We love Raspberry Pi Zero W, but in case you need to use the GPIO for prototyping and IoT project, soldering the 40-pin GPIO might be a challenge, especially for newbie. With single core 32-bit processor and 512MB of RAM, Raspberry Pi Zero WH is cheaper than any Arduino controller board with 32-bit processor, and it comes with WiFi and Bluetooth ready. It is super worth to own this super single board computer.
Raspberry Pi Zero WH offers all the benefits of the Pi Zero W, but with pre-solder 40-pin GPIO. It seem simple improvement, but if you do not have soldering gun and tools, and you need to access the GPIO, you will appreciate it. It comes with a BCM43143 WiFi chip and with pre-solder 40-pin GPIO it is closely similar to the Pi 3 model B, with smaller size and lower cost! There’s also Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on board making the Pi an excellent IoT solution (BLE support is still in the works, software-wise). Let's see the introduction from Raspberry Pi Magazine team:
As many of you know, the Raspberry Pi Zero WH alone is not really useful, you need additional accessories to get it running :) At least USB adapter and microSD card is a must. So we help to package this starter kit with:
