  • Our take on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Plus)

    The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the last revision of the Pi 3 line. It moves to a 1.4GHz quad-core chip, adds dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 and gigabit-class Ethernet with Power over Ethernet support through a HAT. It keeps 1GB RAM and the 40-pin GPIO header, so Pi 3 cases and add-ons still fit. Buyers pick it for retro gaming, media centers, home servers and classroom work where wireless reliability matters more than raw speed. The Pi 4 and Pi 5 are faster and have more RAM, but the 3 B+ runs cooler and draws less power, which suits always-on light tasks.

    Best forRetro gaming and emulation buildsMedia centers and lightweight home serversClassroom and first-time Pi projectsProjects needing stable dual-band Wi-Fi
    Pros
    • Dual-band 5GHz Wi-Fi is a real step up from the Pi 3 B
    • Gigabit-class Ethernet with PoE support via a HAT
    • Same 40-pin GPIO and footprint as earlier Pi 3 boards
    • Runs cooler and draws less power than Pi 4 and Pi 5
    • Broad software and accessory support
    Cons
    • 1GB RAM limits heavier desktop and browser use
    • No USB 3.0 and no true gigabit throughput on the port
    • Micro-USB power, not USB-C
    • No built-in PoE; needs a HAT
    • Superseded by Pi 4 and Pi 5 for demanding work

    What reviewers say

    • 5 / 540 ratings

    Owners rate it highly as a dependable, well-supported board. They like the 5GHz Wi-Fi and the familiar layout, and treat the 1GB RAM as the main limit.

    What people mention
    • WirelessPraisedOwners say the dual-band 5GHz Wi-Fi is a clear improvement over the Pi 3 B.
    • MemoryCriticisedReviewers note 1GB RAM limits desktop use and heavy multitasking.
    • CompatibilityPraisedThe 40-pin header and same footprint keep existing cases and HATs working.
    • NetworkingMixedEthernet is faster than before but does not deliver full gigabit throughput.
    • PowerMixedIt runs cooler than Pi 4 and Pi 5, but needs a solid 5V/2.5A supply.

    About the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Plus)

    The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the final revision of the Raspberry Pi 3 range. It has a 1.4GHz quad-core 64-bit processor, 1GB of RAM, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 and faster Ethernet. It keeps the standard 40-pin GPIO layout, so it works with existing Pi 3 accessories.

    The board has a full-size HDMI port with a VideoCore IV 3D graphics core, four USB 2.0 ports, a CSI camera port and a DSI display port. The micro SD card slot is now push-pull rather than push-push. Power over Ethernet is supported with a separate HAT.

    To run the board, you need a 5V/2.5A DC Micro-USB power supply and a micro SD card with Raspberry Pi OS. A keyboard and mouse connect through the USB ports, and a monitor connects with an HDMI cable.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Pi 3 B+ still worth buying?
    Yes for light, always-on jobs like retro gaming, media centers and simple servers. For desktop work or heavier projects, a Pi 4 or Pi 5 is the better pick.
    How is it different from the Pi 3 Model B?
    Faster 1.4GHz CPU, dual-band 5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 and faster Ethernet with PoE support. RAM stays at 1GB.
    What do I need to get it running?
    A 5V/2.5A Micro-USB power supply and a microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS. A case and heatsink are optional but common.
    Does it support Power over Ethernet?
    Only with a separate PoE HAT. The board itself has no PoE circuitry.
    Will my Pi 3 case and HATs fit?
    Yes. It keeps the same 40-pin GPIO layout and board footprint as earlier Pi 3 models.
    Can it run a desktop?
    It boots Raspberry Pi OS with a desktop, but 1GB RAM makes browsers and heavy apps slow. Light use is fine.
    Where is the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Plus) cheapest?
    At Richard Electronics, for $35.38, 16% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Plus)?
    Rated 5 out of 5 from 40 ratings.
