Orange Pi launched today a single board computer board with a small form-factor based on the Allwinner H618 64-bit processor clocked at 1.5GHz. The Orange Pi Zero 3 is equipped with one Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE support, various GPIOs and Wi-Fi/BT 5.0 connectivity.

This Orange Pi board comes in a similar form-factor (50 x 55mm) as the WuKong Board H3 Zero covered in June, except the former integrates an Allwinner H618 chip instead of the Allwinner H3 from the latter board. 

• Allwinner H618 — Quad-core Cortex-A53 (up to 1.5 GHz); Mali G31 MP2 GPU; w/ OpenGL ES 1.0/2.0/3.2, OpenCL 2.0, Vulkan 1.1 support

Memory and storage options are flexible, allowing users to choose from 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB, or 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. For storage, the Orange Pi Zero 3 supports MicroSD cards and comes with a 16MB SPI Flash.

When it comes to display options, the Orange Pi Zero 3 provides a single Micro HDMI port that supports resolutions up to 4K at 60fps.

Wireless connectivity includes support for built-in WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. The new Orange Pi board also supports up to 1000M Ethernet unlike the Wukong board H3 Zero that only supports up to 100M ethernet.

The Orange Pi Zero 3 provides a range of I/O interfaces, including a 26x GPIOs header, a 13x GPIOs header, and a 3-pin Debug TTL UART. Additionally, it features one USB 2.0 port (two from the expansion board) and a USB type-C port (5V/3A) to power the board.
