Over the time, several variants of Raspberry Pi have been launched. Some upgrade a previous model and some are crafted for specific purposes. + +Of all the Raspberry models, Pi Zero and Pi Zero W are the cheapest ones aimed for small scale and IoT projects. Both devices are almost similar to each other but with a subtle and important difference. + +**So, what is the difference between Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W? The W in Zero W stands for Wireless and it depicts its wireless capability over the Pi Zero model. That’s the single biggest difference between the two similar models.** + +Let’s take a look at a bit more in detail. + +### Key Difference Between Pi Zero and Pi Zero W + +![][1] + +While Raspberry Pi Zero was built with a goal that provides more utility with half of the size of the A+ board. + +And, Raspberry Pi Zero W was introduced later to include wireless connectivity built-in without needing a separate accessory/module to enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. + +This is the key difference between the two with the rest of the specifications remaining identical. + +So, if you want the support for: + + * 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN + * Bluetooth 4.1 + * Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) + + + +Raspberry Pi Zero W will be the definite choice to go with. + +Also, Raspberry Pi Zero W offers a variant with header pins included which is “Raspberry Pi Zero WH”. + +Preview | Product | Price | +---|---|---|--- +[![CanaKit Raspberry Pi Zero W \(Wireless\) Complete Starter Kit - 16 GB Edition][2]][3] | [CanaKit Raspberry Pi Zero W (Wireless) Complete Starter Kit - 16 GB Edition][3] | $32.99[][4] | [Buy on Amazon][5] + +### Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi Zero W Specifications + +![Raspberry Pi Zero W][6] + +The [specifications for Raspberry Pi Zero W][7] and Zero are almost identical. + +You get a 1 GHz single-core CPU coupled with 512 MB RAM. For connectivity, you get a mini HDMI port, micro USB OTG support, micro USB power, and a CSI Camera connector (to plug in a camera module). + +These boards also feature a [HAT][8] (Hardware Attached on Top)-compatible 40 pin header, but generally, without the pins that let you easily plug the interfaces. + +You can choose to explore the capabilities using [various Raspberry Pi OS][9] available. In either case, just stick to the Raspberry Pi OS. + +### Raspberry Pi Zero series: Is it worth It? + +![Raspberry Pi Zero][10] + +Raspberry Pi Zero is a single-board computer that is popular for its form factor. Even though you have plenty of [Raspberry Pi zero alternatives][11], Raspberry Pi Zero is the recommended choice for all the good reasons. + +Of course, unless you have specific requirements. + +In addition to the size of the board, the pricing, power requirement, and processing power are some of the key highlights of this board under **$20**. + +So, if you are looking for the essential features under a budget, the Raspberry Zero series should work for you. + +**Recommended Read:** + +![][12] + +#### [27 Super Cool Raspberry Pi Zero W Projects for DIY Enthusiasts][13] + +The small form factor of the Raspberry Pi Zero W enables a new range of projects. Here are some cool projects you can build with your tiny Raspberry Pi Zero W. + +### Is Raspberry Pi Zero series affordable? + +Raspberry Pi Zero costs **$5** and the Raspberry Pi Zero W would cost you around **$10**. ****Of course, depending on its availability and region, the cost will differ. If you want the Raspberry Pi Zero W with header pins, it should cost you around **$14**. + +There are other devices that can be used as an [alternative to Raspberry Pi Zero][11] and they have similar price tag. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-zero-vs-zero-w/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/raspberry-pi-zero-vs-zero-w.png?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1 +[2]: https://i1.wp.com/m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517BwcAPmTL._SL160_.jpg?ssl=1 +[3]: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072N3X39J?tag=chmod7mediate-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1 (CanaKit Raspberry Pi Zero W (Wireless) Complete Starter Kit - 16 GB Edition) +[4]: https://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/?tag=chmod7mediate-20 (Amazon Prime) +[5]: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072N3X39J?tag=chmod7mediate-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1 (Buy on Amazon) +[6]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/raspberry-pi-zero-w.png?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-zero-w/ +[8]: https://github.com/raspberrypi/hats +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-os/ +[10]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/raspberry-pi-zero-1.png?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 +[11]: https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-zero-alternatives/ +[12]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/raspberry-pi-zero-w-projects.png?fit=800%2C450&ssl=1 +[13]: https://itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-zero-projects/
