The Orange Pi Zero 3W is a tiny computer that measures just 65 x 32mm (2.56″ x 1.26″) and which bears a striking resemblance to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. But Orange Pi’s version supports far more RAM, faster WiFi, and an FPC interface for PCIe 3.0 x1 add-ons.
Powered by an Allwinner A733 processor, the Orange Pi Zero 3W supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory. Along with a microSD card reader, it also supports up to 32GB of onboard eMMC flash storage or 128GB of UFS 3.0 storage.

Allwinner’s A733 chip features an octa-core CPU with two Arm Cortex-A76 performance cores and eight Cortex-A55 efficiency cores plus a Xuantie E902 RISC-V rea-time core. There’s an Imagination BXM-4-64 MC1 GPU and an NPU with up to 3 TOPS of AI performance.
Entry-level models have as little as 1GB of RAM and no onboard storage, but Orange Pi says the system is also available with 2GB, 4GB,8GB, or 12GB of RAM.
Ports and connectors include:
The single board computer also has a 2-pin fan interface and built-in support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 LE wirel ess connections.
Orange Pi says the board can power up to two displays if you use the HDMI and USB-C ports. And for software, the company says the board supports Android, OpenHarmony, and several GNU/Linux distributions including Ubuntu and Debian.
Prices are expected to range from around $25 for an entry-level model to $100+ for versions with 12GB of RAM or more.

It doesn’t look much like the similarly-named Orange Pi Zero 3 that launched in 2023. That model measures 55 x 50mm (2.2″ x 2″) and has an Allwinner H618 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, and support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5. And instead of a 40-pin Raspberry Pi-like GPIO header, it has 26-pin and 13-pin headers.
One feature the older model has that the one lacks though? A Gigabit Ethernet port.
