Banana Pi is a single-board computer made in China. It can run Android, Ubuntu and Debian. Raspbian can be run, though the CPU complies with the requirements of the Debian armhf port.[1] It uses the Allwinner A20 SoC and as such is mostly covered by the linux-sunxi port.
Banana PI is the open source hardware platform which published to assist the Elastos.org open source OS, Banana PI M1 is the dual core Android 4.2 product Banana Pi series run Android, Debian linux, Ubuntu linux, Raspberry Pi image and cubieboard image. Elastos coordinate multi CPU to from the family cloud enertainment which based on the “software/hardware service”.
Features
Banana PI hardware: 1Ghz ARM7 dual-core processor, 1GB DDR3 SDRAM, Banana PI with Gigabit ethernet port, SATA Socket. It can run with Android 4.2.2 smoothly. The Banana PI M1 is credit card sized, it can easily run games, it supports 1080P high definition video output, the GPIO is compatible with Raspberry Pi and it can run the ROM Image directly.

GPIO specification Banana Pi 26-pin GPIO Banana Pi has a 26-pin GPIO header that matches that of the Model A & B Raspberry Pi. 
Banana Pi has no direct relationship to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, though its similarities are clear.[4] "Linux user & Developer" does not consider it a "direct clone, but a considerable evolution," whilst linux.com similarly sees it as a clone with improved performance.[5][6] The board layout is very similar to the Raspberry Pi board, though it's about 10% larger and the relative spacing of some connectors varies. Not all Raspberry Pi accessories will fit as a result.

BPI-D1
The BPI-D1 is the smallest open-source development board around, with a built-in HD mini camera. At 36mm (w) x36mm (l) and weighing in at 10g, it’s much smaller and lighter than any mini-cam or camera board out there. It allows you to create and customize your own mini-cam and can be a valuable part of any cool hardware you are working on. The D1 prides itself on providing high-resolution image quality: Both video and photos are captured at 1280x720p with a video capture rate of 30 fps.
The BPI-D1 is designed specifically to give you all the multimedia tools you need in one small package. Simply connect to an external battery source (with your desired power capacity), and the D1 does the rest: there’s a HD mini-cam, audio sensor, microphone, CPU, GPIO, WiFi, and more - you name it, the D1 has it.
Banana Pi R1
The BPI- R1 is a 300Mbps Wireless N Router with both wired and wireless network connections designed specifically for smart home networking use. With 2T2R MIMO Technology and two detachable antennas, the R1 is the dual core Android 4.2 product which more better than Linux product. It can run with Android4.2.2smoothly and with Gigabit ethernet port, SATA Socket, it can easily run with the game and support 1080P high definition video output.

Banana Pi PRO
The Banana Pro is a credit card-sized and low-power single-board computer developed in China by the LeMaker Team, with the intention of promoting the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) education in schools.
The Banana Pro has an Allwinner A20 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-core (ARMv7-A) 1 GHz, Mali-400 MP2 GPU and 1GB DDR3 SDRAM. It uses a microSD card for booting OS and also has a SATA 2.0 interface for connecting a hard disk to get more storage space. Compared to the Banana Pi, the Banana Pro adds an on-board WiFi 802.11 b/g/n AP6181 and integrated composite video and audio output into a 3.5 mm TRRS jack to get more space for making 40 pins extension headers.
