But these come with 512MB of RAM instead of the 1GB offered by the Orange Pi PC. These two boards are also powered by the Alwinner H3 SoC used in the Orange Pi PC. You can get more information from their official page and pick one up from here. There is also a cut down version of the Orange Pi PC powered by the same SOC but with less RAM.
CSI Camera interface and onboard microphone. Allwinner H3 Quad-core Cortex-A7, 1.6GHz. It even has onboard IR Receiver and a Microphone. This SBC can make a good media box with the right software. It has an HDMI port with support for HDCP, CEC as well. It uses the Allwinner H3 SOC and can decode 4K HEVC/H.265 video. It’s one of the very few boards which offer 1GB of RAM at such a price point.
