Verdict

Banana Pi BPI-M4 Zero

6.7 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable, WiFi 6-equipped Pi Zero rival for battery-powered IoT projects, held back mainly by a thinner tutorial and HAT ecosystem than the official Pi Zero line.

Pine64 Star64

7 / 10 Expert Rating

An affordable, usable RISC-V board with dual Ethernet, bought for the architecture more than the speed.
