General info
volume
99.53 cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
weight
46 g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
The maximum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
The minimum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
width
88 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
height
58 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
thickness
19.5 mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
Performance
Uses big.LITTLE technology
✖Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
Using big.LITTLE technology, a chip can switch between two sets of processor cores to maximize performance and battery life. For example, when playing a game the more powerful cores will be used to increase performance, whereas checking email will use the less powerful cores to maximize battery life.
RAM
4GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.
RAM speed
3200 MHz
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
has an external memory slot
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
maximum amount of external memory supported
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The maximum amount of external storage memory supported by the the device.
GPU clock speed
500 MHz
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
internal storage
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
GPU memory speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
Supports 64-bit
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
Connectivity
With more USB ports, you are able to connect more devices.
Has USB Type-C
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
has an HDMI output
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
You can output high definition video and audio to a display. This could be through an HDMI port, Mini HDMI port, or a USB-C port that supports HDMI.
supports Wi-Fi
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi version
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Has Bluetooth
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.
supports Ethernet
✔Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
Ethernet is a local area network technology.
Sensors
Has an infrared sensor
✖Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
With an infrared sensor the device can detect motion by measuring the infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.
has an accelerometer
✖Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
has a compass
✖Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
A compass is useful for gaming, maps, and navigation software.
has a gyroscope
✖Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
A gyroscope is a sensor that tracks the orientation of a device, more specifically by measuring the angular rotational velocity. Initially, they were built using a spinning rotor to detect changes in orientation, like twisting or rotation.
Miscellaneous
Newer USB versions are faster and have better power management.

The Raspberry Pi 4 has become the go-to standard for DIY enthusiasts, thanks to its community and modules. I've found its upgrade to a quad-core processor and options for up to 8GB of RAM to be game-changers, allowing more processing-demanding projects. Its connectivity features dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and dual micro HDMI ports. It's a good choice for various applications, from custom media centers to home automation systems and DIY projects. Also, it's reasonably priced.
