Searching for an Oxhoo Moov alternative? Oxhoo has built a strong following in UK and European EPOS, and the Moov is one of its most distinctive designs: a Red Dot award-winning hybrid POS terminal whose screen lifts off its stand so staff can serve customers on the shop floor. The HiStone HM638N follows the same “fixed and mobile in one” idea – but with a newer processor, Windows 11 and more payment hardware built in.
Two hybrid POS terminals, one idea
Both products aim to replace a fixed till and a separate handheld with one device. The Moov pairs a large touchscreen with a premium metal stand; the HM638N pairs an 11.6-inch Full HD tablet with a choice of a smart dock or a simple charging dock.
Screen and portability
UK reseller listings show the Moov with a 13.3-inch touchscreen (Oxhoo’s Red Dot entry describes it as 14-inch), which gives a generous counter display. The HM638N uses an 11.6-inch Full HD 1920 x 1080, 350-nit G+G capacitive screen and weighs just 888g at 14.2mm thin – easier to carry all shift for table service, queue busting and stock checks, with an optional hand strap.
Processor: Intel Celeron 4205U vs Intel N97
Published UK listings show the Moov MV396 with an Intel Celeron 4205U – a dual-core, 1.8GHz 8th Gen-era processor – with 4GB memory and 128GB storage. The HM638N uses the newer quad-core Intel N97, boosting up to 3.6GHz, with 8GB to 16GB memory and 128GB to 512GB storage, or an Intel Core i3 option. Double the cores and more memory give more headroom for modern EPOS software, browsers and updates.
Operating system and wireless
- Moov (as listed): Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2019, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, LAN.
- HM638N: Windows 11 LTSC as standard (Windows 11 Pro available), Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
Windows 11 and Wi-Fi 6 mean a longer support runway and more reliable connections in busy venues.
Payments and scanning built in
The Moov includes an integrated barcode reader. The HM638N offers:
- Integrated 3-track MSR as standard.
- Optional integrated 2D barcode scanner with a dedicated scan button.
- Optional under-screen NFC for contactless cards.
- Optional fingerprint reader in the power button for secure staff log-in.
- 8MP autofocus rear and 5MP front cameras.
Docking and peripherals
The HM638N smart dock turns the tablet into a complete counter terminal: 5 x USB 2.0, 2 x USB 3.0, PoweredUSB 24V, USB-C, 2 x RJ50 serial, RJ45 LAN, audio and an RJ11 24V cash drawer port, with a magnetic lock and 10°–90° tilting hinge. Printers, scanners, customer displays and cash drawers connect without adapters.
Is the HM638N the right Oxhoo Moov alternative?
If you want the biggest possible screen on a stylish stand, the Moov is an attractive design. If you want a lighter, more portable device with a modern quad-core Intel N97, Windows 11, Wi-Fi 6, built-in MSR, NFC and 2D scanning, and a full-I/O smart dock, the HiStone HM638N is the stronger all-round EPOS package – held in UK stock in Leicester and supported in-house by B-Spoke Systems.
