Thanks for the first look on this. Two quick thoughts.. the Zero W has wifi/bluetooth and might be closer feature set to compare than the native Zero. Also I would love to have seen the power consumption of the Radxa and how that compares. I have couple couple projects where I went with Zero W because it uses a fraction of the energy as other Pi's while only giving up a little performance.
This is probably the most exciting product I've seen in a while, can't wait to get my hands on one of these! ETA, when you revisit this board please stack it up against the Pi Zero and the Pi 4 in power consumption, as that's one of the biggest draws of the Zero over the full sized Pi in many projects, even moreso sometimes than form-factor. Keep it up!
@MicroLinux Thanks, Man! If you happen to get the chance, could you through out some numbers for idle as well and perhaps a mention of methodology (idling on desktop, idling on commandline, HDMI disabled, etc). Big ups!

@Shriadid what do you mean? As I said already, CHIP wasn't really better than the Pi 0, so comparing it to the Pi 0 2 doesn't make any sense, it's an upgraded 0.
Great demo! Love the power, love the emmc, but - the one asterisk on the "same form factor as RPI0" claim is that this board (and the Banana Pi) have components on the bottom, which adds to the effective depth and might make it a deal breaker for folks trying to squeeze it in to small project.

Their very affordable pricing and very low power consumption. With this kind of steroid specs, there's no way this board will scratch a notable percentage off the Pi Zero market, as it will definitely be in a different league in at least one of these categories.
Agreed, people seem to forget that the #1 attraction to the pi is the price, and if your SBC costs 4x to 10x what a pi costs, it is no longer a competing product.

Great device. We have a Manjaro installation video. We also have some pictures in the Manjaro forum that it has some touch support with the Radxa Zero. But does someone use Manjaro with the Radxa Zero? Recently someone posted a review about Fedora running on a Raspberry Pi 4, which works but has issues. What about Manjora and Radxa Zero, is the Radxa Zero with Manjora usable, and is the Radxa Zero in general usable? I can find hardly any users who report that they use it.
Raspberry Pi Foundation definitely needs a refresh of the Zero form factor. Could they get the power consumption down on the Pi 3 SoC through a die shrink?
Very cool, I wish there was a SBC specifically for 10GBe NAS type of use case. Maybe even to do some transcoding but w/e.. nvme cache slot 2-4 SATA ports sfp+ port built in sipping power even under load (minus the drives of course) I also wonder if this is going to help the plethora of small linux tv boxes out there that are using similar chipsets
One of my favorite things ever made with Pi pcs is the Piboy, which was a emulation handheld in a gameboy chassis and powered by a Pi zero. I'd love to see a new version with this powering it instead.
Looks fast. Peeked my interest. ETA you mentioned LCD screens with ribbon cables. Can you post a link for one of those? Also I would like to see Batocera running on this thing.
Please try a desktop OS like Manjaro. The mesa team are currently working on the GPU driver (e.g. Vulkan but have to compile yourself) and I like to see GPU comparisons.
This is amazing. I was recently lamenting that I had a plan for a custom handheld project using an open cell monochrome LCD display, but all the SBCs out there with decent specs are absolute chonkers due to the bulky double-height USB-A and RJ45 ports. No DSI out is annoying, since that's the main way to interface with phone display panels and such, but for something this small, passing that off to a dedicated daughterboard might be feasible. Main challenge from what I can see would actually be setting up the battery. It's only power-in is throughone its USB-OTG port, which means you can't easily plug it into a PC without disconnecting the battery, and that's a giant pain in the arse.
Anyone else impressed by the size of the NIO 12L? Tiny powerhouse with a Genio 1200 chip? The possibilities are intriguing! Hearing about the Nio 12L for a longer time!!!
Oooh if a kit using this SBC to make a handheld emulation console was released I might get it! Id' get the most powerful variant of course, but damn.. such power in a small package! Such power. much wow! I'd like to see Linux on here please! Great video!
I just finished one fo your older builds, where i put a rasp zero inside an SNES controller. And IMAGINE this thing inside that SNES controller. That would be amazing, and powerful
on a serious note, if radxa gives device source so i can compile android by myself, this would make a nice tiny android tv module that you can camouflage behind a display
Okay, for those that don't realize it, this is _basically an Odroid C2_ (which also uses the Amlogic S905 SoC) _in a RPi Zero form factor._ That's basically a RPi 3B+ amount of power. Which is just nuts for the size.
After watching @explainingcomputers review on this sbc I came back to check if there was something new about it around here. When will you be testing Batocera on it?
Do you think we will soon see one of the sbc offerings with a thunderbolt4 port so you can power + drive dp-alt mode connection + usb hub connection all over a single cable connection to modern monitors with thunderbolt3/4 port support? Are their technical reasons such as size of device that is preventing it or is it a heat or cost driven issue preventing it from happening?
I'm not that much of a fan of Radxa since my Radxa Rock is a paperweight. Ok, the board does work but there never was an update to the OS it came with. Android 4.1! The specs look nice, but will it run next years kernel?
Interesting device . I have a tvbox with a cortex a7. Since this is doing emulation well, what could my tvbox run. I couldnt find any information online. I wish this could be a good alterative

