Chris from Explaining Computers has posted a review of the Orange Pi Zero 3W, which is a little board with a bunch of features that's only 2mm wider than the Raspberry Pi Zero W:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5cfdGp_SeU
AllWinner A733 SoC, 2x A76 + 6x A55, LPDDR5, microSD + PCIe x1, mini HDMI + USB-C DP alt mode, WiFi 6 (looks like single-band) + BT 5.4, CSI + DSI, active cooling, and (drumroll please) Armbian Standard support.
note that this is pretty new hardware so you should not expect all the bells and whistles to work out of the box yet.
interesting little board! #OrangePi #AllWinner #PiZeroW
