Both of the above-mentioned chipsets are paired with an ARM Mali-400 GPU clocked at 400MHz (ODROID-U) or 440MHz (ODROID-U2), which can be overclocked respectively to 533 and 633 MHz.

Additional key specs include a heat sink, a microSD socket, eMMC connector, 2x USB 2.0 host ports, 1x USB 2.0 device for ADB/mass storage, ethernet – 10/100Mbps (LAN9730), micro HDMI video output, a 3.5mm Jack and digital mic (ODROID-U2 only).
