i was truly delighted to see how unbioaased this was and that you arent afraid to just crap on the pi where it deserves to be crapped on, namely, the performance.
i caught the accent after about the third time @makerbymistake said it, im an Aussie we also were taught that m was pronounced EM with the accent on the e. but it had me thinking for a couple of seconds. JMAO
Delighted! That was a great review. I have selected the OrangePi for my future sUAS (drone) projects. The form factor, OS availability, and amount of RAM are my criteria.
Delighted to watch this video. Super informative thanks. Rarely is the processing power the most important factor for me - documentation and ease of use for the win.
The Radxa Zero 2 Pro has a different form factor, so it didn't fit in this comparison. It has a display conector, which is nice, but it lacks in all of the same areas that the Radxa Zero 3W lacks in
Microlinix has a great (3rd party) Armbiam image for the Zero 2 Pro that works incredibly well and Joshua Riek has Ubuntu Desktop images for Rockchip. I don't know if he has a Radxa Zero 3W image yet, but I suspect he will as there's one for the Orange Pi 3B which runs on the same processor as the 3W and is pretty decent. The downside of both boards and to be you get the best performance out of them, at least as of now, from third party images.
Setting an entire category on "does it have a camera header?" and "are the GPIOs 100% equal to theirs rival?" it's a wild take. Even those 2 points are true there's more to it like an LCD header for projects or industrial use, that most likely it will be the end purpose of most of those SBCs. The performance test was great showing that even the best CPU won't hold up if the software stinks
I was so delighted to see a video comparing the boards i have just been researching for a quadruped! RPI has the best SBC base, but their boards are just mediocer now considering the technology availability like in the Nvidia jetson Orin. I really need a form factor like these or even the compute modules (comparison suggestion!?), but almost landed on the Radxa for the SoC alone. Considering how amateur my knowledge is on programming, it looks like RPIZ2W is the safest option.
Delighted with your comparison of the three small form factor SBC boards. I have the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and I just got the Orange Pi Zero 2W. The Raspberry Pi has great ease of use and documentation, but average performance. The Orange Pi so far does not have hdmi output, so it is a work in progress.
I asked on the raspberry pi forum about why the current versions of the OS were not listed. I got no answer and my post was removed without explanation. I guess it's not something they want to talk about. You have download the current image from the web site and then can choose it from the Imager. The other factor to consider is the community that can support the device. Despite problems with the Raspberry Pi forums and the occasional toxicity of the Raspberry Pi Reddits, I think the Raspberry products still win here. Delighted. :D
Delighted. I am just getting into the Raspberry PI but had seen the Orange PI and was wondering if it was a better option for an LLM. That's how I found your channel. Thank you for the info. I might give the Orange a try for the Deepseek R1 project, but I will stick to Raspberry's for everything else. Have a good one.
They want to, but the problem is that there aren't RAM modules that fit in the specific form factor that the Pi Foundation is looking for. This isn't a problem on the other boards because they put components on the bottom, but the Pi has a smooth bottom which complicates things.
I agree and am delighted with your grading and that it depends on one’s use case. I used a few Raspberry Pi Zero W’s to ‘smartify’ some UPS’s in my house using NUT. Absolutely minimal performance needed for that… just a usb connector + wifi running headless. I even found a remote iPhone monitoring app. Inexpensive and reliable. 😊
I was delighted to see a comparison of these 3 boards. I just bought the RPi board but will have a better idea which board to pick if it doesn’t meet my needs.
Delighted to see a review that didn't stop at the paper specs, as others noted great hardware with poor documentation and support is a paperweight. One thing I wish more reviews focused on was the low level hardware, to me the real selling point of these sbcs is the ability to directly interface and control hardware in a project. This seems pretty glossed over usually, with a brief mention of a number of gpio (which is cool, but other peripherals and especially niche ones like i2s go unmentioned entirely).
Great comparison! It's good to see more Orange Pi zero 2W videos on youtube. By the way, one major difference that puts the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W way back is the RAM memory which is DDR2, besides Orange Pi and Radxa that have DDR4 which is a huge difference in speed that sometimes leaves the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W unusable for some applications. Great video!
