Expert Summary

The Orange Pi Zero 4 is a compact 50 x 55 mm single-board computer built around the Allwinner A733, an octa-core SoC pairing two Cortex-A76 with six Cortex-A55 cores, a PowerVR BXM-4-64 GPU and a 3 TOPS NPU. It supports LPDDR5/LPDDR4X/LPDDR4 memory up to 16 GB, optional onboard eMMC or UFS storage and a microSD slot, with Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. Video output is via Mini HDMI 2.0 (4K@60) and a USB-C port with DisplayPort output, alongside dual MIPI CSI camera inputs and a PCIe 3.0 FPC connector.
