Orange Pi Zero 3 is quad core fantastic small IoT board starting from 14.99! The Orange Pi Zero 3 is a small single-board computer (SBC) powered by the Allwinner H618 quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor. It comes with 1GB to 4GB of RAM, a 16MB SPI flash for storage, micro HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0. The board features a USB 2.0 port and two headers for expansion, allowing for additional functionality. Compared to its predecessor, the Orange Pi Zero 2 SBC powered by the Allwinner H616, the Orange Pi Zero 3 offers an upgrade in memory capacity, quadrupling the maximum RAM to 4GB. It also comes with an increased size of embedded SPI flash. The new board maintains the same set of ports but with a different layout and a slightly smaller form factor, providing users with a compact and versatile SBC option.
