Clover is excited to announce the launch of Station Duo in Canada in March 2021! This is the most advanced POS device we are introducing to the Canadian market to date. You may know it as Station Pro in other geographic regions. Rest assured that it is the same great device, just with a new name that highlights Station Duo's most distinctive feature—its dual displays. Read to learn more.

The Station Duo includes three components:

• Station Duo Terminal—A 7" customer-facing Terminal that is similar to the Mini (2nd Gen) and provides all the computing power of the Station Duo setup. The Terminal provides all payment functions (with EMV chip, NFC, and MSR technologies) without the need for a printer, as is not intended to be a standalone device.

• Station Duo Display—A 14" merchant-facing Display that looks similar to Station 2018. Unlike the setup of the Station 2018 tethered to a Mini, the Station Duo Display is powered by the Station Duo Terminal. The Display is used for all business functions without the need for the swivel functionality.

• Printer—A standalone printer. Unlike the Station 2018 printer, the Station Duo printer does not require a customer-facing screen or tap-to-pay technologies, as the Terminal handles these functions.

Key highlights

The Station Duo comes with these exciting improvements:

Processor—Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor (4 cores up to 1.8GHz and 4 cores up to 2.2GHz)
Memory—2 GB RAM
Storage—16 GB
Operating system—Android 8.x, multi-language support
North America and Europe (C043E)—4G/LTE only
Merchant-Facing Display—14.0" IPS FHD Display
Customer-Facing Display—7.0" IPS HD Display (Gorilla Glass 3 with Anti Fingerprint and Anti-Microbial)

General information

The new Platform2 class offers similar functionality to the Platform class but does so in a dynamic manner that avoids the need to recompile your app to support new Clover devices. Actions for your apps:

• Remove checks for device type based on the deprecated Platform.isDevice() methods such as Platform.isStation() and Platform.isStation2018(). We no longer provide these methods for our newer devices.
• Use standard Android methods to discover device features and to support different screen sizes.

For example, if a Clover device supports the system feature, FEATURE_TELEPHONY, it supports mobile data.

boolean mobileData = context.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_TELEPHONY);
