TL;DR: RK3568 A133 eMMC 8GB/16GB/32GB with WiFi 6
AndroidSBC release: nine-model WF-C smart checkout counter motherboard family enters volume production serving Manama, Bahrain. The WF-C3603 smart checkout counter Android motherboard spans the face-payment smart checkout counter terminal and eight sister models (WF-C3600 through WF-A1313), all built on the RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC with the Mali-G52 2EE GPU and 1 TOPS NPU, dual HDMI 4K plus LVDS, and Android 14 firmware support. AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, ships the WF-C family from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen to Manama and Bahrain importers who run smart checkout counter, POS terminal, kiosk, dual-screen cashier, smart retail, and unmanned-store programs.

About AndroidSBC and the Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboard Family
The AndroidSBC WF-C family is a Wanlin Manufacturing Group OEM and ODM platform built around two silicon tiers: Rockchip RK3568 for premium smart checkout counters, dual-screen POS and industrial kiosks, Allwinner A133 for entry-level cashier desks, F and B ordering counters and locker terminals. Every WF-C board ships from the Wanlin Longgang factory with Android 10 to Android 14 firmware, payment peripheral drivers and CE / FCC / UKCA / RoHS files ready for Bahrain importers. For Bahrain in particular, the WF-C platform serves the checkout counter and POS terminal channel where supermarket procurement teams, hospitality refresh integrators, F and B counter vendors and unattended-retail operators all converge on the same board architecture.
WF-C3603 Technical Specifications
| Parameter | AndroidSBC WF-C3603 (face-payment smart checkout counter terminal) | Industry Average |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC | Older 28nm or 40nm quad-core SoC |
| Process node | 8nm low-power | Older 28nm or 40nm process |
| GPU | ARM Mali-G52 2EE | Older Mali-450 or basic GPU |
| NPU / AI | 1 TOPS INT8 NPU | No NPU on competing entry boards |
| Memory | 4GB LPDDR4X | DDR3 1GB / 2GB on competing boards |
| Storage | 64GB eMMC | eMMC 5.0 8GB / 16GB on competing boards |
| Display output | dual HDMI 4K plus LVDS | Single HDMI 1080p only on competing boards |
| Touch support | 20-point capacitive touch | Resistive single-touch on competing boards |
| Operating system | Android 14 | Android 8 or Android 9 on competing boards |
| Connectivity | WiFi 6 802.11ax plus Bluetooth 5.0 plus dual Gigabit Ethernet | WiFi 4 plus 10/100M Ethernet on competing boards |
| Payment peripherals | QR code scanner, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer | No bundled payment-peripheral driver SDK on competing boards |

All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-C3603 (face-payment smart checkout counter terminal) maintains its 4K HDMI output plus capacitive touch sampling while running the burn-in test loop, a configuration that competing single-platform boards cannot sustain at 60fps. For Bahrain importers sourcing the WF-C family, the WF-C3603-A variant is the typical configuration for the face-payment checkout terminal use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.
Challenges in Sourcing Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboards for Bahrain Buyers
Procurement teams in Bahrain typically ask three questions when they audit a Chinese checkout counter board factory: can the factory lock the Rockchip RK3568 or Allwinner A133 silicon, can it bundle peripheral drivers, and can it deliver CE / FCC / RoHS files for Bahrain customs. AndroidSBC, a Wanlin Manufacturing Group export brand, answers all three with the WF-C family.
TRA Bahrain radio interface registration plus TRA type approval for radio and telecom terminal equipment is the standard Bahrain anchor for checkout counter boards with WiFi 6 or 4G LTE. The WF-C family from AndroidSBC folds TRA Bahrain conformity into the source-factory shipment so Manama importers skip the separate broker pass. Wanlin Longgang released the 13300-unit WF-C smart checkout counter Android motherboard order for Manama, Bahrain on September 15, 2026, after burn-in on the 5th lot.
Competitive Comparison: WF-C3603 vs Competing Smart Checkout Counter Android Boards
Procurement teams comparing Chinese checkout counter Android boards weigh four things: silicon tier, peripheral driver support, OTA content management and CE / FCC files. The WF-C family from AndroidSBC answers all four:
- vs single-platform 28nm boards: the WF-C family covers both the Rockchip RK3568 8nm premium tier and the Allwinner A133 22nm entry tier out of one Shenzhen source factory.
- vs Cortex-A7 32-bit boards: the WF-C family is quad-core 64-bit throughout, with the RK3568 Cortex-A55 2.0GHz and the A133 Cortex-A53 1.6GHz both on ARMv8.
- vs boards shipped without a peripheral driver SDK: the WF-C family ships with QR code, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer and weighing-scale drivers already integrated.
- vs boards without remote fleet tools: the WF-C family ships with OTA content management, remote firmware update and kiosk-mode lockdown out of the box.
