How is the OrangePiZero3?

I want to buy the OrangePiZero3, because even though it has a 4-core arm A53 CPU, it is very cheap, but i am worried about chinese product quality, can anyone who has user experience advise me on this matter?

it's suck!

I bought the 2GB RAM version, but it frequently crashes after booting because it can't find the 2GB. I had to modify the boot file to force it to use only 1GB. This is due to an inherent defect in the AllWinner 618 CPU it uses. Another problem is that the official images are outdated. The only good news is that the images provided by Armbian are available, and even the community edition is much better than the official one!
