Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

by Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 4 has up to 8GB RAM, a quad-core CPU, supports dual displays up to 4K resolution, Gigabit Ethernet, USB3.0, Wi-Fi, BT 5.0, and USB-C power. That's desktop PC performance!

The overall form factor remains the same, so you'll still be able to use HATs and pHATs as before, but due to the changes to the ports on the Raspberry Pi 4, we've designed a brand new Pibow Coupé 4 case in three fetching colour-ways. 

Features

  • 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU (ARM v8, BCM2711)
  • 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB RAM (LPDDR4-3200)
  • On-board dual-band wireless LAN - 2.4/5.0 GHz 802.11 b/g/n/ac
  • On-board Bluetooth 5.0, low-energy (BLE)
  • 2x USB 3.0 ports, 2x USB 2.0 ports
  • Gigabit ethernet
  • 40-pin GPIO header
  • 2× micro-HDMI ports (up to 4Kp60 supported)
  • H.265 (4Kp60 decode)
  • H.264 (1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)
  • OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics
  • DSI display port, CSI camera port
  • Combined 3.5mm analog audio and composite video jack
  • Micro-SD card slot
  • USB-C power

As always with new Raspberry Pi models, you'll need the latest version of Raspbian to run on your Raspberry Pi 4. We sell a pre-imaged 32GB microSD card separately, or you can get one with our fully-loaded Raspberry Pi 4 Essentials Kit.

Desktop-level performance

The faster 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU on the Raspberry Pi 4's Cortex A72 SoC, coupled with the up to 8GB LPDDR4 RAM give performance comparable to entry-level x86 desktop PCs. You'll see significantly faster boot speeds, and much better performance for CPU-heavy tasks like emulation and media centre usage; much snappier all round!

The Raspberry Pi 4 moves to USB-C power meaning that you'll need a new USB-C power supply that can supply 5V at 3A. We've got a couple of different options: a worldwide USB-C power supply, and the official Raspberry Pi power supply.

Significantly faster IO

The Raspberry Pi 4 has two USB 3.0 ports, for up to 10x faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0, perfect for connecting fast peripherals like SSDs and flash drives. There are also two USB 2.0 ports for connecting less speed-dependent peripherals like keyboards and mice.

The ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi 4 moves to true gigabit speed, for super-speedy wired networking and, as with the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, there's Power-over-Ethernet capability too (requires additional Raspberry Pi PoE HAT).

4K display support, dual micro-HDMI

There are dual micro-HDMI ports that support up to 4Kp60, to use your Raspberry Pi 4 with much larger displays with crisp, sharp, high resolution. Use the H.265 4Kp60 hardware decoding to watch 4K movies in your favourite media centre distro.

For the first time, you'll be able to use dual HDMI displays with the Raspberry Pi. This is great for working on a bunch of different tasks at the same time without having to work in tiny windows.

If you need a micro-HDMI cable to plug your Pi 4 into a display we've got you covered!

Bluetooth 5.0 and wireless LAN

The new chipset supports Bluetooth 5.0 (from 4.2 on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+) and also dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, like the previous generation Raspberry Pi, for quick wireless networking with less interference and better reception.

A bit overpriced in comparison of most other BME680 sensors available online but with this one, you're sure it's working with the Adafruit libraries. I had this issue when buying 2 BME280 sensors from China, one of the two was actually a BMP280 in stead of BME280 so, it couldn't work with the library even if written on the article description as compatible.

Love the BME680. Very easy to install and the Example files are great for getting started. Have found out from this Pimoroni Forum post : https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/bme680-air-quality-low/6293/9 that the whole AQ subject is very complex, however It's a really interesting topic and one that I am looking forward to understanding better! I'd assumed that it was only detecting VOCs (volatile organic compounds) but there's a hint that it might be detecting other gases. (I'm using a Breakout Garden pHAT with PiZero W, BME680 and 11x7 matrix to show an AQ score.)

I appreciate the thought put into the design of this board. It is nice that the pins line up with the GPIO, it’s easier to assemble and more presentable to have around the house. I also appreciate that their software has a “try” statement that looks for an Adafruit addressed chip as well as this Pimoroni one, since I have a mix of both around. Very good product, very much recommend it!

The board is high quality and easy to mount (on a featherwing proto) - note to Pimoroni (perhaps you could develop sensors already mounted on featherwing format?). The driver software is a little harder to get working than I expected - still can't see have to get the AQI (air quality index) as an output from the Bosch library or through the wrapper Adafruit library.

I am glad I lived long enough to see this awesome technology! I was a bit out of practice with the soldering iron but even I managed to sort out the connection to the Raspberry Pi. It is now being used to monitor the environment in conjunction with a ground source heat pump via Home Assistant. Thank you very much!

Very nice all in one sensor for most basic Environmental sensors. The Air Quality sensor (Gas Ohm resistance detection) does take awhile to stabilize (at least 20 min on first start, about 5 for ones after that). It might get better as I use it more, as I only used it for about 12 hours.

Up and running in minutes after a false start but recovered quickly owing the prompt technical support. Good excuse to refresh minimal soldering skills. Robust module supersedes previous models. Temperature (with humidity) sensors are a dime a dozen, the barometric sensor is an added plus but the air quality sensor is the deal breaker for the price.
