Great little pi this one. After using the zero-w (which was good) I got the chance to get hold of one of these and so far its been excellent. I use mine (believe it or not as a miniature nas running samba shares and fitted with a tv hat (from pi hut) running tvheadend. I used the older zero-w to do this too and it worked really well but this newer version is much more crisp in everything it does. I do recommend using it with 64 bit rpi-os though. The wifi is a tad faster too than the zero-w. I have several nas setups one running openmediavault (rpi4-4gb) a synology ds118 and an asustor nas. By using the zero 2w I can have these setups all switched off until I need to backup to them maybe once every week or two. The power saving is fantastic as the zero 2w uses very little power. I use rsync to backup the the zero 2w all works very well. So to sum up very happy with this little beast. Service as always from pi hut fast and efficient.

Well what can I say this little piece of kit fills my heart with joy. So compact, beautiful in design like an emerald city which fits in the palm of your hand. The possibilities are endless, the world is my oyster with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 by my side.

More flexible than the usual ESP32 and smaller than a regular PI. Using a couple for BLE and other smart home chores. Wi-Fi seems to be a little sketchy but once its settled down, it stays connected. Sadly only 2.4. Great little device and powerful for its size/power draw

Great for projects where you want a cheap & small computer with wifi connectivity. Soldering on a pin header was ok despite lack of practice. If you're not going to connect a monitor, put the SD card or flash drive into a computer first, then enter the wifi name & password into a file called wpa_supplicant.conf in the /etc/wpa_supplicant directory. The Pi should connect to wifi when it is booted.

Extremely happy to be able to get hold of a raspberry pi 2 zero w and pi hut made the purchase as painless as it could possibly be. Delivered promptly and as expected

This purchase was to upgrade a Pi Zero W, in a custom enclosure, to allow the use of AirPlay2 functionality with the excellent Shairport-Sync package (experimental branch at the time of writing; requires more CPU power). I found this Pi worked as a drop-in replacement and was easy to connect and set up. All connectors matched their previous locations and GPIO connectivity was in the same location too - important for other duties its predecessor performed!
