You will not believe that after I built this, I couldn't find the main board. It is too small. And you can make a android version of it simply. I spent about 15$. So, let's build it.

A little amount of materials will be needed.

  1. Raspberry pi zero
  2. A sd card, minimum of 8gb
  3. HDMI screen with HDMI to mini HDMI cable
  4. 5 volt adapter
  5. USB sound box.
  6. Keyboard and mouse and usb hub.

All things cost 20$

Now, input the sd card with card reader in your pc. Use SD CARD FORMATTER to write it on the sd card. The best way is to follow README.txt to write and install raspbian os.
