Raspberry Pi 3 Model B plus (RPi 3B+ buy in India)

Description

Looking for a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B plus (Rpi 3B + ) to buy online in India, with fast shipping, Circuit Uncle is the right place!

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus (3B+) Specifications:

• SoC: Broadcom BCM2837B0 quad-core A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit @ 1.4GHz ( Faster processor than Raspberry pi 3 Model B-RPi 3B)
• GPU: Broadcom Video core-IV
• RAM: 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM ( Same as Raspberry pi 3 Model B-RPi 3B )
• Networking: Gigabit Ethernet (via USB channel), 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
• Storage: Micro-SD
• GPIO: 40-pin GPIO header, populated
• Ports: HDMI, 3.5mm analog audio-video jack, 4x USB 2.0, Ethernet, Camera Serial Interface (CSI), Display Serial Interface (DSI)
• Dimensions: 82mm x 56mm x 19.5mm, 50g

From the above specification, you can observe that Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus (RPi 3B+) has a slightly faster the Broadcom processor (A 200 MHz increment in clock speed usually brings a significant performance increase.), but the real enhancement seems to be on on the networking side compared to RPi Model B. But if your system is already deployed using Raspberry Pi 3B you don’t need to upgrade it. it will work fine with the old one.

Discussion on 3B vs 3B+:

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus has 4 USB ports, an HDMI slot (which could be used to connect your HDMI display to raspberry pi), a 3.5mm audio jack, a micro SD card slot (which is used to store your operating system of choice), CSI camera slot, DSI display slot  and several of GPIOs same as Raspberry Pi 3 B model. Raspberry Pi 3 B plus (3B+) is available to buy in India at Circuit Uncle as soon as it is available internationally. From us you can also buy online in India, the Raspberry Pi Model B, which you can consider a light configuration version of upgraded 3B+.

Comparing 3B with 3B+ in Tabular form can help you to visualize the difference between them, which may be helpful for you to decide!

	Model 3B	Model 3B+
Processor	Broadcom BCM2837 SoC @ 1.2Ghz	Broadcom BCM2837 SoC @ 1.4GHz
Ethernet	100Base	1000Base
Wi-Fi	802.11b/g/n	Dual-Band 802.11ac
PoE	No	Yes
RAM	1GB LPDDR2	1GB LPDDR2
Ports	DSI x1, RCA x1, HDMI x1. USB x4	DSI x1, RCA x1, HDMI x1, USB x4

 

Further Verdict about Raspberry Pi 3B+:

With Raspberry Pi 3 B Plus you can run several Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Raspbian (Debian core) and Windows (You can always prefer RPi 3B or 3B+ as an upgrade from Arduinos because cannot install an Operating system in either Arduino Uno, Arduino MEGA2560 or Arduino Nano)! The size is almost a credit card and the location of the ports (except LEDs) is similar to old Raspberry pi 2 models such that the casing of Raspberry pi 2 could be reused in Raspberrypi 3B+.

Inbuilt WiFi and Bluetooth, reduces the requirement of an external WiFi and Bluetooth module. And gives you the ability to power more devices over the USB ports. All this makes Raspberry Pi 3B+ like its predecessor 3B excellent for IoT applications.
