The Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 is the ultra-compact single-board computer, now with a camera connector. At just 65mm × 30mm, it packs a 1GHz single-core processor and 512MB RAM into the smallest Raspberry Pi form factor.

This is the original non-wireless Pi Zero, ideal for embedded projects, wearables, and battery-powered applications where Wi-Fi isn't needed. Version 1.3 added a CSI camera port for connecting Raspberry Pi cameras.
