Beautiful display quality
The IPS panel has great viewing angles and color accuracy. I'm using it for a portable art device, and the capacitive touch makes drawing intuitive. Battery life is decent when optimized.

Good for learning computer vision
As a beginner, I found this board a bit challenging to start with, but the community examples helped a lot. The touch screen works well once calibrated. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn edge AI.

Robust for prototyping
We used this for a quick industrial monitoring prototype. The dual-core processor handles multitasking between the display update and sensor reading without lag. The USB-C port is a nice modern touch.

Great hardware, documentation could be better
The build quality is solid and the screen colors are vibrant. However, finding specific pinout diagrams for the camera interface took some digging in the wiki. Once set up, it runs MicroPython flawlessly.

Excellent value for money
I've used several ESP32 boards, but this one stands out because of the integrated high-res display and camera. It saves so much wiring time. The WiFi connection is stable even with image streaming.

Perfect for IoT Vision Projects
This board is exactly what I needed for my smart home camera project. The OV5640 camera quality is surprisingly good for the price, and the capacitive screen is very responsive. Setting up the ESP-IDF was straightforward.
Q: Does this board support Face Recognition out of the box?
A: The hardware supports it via the OV5640 camera and ESP32-S3 processing power, but you will need to implement the face recognition algorithm using ESP-IDF or a third-party library like ESP-WHO.
Q: Is the screen resistant to scratches?
A: The screen has a standard glass cover suitable for development and indoor use, but it is not made of hardened Gorilla Glass. We recommend applying a protective film if used in rugged environments.
Q: Can I power this board with a LiPo battery directly?
A: No, there is no built-in charging circuit for LiPo batteries. You should use a regulated 5V power source or a separate battery management module connected to the 5V pin.
Q: Does it come with a case or enclosure?
A: No, this package includes only the development board. Cases are available separately from Waveshare or you can design a custom 3D printed case using the provided dimension drawings.
Q: What is the maximum resolution for video recording?
A: The OV5640 sensor can capture still images up to 5MP. For video, it typically supports up to 1080p at lower frame rates or VGA at higher frame rates, depending on your code optimization and PSRAM usage.
