Hardware

After the Orange Pi Zero launch, a newer improved SBC was launched by Shenzhen Xunlong company under the name Orange Pi Zero2 — a new successor to the Zero with slightly larger dimensions and more power. The board is also outfitted with additional specs over its predecessors, keeping it relatively small with 63×53 mm dimensions.

Under the hood, the Orange Pi Zero2 is based on an Allwinner H616 SoC with a 64-Bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, Mali G31 MP2, 512Mb/1GB of LPDD3 RAM, and up to 32Gb of storage via micro SD card. The board packs a Micro-HDMI 2.0 port (video output), a USB 20 port, and a USB Type C port. Connectivity features dual-band WiFi support: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wi-Fi 4/5), WiFi IPX antenna socket, Bluetooth 5.0, and 1GBps Ethernet. The board has a 26-pin header, 3-pin UART header, and 13-pin header, as well as power/status LEDs.

Allwinner H6 Vs H616 Comparison

The new Allwinner H616 SoC provides enhanced capabilities in a few areas, such as 4K@60fps video decoding, with a reduced power consumption of %20 to the last generation.

Allwinner also implemented their new self-developed SmartColor3.3TM picture enhancement engine that supports Dolby and DTS audio processing, making this hardware ideal for home multimedia applications, especially for the set-top boxes market.

Practical Applications

Due to the size of the Orange Pi Zero2, we believe it will be most suitable as a mini PC device solution. Combined with 1GB of RAM and a 5GHz Wifi band, it’s most likely that you will be able to use it to run KODI under the Android 10.0 operating system. You are welcome to leave your comments if you have ideas and insights about how this SBC can be used.


Software Support

The Orange Pi Zero2 features a 26-pin “Raspberry Pi 1” header, possibly making it compatible with HATs and other Pi boards. On the software end, the Orange Pi is reported to be able to take advantage of Android 10.0, Ubuntu, Debian, and most likely also Armbian.


Where can you buy It?

The Orange Pi Zero2 price tag is currently $31.10 for the more advanced model with 1GB of DDR3 RAM, and you also have built-in WiFi support plus a 1G LAN port and a Micro HDMI port, which is very useful for applications that need external display support.
