A new single-board computer by Orange Pi has popped up available on AliExpress. The Orange Pi 2G-IoT is designed to contend with the Raspberry Pi Zero, as well as if specs are anything to go by they have done a nice job.

There are a great deal of choices for additional little single board computers these days as well as there’s a growing listing at the lowest price points. Let’s phone call it the sub-$20 expense variety (to quell the disagreement of shipping fees). We have seen C.H.I.P., the Raspberry Pi foundation released the Pi Zero W (an update to the Zero line that included WiFi as well as Bluetooth), the already offered Orange Pi Zero (which was featured in a job on Monday), as well as now add to that listing the unfortunately named Orange Pi 2G-IoT.

The 2g-IoT is sporting an ARM Cortex-A5 32bit clocked at 1GHz with 256MB DDR2 RAM. It’s nice to see 500 MB of on-board NAND to go along with an SD card slot for larger storage. It likewise has a CSI camera connector, WiFi, Bluetooth, an FM Radio as well as GSM/GPRS with a sim card slot on the bottom. It is pin compatible with Raspberry Pi’s almost standardized GPIO layout.

All this for $10 is rather impressive to state the least, particularly the addition of GSM/GPRS. will it kill Raspberry Pi Zero W sales? We believe not. While the Orange Pi’s are fantastic bit computers, they don’t have the neighborhood support that is afforded to Raspberry Pi products making for less support on the internet when you run into a problem. That’s if you can even get the thing running in the very first place. The Orange Pi’s website has not yet been updated to show the new release. nevertheless if you are thinking about getting one for yourself right now, head over to your preferred Chinese electronics supplier.
