For the rest, it is identical in every point. Only regret, the Ethernet POE gate was abandoned in favor of a 1000M Ethernet port. It was an asset to make DIY surveillance cameras. The Orange Pi Zero Plus 2, a more compact version without an Ethernet port with 8GB of flash storage eMMC and 512MB of DDR3 RAM is also available in 2 models: Allwinner H3 and Allwinner H5.