@MicroLinux it has GPIO pins, and that's how the GPi case actually generates it's video output. The PiZero has no display outputs, including HDMI, so I don't know that there's any reason why it wouldn't be possible.
@@kernelpickle This board doesn't have the same GPIO as the RPI/RPI0. The GPi case relies on RGB signals which the Raspberry Pi has dedicated hardware for. It may be possible to emulate those signals through software but it would be really slow.
@@0x1EGEN Well, that sucks. I hate it when these Pi clones stop short of borrowing everything from the original designs and upgrading them. It's cool if your board is faster and can do more than a basic Pi can, but you can't leave out features! If you're going to copy the form factor, then you need to copy the functionality, otherwise you're just wasting everyone's time.
Expected (but very much subject to change!) price points, as takenfrom the Radxa forums: - 512MB LPDDR4 with WiFi4/BT4 - 15$ - 1GB LPDDR4 with WiFi4/BT4 - 20$ - 2GB LPDDR4 with 8GB eMMC, WiFi5/BT5 - 30$ - 4GB LPDDR4 with 16GB eMMC, WiFi5/BT5 - 45$ Comparable processing power to an Odroid C2 but with more features in less than half the size for less money than a C2 was going for before the C4 came out (which was $46 in the US from Ameridroid).

shop.allnetchina.cn/collections/frontpage/products/radxa-zero?variant=39374457307238 yeah s905y2 which is s905x2 without ethernet
And.....it's gone...
@@adamcottrill2575 Unlucky as the 1st batch of dev sample must of gone.
Next full batch is already in production.

Works nicely with Dietpi distribution!
So, this thing will fit into Rpi 0's gameboy cases as is?
Can't wait to get one!~
512MB LPDDR4 with WiFi4/BT4 - 15$
1GB LPDDR4 with WiFi4/BT4 - 20$
2GB LPDDR4 with 8GB eMMC, WiFi5/BT5 - 30$
4GB LPDDR4 with 16GB eMMC, WiFi5/BT5 - 45$
finally a worthy replacement for the Pi Zero W i have taped to the back of my TV
Great board will it run RISC OS.... like the Pi Zero?
The only thing that can kill any raspi is a huge amount of support and development like a Raspi
Thanks for sharing !
This REALLY needs a GPi cartridge, because that would fucking rule.
@MicroLinux that's so heartbreaking
@MicroLinux right, but my GPi case had so much potential. It's a shame.
@MicroLinux it has GPIO pins, and that's how the GPi case actually generates it's video output. The PiZero has no display outputs, including HDMI, so I don't know that there's any reason why it wouldn't be possible.
@@kernelpickle This board doesn't have the same GPIO as the RPI/RPI0. The GPi case relies on RGB signals which the Raspberry Pi has dedicated hardware for. It may be possible to emulate those signals through software but it would be really slow.
@@0x1EGEN Well, that sucks. I hate it when these Pi clones stop short of borrowing everything from the original designs and upgrading them. It's cool if your board is faster and can do more than a basic Pi can, but you can't leave out features! If you're going to copy the form factor, then you need to copy the functionality, otherwise you're just wasting everyone's time.
Expected (but very much subject to change!) price points, as takenfrom the Radxa forums:
- 512MB LPDDR4 with WiFi4/BT4 - 15$
- 1GB LPDDR4 with WiFi4/BT4 - 20$
- 2GB LPDDR4 with 8GB eMMC, WiFi5/BT5 - 30$
- 4GB LPDDR4 with 16GB eMMC, WiFi5/BT5 - 45$
Comparable processing power to an Odroid C2 but with more features in less than half the size for less money than a C2 was going for before the C4 came out (which was $46 in the US from Ameridroid).
Nice vid pal 👍
What about local video playback, as you've tested on many other boards? Would appreciate some standardized testing methodology.
