High-performance SmartPOS devices redefine customer engagement, contactless payments, transaction speed, wireless connectivity, and battery performance
Newland Payment Technology (NPT), a global leader in advanced digital payment terminals, has announced the launch of its S90 Android SmartPOS family.
The new line-up – S90, S90 Pro, and S90 Ultra – offers merchants worldwide enhanced performance and adaptability, with the flagship Ultra model supporting 5G connectivity in markets where next-generation networks are available.
The launch has been timed to coincide with NRF 2025: Retail’s Big Show in Europe, where Newland will present its broader portfolio of SmartPOS innovations.
Designed for both countertop and mobile environments, the S90 series establishes a new standard for fast payment processing and seamless customer interaction. At its core is a 2.4GHz octa-core processor operating on Android 14, enabling merchants to run demanding business applications smoothly and securely alongside essential payment functions.
The S90 series has been benchmarked by a major independent lab in Brazil, global customers, and ranked number one overall – outperforming leading competitors in:
- Processing performance delivered by the octa-core Central Processing Unit (CPU)
- Contactless transaction speed powered by Newland’s advanced antenna and chipset
- Wireless communication speed (WiFi and 4G)
- Battery life and charging time
These results demonstrate the series’ capability to deliver fast, reliable, and smooth payment experiences, supporting both high-volume retail transactions and complex business processes.
A 6.75” high-definition merchant-facing display ensures applications run clearly, while a secondary customer-facing screen enhances the checkout experience. An optional professional 1D/2D barcode scanner further extends versatility across different retail environments.
Alan Moss, Managing Director for Europe at Newland Payment Technology, commented: “The S90 series offers merchants what they need most – speed, reliability, and performance that they can count on every day. By combining industry-leading contactless capability, faster wireless connectivity, and extended battery life, the S90 sets a new standard for SmartPOS technology.”
Adam Roberts, Marketing Director for Europe, Newland Payment Technology, added: “The S90 is the lead device in NPT’s flagship ‘S Series’. We’ve designed the S portfolio to integrate payment, commerce, operations and back-end services into a unified platform.
“The architecture is expandable, meaning we can develop new custom hardware for customers even faster. And the software environment provides a straightforward platform for application providers to deploy joined-up solutions across all parts of the consumer and merchant experience.”
The S90 series is designed for both small merchants with complex operations and large retailers managing high transaction volumes, offering a scalable solution across multiple sectors. With three configurations – S90, S90 Pro, and S90 Ultra – retailers can choose the model that best fits their operational and network requirements and future-proof their estates.
The S90 series is available immediately and can be customised for acquirers, payment facilitators, and fintechs seeking to develop differentiated point-of-sale strategies.
