In a time when Raspberry Pi’s are few and far between, alternative options such as the MangoPi MQ-QUAD are increasingly interesting and needed. In this review we cover the features, functionality and performance of the Allwinner H616 Quad Arm A53 core CPU. This single board computer is designed to be a drop in replacement of the Raspberry Pi Zero as it features the same form factor (65x30mm). This board is shipped with 1GB of DDR3 RAM.
There are two linux distributions provided by MangoPi, tina-linux and debian. These actually appear to be the software images provided by OrangePi for their products. We used the debian image for our benchmarks. Performance in Coremark, PHPbench, GZIP, SmallPT and more are presented to hopefully answer the question of should you buy the Mango Pi MQ-PRO if you are looking for a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and can’t get your hands on one.