I am truly delighted. Currently I am starting my journey with electronics, so I don't have specific plans, but I suppose thet Orange Pi Zero 2W will suits my needs.
Hi Delighted, nice comparative test with simple but efficient criteria easy to remove if somebody doesn't care about a particular test - this kind of test is quite important, because results sometimes bring surprises up. :)
Thank you for your review of the Zeros SBC, it have been an enlightment for decision on selection of board for tiny small projects, as for the camera related i would also consider Milk-V duo board although it would have a the lowest score for the stated criteria
Delighted to see this comparison. I own a Orange Pi 2W and a Radxa Zero 3E(basically the 3W but 1Gbps ethernet instead of WiFi). Can not agree more on the underwhelming state of Radxa's documentation and "Official" OS. Building the Radxa Zero 3E as a PiKVM and the Orange Pi Zero 2W has been a USB OTG Tailscale router for over a year.
I love different OS's for Raspberry Pi. I have the Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB in the Vilros Keyboard TouchPad Hub Running Berryboot OS's and recently did a 128 GB SD for Windows 11. I use Libreoffice in safe mode and configure Disable Hardware acceleration to get better performance. I just picked the Pi Zero 2W for a SNES MSU-1 Emulator. I picked up two Pico NES systems from Ali E too. I highly recommend the Uperfect touch screen monitor 15.6 ". It's really nice. The Rapoo K2800 keyboard as well for different things. The scroll wheel is a must.
I appreciate that review. In fact, one could say I'm delighted with it. With Zeroish things, I would be interested in performance to power consumption.
Thanks for the video. Would be nice to compare power draw of those modules, as it might be a crucial point for battery powered applications. Delighted to subscribe to you channel)
This makes me extremely happy that I went with the orange pi, even though it was $30 for a 2gb ram model. I have some really cool plans with these boards.
I was delighted and appreciate the time you invested. I have and OrangePi with 1.5Mb and the expansion board to make embedded development, easier, (Ethernet speeds things up) I had hopes of using the 24 pin pin connector in place of the 40 gpio pins for some embedded apps, but it appears to be connected to an ASIC chip which locks in the pin functions. One disappointment in the Orangepi is the lack of GPU support in all the linux distributions, maybe it works in android? The vast variety of ready to run Raspberry pi code gives that board a huge advantage for rookies who need to build on to a working code base.
Looking at supported OSes by number of available images is very misleading. You should check out how fast manufacturer abandons support for their boards. For example I have "Orange Pi One" which had Ubuntu and Debian images available in ~2020. And zero updates after that. So while I have few perfectly working hardware boards none of these are usable due to lack of up to date software side (and I don't want to run old, vulnerable OSes). Raspberry Pi OS (32bit) supports ALL existing raspberry pi boards and is still updated/maintained.
I am delighted to see some viable alternatives to the semicircle _Rubus_ . The citrus flavour seems quite enticing, especially with its video capabilities. I would like to see a good audio DAC though for media use. I suppose HDMI is an option for getting it out, or potentially even a DiY SPDIF IF THE GPIOs are fast enough, but I would love the option to get the analog signal directly from the board.
@@makerbymistake I am aware of those, I am however uncertain of whether they are completely compatible with the zeros. I would like to see compatible ones for the one with 4k capabilities. I did of course overlook the fact that all of the boards do have usb, so for pure audio applications, a good usb connected DAC is of course a real option as latency wouldn’t be a problem and for video applications I guess they are capable of sending high quality audio over HDMI. I may have seen problems where there really are none. If building a portable device, then the original comment is indeed still valid though. For my current purposes, I mainly want to have an AirPlay receiver for audio that doesn’t phone home to the Fruit Company all the time, that is also capable of video reproduction in the quality I want.
delighted! I am curious about how these boards or other boards would perform with different screens? I am unsure what screens are better compared to others and how to figure out the compatibility.
