What’s Raspberry Pi Zero W? Well, it’s a variant of the tiny Raspberry Pi Zero that features onboard wireless LAN and Bluetooth support. Raspberry Pi Zero W is here to fill in the gap that Raspberry Pi Zero left in regards with wireless connectivity by integrating it into the core product, along with Bluetooth 4.0 functionality, of course. Raspberry Pi Zero W’s technical specifications include a single-core processor running at 1GHz, 512MB RAM, 802.11n wireless LAN powered by the Cypress CYW43438 wireless chip that’s also used in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B SBC, HAT-compatible 40-pin header, mini-HDMI port, micro-USB OTG (On-the-Go) port, and micro-USB power.
