Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W review, including hardware specification and comparative performance tests. You can find more information on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W at:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-2/
Note that this is not a sponsored video, but that the The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W shown was supplied for review by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The video has therefore been flagged as a "paid promotion", as I received something "of value from a third party" that allowed me to make the video ahead of the launch on October 28th 2021.

Great video, as always. I'm waiting on delivery of my Zero 2W and am reading conflicting reports on the best OS to use, seems folk are suggesting the 32bit is better than the 64bit for this board. Please could I ask your thoughts, which would you install on it?
@landspide Says:
Don't know how you did those tests without increasing the swap file size from 100M. When I boot the pi zero 2 trashes the swap just booting, maybe the images have got more bloated over the past years?
@nimajokar6989 Says:
tnx so much
@nerdypcbuilder Says:
I sent my pi zero 2 w back and got the orange pi zero 3 4g and it was the best decision I made for sure 👌

G Pie O headers
@An.Individual Says:
I hadn't realised the Pi zero 2 W can run a GUI desktop
@edmatarazzo Says:
yes, i am waiting for the WH variant comes in the main line channels. My vission is jacked to solder and I don't need the kit.
@404four0four Says:
Can you use this with a SIM for cellular connectivity? and how?
@drrobotsir Says:
Which pi image version are you using? I installed the latest 64bit version and it's slow as hell
@ADITYA_JEENA Says:
here in India all pi boards are at a 100% premium...costs double as to market price of 4-5-15,20 usd....essentially I paid about 12us dollars for pico w...20 for pico zero w (not 2 w)...even more so for pi 4's, is that the case for most people perhaps due to supply chain challenges and low supply/demand ratio

thank you!
@NETBotic Says:
After years of waiting, I was finally able to buy a Pi Z2W at non scalper prices!
@hirusthehellhound Says:
Wow I would like to have it for my retro pi project

They had the chance to drop the microusb connector and missed it :(

How about video processing
@mb106429 Says:
Post a link to your pharmacogenomics video, I can't find it
@gameexe6337 Says:
how is this video not sponsored if you were sponsored in material form to make this video?
@GroovingPict Says:
DDR2?? I thought I was watching a video from a year ago, not from 20 years ago
@GrahamToal Says:
I don't think running a benchmark that takes advantage of parallelism is a very valid test of the new CPU - the vast majority of programs are single-threaded and even those that use OpenMP seldom get the full benefit that you would expect from running independent processes, MPI style. You could have run the benchmark on the Zero 2 using one core to compare CPUs, *then* run with 4 cores to show the advantage of parallelism when available. It looks like a single-core benchmark would take about 4*16 seconds, so we're looking at something like 65 vs 87 seconds from the faster CPU. Not to be scoffed at, but no-where near the huge speedup your review implies.

It costs 100 eur in Germany now!

$15, huh? Yeah, riiiiiiiiight......

@billloveless6869 Says:
Hi, is there a book/manual that you would recommend that list or explains all the commands that are relevant to the Raspberry Pi? Thanks
@partybrawl1764 Says:
For what can it be used?can we do browsing on this?. Van I practice coding?.😯
@picoyt9913 Says:
Can anyone give me a raspberry pi zero board as I don't have a raspberry pi board☹️
@AndrewTSq Says:
Had mine since launch. And I really wished it had atleast 1GB ram. 2GB would have been perfect. But now i often use one of my pi4 instead at the cost of size.
@shame1039 Says:
We don't have it if we can't buy it
@George196207 Says:
What is better then one Pi Zero six of them ! https://youtu.be/ecdm3oA-QdQ
@darsparx Says:
I wish they'd come out with a slightly beefier option meant for those using them in emulation handhelds to maybe take away some of the pressure off cm4's or its successor. Also for the love of all that is holy start putting emmc or some kind of storage on it by default on every model. Or at least have its alternatives be more available in the same stores as them. Having easier access to more options would be great
@Manuqtix.Manuqtix Says:
I wonder what is the video quality if you should connect a camera?
Is it going to be better than your phone camera for example?
@martales8563 Says:
thanx for the good quality content man
@izzymcgdog7653 Says:
How did you use a keyboard and mouse with one usb?
@liveartrainbow Says:
Great works
@badrulhasan9935 Says:
Nice , i will probably get this pi soon for my robotic projects :)
@rbelatamas Says:
thanks again this great video!
@pegasusapollosson3747 Says:
Jesus, it's ridiculously quick.
@Obiwan7100 Says:
Can this mini computer support 512gb and 1tb sd cards or does it have a limit?
@cevdetnacar169 Says:
Excellent presentation, thank you.
@Tommy-tx4dx Says:
I would have preferred if the Raspberry Pi Foundation fropped the hdmi port to add more ram :/
@matthewbeardsley7004 Says:
How would this compare to say the $4 Digital Ocean 512mb VPS, or other VPS' in the same price/spec range? I used to just run PiHole on the first gen, but wondering if I could get more out of it.
@meowthx1985 Says:
Well, Chris, not also Apple have stopped QuickTime for Windows, but also for their MP3 players - the iPod range. However, we cannot deny for a fact that those iPods, as well as those iPhones, are so expensive. But I'm sure we can use that Zero 2 to use it as an MP3 player as well as use those battery banks and DAC pHATs to play some of our favourite songs or maybe some videos using the Mini HDMI into our TVs innit?
@gunlovingliberal1706 Says:
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
@NathanCroucher Says:
Finally got one, was checking suppliers nearly everyday. I was on mail list for a site but they didnt inform that more was in stock, i was lucky. Able to buy 1 of the 2 available. Something to note, mine didnt come in a box like the RPi3-4, just a plastic bag like in video here.

You just finished sysbench on the 2 W....
You ran sysbench with threads = 1 on the original and 4 on the new board. That is fine and proper....but I would have liked to have seen a true apples to apples comparison with threads = 1 on the new board as well. This would have showcased how fast a single thread is compared to the old single thread, which is the whole processor I know. I just would have found it interesting, I'm sure that I would not have been the only one though....
Any chance you would run that test?? You may have to run all three sysbench tests again because I'm sure updates to the os's and stuff have changed....
Thank you for your time;
Monte

Still has more ram than my windows xp running on 256mb ram

Cost > $100 US on amazon
@svos7559 Says:
Wow really poweful!
@nml1877__ Says:
In terms of comparison between the devices it would be useful to see power consumption levels. With a pi zero / zero 2 running say a time lapse photography project powered by a battery will the the pi zero run longer than the pi zero 2 due to lower power requirements?
@mrb1801 Says:
Tired of hearing 15$...maybe it was 15$ before some scalper bought them all and is charging 70$ a piece...
