually stop. If your operation is certified on CK65-specific hardware or software, this is the point to start planning a migration timeline rather than reacting once a device fails.
CK65 vs CK67: what actually changed
The CK67 isn't a minor refresh — it's a real generational jump. A faster QCM4490 processor and doubled RAM (8GB vs. 4GB) support more demanding scanning and inventory apps. The longer Android support window (through Android 14–18, vs. the CK65's cap at Android 11) matters most for IT teams planning multi-year deployments, since it pushes the next forced-migration date years further out. Added 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity also matter if your warehouse or DC is scaling up real-time data usage.
Should you migrate to CK67, or keep running CK65?
If you're standing up a new deployment today, the CK67 is the more future-proof choice given its OS support runway. If you already have a certified CK65 fleet and your app doesn't need newer hardware capabilities, buying used CK65 units as spares is often the more cost-effective way to extend fleet life while you plan a full migration on your own timeline — rather than being forced into one.

Frequently asked questions
When does Honeywell CK65 support end?
The Honeywell CK65 reached official end-of-life on April 1, 2026. Honeywell now directs customers to the CK67 as its replacement.
Is the CK65 still worth buying used?
Yes, for fleets that already run CK65 devices and certified apps on that platform — used units are a practical way to add spares or replace damaged devices without a full migration. For new deployments, the CK67 is the better long-term choice given its newer OS support window.
What's the difference between the Honeywell CK65 and CK67?
The CK67 has a faster processor (Qualcomm QCM4490 vs. Snapdragon 660), more RAM (8GB vs. 4GB), a larger 4.3-inch display vs. 4.0 inches, 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, and a longer Android OS support window (Android 14 through 18 vs. Android 8 upgradeable to 11).
Do you buy back Honeywell CK65 devices?
Yes — working or non-working, any quantity. See Sell Honeywell Equipment for details.