I have tested both Raspberry Pi and Orange Pi for a project where I created a platform to take ECG with a Kivy interface on framebuffer and a 7-inch touch screen. My experience: Raspberry Pi: Very easy to install everything and get it ready for testing, but it performed very poorly even with many adjustments. Orange Pi: Very difficult to get everything lightweight. I finally used Armbian for the Orange Pi 3, which is compatible, and everything worked very well, but there's a lack of information. Delighted
I have used a standard usb webcam on the orange pi with the expansion board. It works just fine and I think its easier to find and mount the webcam to be honest. The orange is definitely the best to use as a desktop computer. Its snappy in every way. I have played with many sbcs but the orange one actually impressed me for how tiny it is and how speedy it is.
Delighted to know if you evaluated the Radxa wi-fi capability? Asking because I got it when it first came out and their drivers for their own images were not working. I had to use Armbian to get its full functionality.
Delighted. I think we all use boards differently. I use as headless docker servers, in which case the Orange Pi beats the pants off of the Raspberry Pi. Keep in mind I only have power connected to both boards. The Orange Pi is always snappier, with 4X ram than the RPI. I don't have a Radxa, but I'm sure it would be better. Good comparison!
I know it is complicated, but for this kind of SBC's an efficiency category would be nice, giving the fact that they most likely end up battery powered
Yes, this was delightful. Viewing the spec sheets online can be a bit misleading if you don't have real world examples showing what those specs actually translate to in real life scenarios.
I know exactly why there are those callouts are there in the orange pi manual. Each one of them represents thousands of customer service calls from new users thinking the password cannot be entered or doesn't match the one given in the manual. Customer service people got very frustrated and requested the addition of those callouts.
My lamp broke. Now my room is de-lighted.
(Great video, thank you!)
Thanks for the objective review, Radxa will improve the software and documentation. Starting with the Radxa Imager tool first.
That would be great! Keep me posted on progress!

The Raspberry pi zero needs to be updated to 2gb ram add a couple bucks to the price and most people would agree with the price increase
They want to, but the problem is that there aren't RAM modules that fit in the specific form factor that the Pi Foundation is looking for. This isn't a problem on the other boards because they put components on the bottom, but the Pi has a smooth bottom which complicates things.
This was helpful. I'm delighted that there's competition for the Raspberry Pi, but it looks like it's going to be the Pi Zero 2w for me.

The orange is definitely the best to use as a desktop computer. Its snappy in every way. I have played with many sbcs but the orange one actually impressed me for how tiny it is and how speedy it is.
Delighted to know if you evaluated the Radxa wi-fi capability? Asking because I got it when it first came out and their drivers for their own images were not working. I had to use Armbian to get its full functionality.
Thanks for watching. WiFi was working fine with Radxa's Debian image for me.
Hearing about the Radxa Nio 12L is quite interesting one in terms of the performance and also with the integrated mediatek chipset.
Delighted. I think we all use boards differently. I use as headless docker servers, in which case the Orange Pi beats the pants off of the Raspberry Pi. Keep in mind I only have power connected to both boards. The Orange Pi is always snappier, with 4X ram than the RPI. I don't have a Radxa, but I'm sure it would be better. Good comparison!

40 pin IO - full technical run down - where do I find?
I use pinout.xyz for reference
Great video delighted with the score.
Glad you enjoyed it
Delighted. thanks for this great explanation.
Cheers!
Delighted. Interesting comparison. I've subbed.
Cheers. Thanks for watching. More SBC comparisons coming
I know it is complicated, but for this kind of SBC's an efficiency category would be nice, giving the fact that they most likely end up battery powered
I'll include power and temp in future videos. It's not the same as efficiency but it's an approximation for battery consumption
Yes, this was delightful. Viewing the spec sheets online can be a bit misleading if you don't have real world examples showing what those specs actually translate to in real life scenarios.
For sure!
I know exactly why there are those callouts are there in the orange pi manual. Each one of them represents thousands of customer service calls from new users thinking the password cannot be entered or doesn't match the one given in the manual. Customer service people got very frustrated and requested the addition of those callouts.
Hi Andy, do you work for Orange Pi? Would love to connect
“Delighted” Can you still run android on the raspberry pi?
Yeah, search for Kostakang images
