1. Banana Pi :
Banana Pi is a single-board computer that is used to serve as a competitor of Raspberry Pi. It provides an open-source platform that runs an open-source operating system. This device runs Android 4.2 which is considered better than Raspberry Pi. With its advantage in the operating system, it is capable to run a light game on HD. This is used by developers who need high computation with open source support.
2. Raspberry Pi :
Raspberry Pi is also a single board computer but this used to enable the people to learn new languages at a minimalistic cost. It is a device that supports Python language and it is used to do anything that a computer can do keeping in mind the processing. This is highly used by computer developers who need computer supports at a low cost in several projects
