Considering the components shortage, I expect these to disappear from shelves quickly so if you are on the edge, make your decision quickly to get one now. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is priced at £13.50 at the PiHut store, and £13.20 at Pimoroni but purchases are limited to 1 board per customer. It’s going to be a perfect upgrade to my USBerry project, which will turn Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W into a USB stick alike portable programming platform. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W still offers a 40-pin GPIO header, camera connector, microSD card reader and the same USB port configuration. Unfortunately, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W failed to bring 5GHz WiFi to the table, which is I think the biggest letdown. It’s a much-needed upgrade as Zero series boards always came in a great form factor but lacked the performance needed for some projects. As my board is arriving tomorrow, it’s something I will definitely put to a test. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W promises up to 5 times a performance boost thanks to the Cortex series processor. ![]() CPUīluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) It means that existing accessories made for the Zero series will be compatible with the new board. To my disappointment (some will disagree), Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W still features micro USB ports (I’d love USB-C ports instead) and a mini HDMI connector. The easiest way to tell these apart is the fastest CPU: quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 and this time shrouded WiFi chip. ![]() The foundation found a way to refresh the design and introduce improved specifications of the Raspberry Pi Zero series. In my interview with Eben, he explained the challenges of cramming more features into that space. It’s easy to mistake the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with the older generation boards as the footprint of the board remains unchanged. ![]()
