The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest board in the Raspberry Pi Zero family, with a quad-core processor offering a 40% increase in single-threaded performance and 5x times more multi-threaded performance than the previous single-core Raspberry Pi Zero W!
Now available with a pre-soldered GPIO header - select your option before adding to cart!
The successor to the breakthrough Zero W, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a drop-in replacement for the original board, with the same form factor, connectors and mounting holes. Perfect for a project upgrade!
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W incorporates a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1GHz. At its heart is a Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP), integrating a Broadcom BCM2710A1 die with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM. This upgraded package provides the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with its generous increase in performance.
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W continues to offer 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and Bluetooth (now 4.2), along with support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and modular compliance certification.
The new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 has a MicroSD card slot for the Raspberry Pi Operating System, a CSI-2 camera connector, a USB On-The-Go (OTG) port and an unpopulated footprint for a HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. Video output is via a mini HDMI port; composite video output is available via the board's test points if needed.
The Zero 2 is powered via a micro-USB socket and requires a 5V 2.5A power supply just like previous generations.
Sharing the same form factor as the original Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fits inside most of our existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases (look out for the compatibility marker). Our favourite is the FLIRC Zero case!

I recently purchased the Raspberry Pi Pico W2 from The Pi Hut, and I’m thoroughly impressed! This tiny board is packed with features, offering built-in WiFi and Bluetooth for seamless connectivity. Setting it up was straightforward, and it runs perfectly.
It's got exactly the write amount of power for my project, and the addition of wireless capabilities makes it a game-changer for IoT applications. It’s reliable, responsive, and incredible value for money.
If you’re looking for a compact, versatile microcontroller, the Pico W2 is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!
Takes a little learning after being used to its bigger brothers and disocvering that its power and video connections are not the same as the Pi4 and Pi5. But once up and running does the job.
Amazingly small form with decent power to run picoreplayer via a DAC hat. Only gripe is why use mini hdmi and micro usb instead of micro hdmi and usbc on the standard pi? This means extra peripherals need to be purchased.
