Android Handheld DesignThe A920 Max is a true Android handheld and mobile terminal — not a fixed countertop unit — built for merchants who need to take payment to the customer instead of the other way around.
Full EMV & ContactlessThe A920 Max supports full insert, swipe, and tap card entry alongside EMV and contactless acceptance, the same baseline security coverage as CARDZ3N's countertop terminal line.
Portable & Mobile Use CasesBecause it runs in both countertop and mobile modes, the A920 Max fits line-busting, curbside pickup, delivery, and tableside service without needing a second device for on-the-go acceptance.
Countertop & Mobile in One DeviceCARDZ3N's reference material documents the A920 Max as a dual-purpose Android countertop and mobile handheld terminal — one device that covers both a fixed register position and hand-carried acceptance.
NMI Gateway CompatibleThe A920 Max runs on CARDZ3N's supported gateway stack, so it fits alongside the rest of a merchant's NMI-based processing setup without a separate integration project.
The Higher-Spec A920 OptionThe A920 Max is documented alongside the A920 Pro as a higher-spec successor to the now-discontinued base A920, both available through CARDZ3N at the same price point today.
Where the PAX A920 Max Fits
Like the A920 Pro, the A920 Max is a countertop-capable Android handheld built for merchants who need to take payment away from a fixed register — line-busting, curbside, delivery, tableside, or pop-up retail — without giving up EMV, contactless, and receipt printing.

Compare the A920 ProNot sure if the A920 Max or the A920 Pro fits your business better? Both are priced identically through CARDZ3N — see the A920 Pro page for a side-by-side look before deciding.View PAX A920 Pro
The A920 Max is PAX's higher-spec Android handheld and mobile POS terminal — a countertop-capable device that also runs untethered for line-busting, curbside, delivery, and tableside acceptance. Like the A920 Pro, it is a successor to the now-discontinued base PAX A920.
What the A920 Max Is (and How It Compares to the A920 Pro)
The PAX A920 Max is a dual-purpose Android countertop and mobile handheld terminal — like the A920 Pro, a higher-spec successor to the base PAX A920, which CARDZ3N's reference material confirms is now discontinued. Both the A920 Pro and A920 Max are current models CARDZ3N sells today, positioned side by side in the same product line.
Here's the honest picture: CARDZ3N's source material lists the A920 Pro and A920 Max together, at the same cost and list price, without spelling out a specific spec difference between the two beyond both being described as “higher-spec” variants of the original A920. Rather than invent a distinction the documentation doesn't give us, we're telling you plainly — ask your CARDZ3N rep to walk through the current spec sheet if the difference between Pro and Max matters for your decision.

Handheld & Mobile Use
The A920 Max's Android handheld form factor is what separates it from CARDZ3N's countertop-only terminals: staff can carry it directly to the customer for line-busting during peak hours, curbside pickup, food and package delivery confirmation, or tableside payment at a restaurant — all on the same device that also works as a standard countertop unit when it's docked at a register.
Where the A920 Max Gets Deployed
Because it isn't tied to a fixed counter, the A920 Max fits use cases a countertop-only terminal can't cover on its own: mobile and curbside retail, delivery and route-based businesses, pop-up and event retail without a permanent checkout stand, and tableside service in restaurants and full-service venues.
For a merchant weighing terminal options, the A920 Max sits directly alongside the A920 Pro — see the A920 Pro page for a closer comparison, or the full terminal lineup for CARDZ3N's other PAX and Valor devices.
What's Documented and What Isn't
CARDZ3N's source material covers the A920 Max at the pricing and product-sheet level — form factor, dual countertop/mobile positioning, and its role as a current higher-spec successor to the discontinued base A920 — but with thinner spec-table detail than the Valor flagship terminals. A full processor, memory, display, and certification datasheet for the A920 Max has not yet been separately extracted, and no confirmed spec difference between the A920 Max and A920 Pro is documented in CARDZ3N's reference material.
What is confirmed, directly from CARDZ3N's source material: the A920 Max is an Android countertop-and-mobile-handheld terminal, it is a current, active model in the A920 line alongside the A920 Pro, and its pricing is quoted per merchant, the same as the A920 Pro. We'd rather tell you exactly what's documented than guess at specs or invent a difference between the two models; ask your CARDZ3N rep for the latest confirmed detail before ordering.
Pricing
The PAX A920 Max is available through CARDZ3N with pricing quoted per merchant based on volume and equipment needs, the same as the A920 Pro — CARDZ3N is the sole quoting and selling party, never a pass-through to PAX's own pricing. Ask your CARDZ3N rep for current pricing.
