Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W proves that big performance doesn't need a big body. The quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1GHz processor, integrated with 512MB of LPDDR2 RAM into its own RP3A0 system-in-package, delivers 5× higher multi-threaded performance than the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero – all while maintaining the identical 65×30mm dimensions. Integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi with a certified antenna in a shielded enclosure, Bluetooth 4.2 with BLE support, a mini HDMI output with H.264 and MPEG-4 video decoding up to 1080p30, and a microSD slot provide everything you need for smart home applications, security cameras, IoT projects, or embedded systems in a miniature body. Compatibility with the 40-pin GPIO header and the HAT module ecosystem ensures the full expandability of the Raspberry Pi platform, while the CSI-2 connector allows you to connect a camera for computer vision projects. It is supplied without an operating system for maximum deployment flexibility, with support for Raspberry Pi OS and other ARM Linux distributions.

RP3A0: Raspberry Pi's custom chip for maximum integration
At the heart of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the RP3A0 system-in-package – a custom chip designed in-house at Raspberry Pi, integrating a quad-core Broadcom BCM2710A1 Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1GHz processor and 512MB of LPDDR2 RAM into a single compact package. This integration maintains the minimal 65×30mm dimensions while delivering significantly higher performance than its predecessor. The ARMv8 architecture opens up the possibility of installing a wide range of operating systems, including various Linux distributions, with the ideal choice remaining the Raspberry Pi OS, optimised specifically for the platform's hardware.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a certified antenna for IoT without compromise
Integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi with a shielded antenna in a certified enclosure ensures reliable wireless connectivity with better RF compliance for industrial and commercial deployment. Bluetooth 4.2 with BLE support enables communication with wireless sensors, actuators, and other IoT devices without the need for external modules. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a natural choice for security cameras, smart home applications, Bluetooth speakers, or industrial monitoring systems where every millimetre and every milliamp matters.
Connectors and accessories for a quick start
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W maintains an identical connector layout to the original Zero, so it fits most existing cases and accessories. A micro USB OTG adapter is needed to connect a USB keyboard, mouse, or hub, and a mini HDMI cable or adapter is required for connecting a monitor. The GPIO header is supplied unpopulated – you will need to solder on a standard 2.54mm header to connect HAT modules. Power is supplied by a 5V / 2.5A micro USB power source, with the official Raspberry Pi 12.5W Micro USB Power Supply being the ideal choice for stable operation even under full processor load.
Raspberry Pi OS: an operating system designed for maximum hardware performance
Raspberry Pi OS is the official operating system for the Raspberry Pi platform, optimised directly for the BCM2712 hardware and designed to get the most out of every core and every MB of RAM. The latest version, Trixie, brings significantly improved desktop performance, smoother animations, and faster system response, while the older supported version, Bookworm, remains available for projects requiring proven stability. Pre-installed tools for development, education, and system management let you get started immediately without lengthy configuration, and the extensive ecosystem of software available through the APT package manager ensures you will always find the right tool for your Raspberry Pi 5 project.
