Same UE-family candidate, but 8 MB flash makes it a downgrade-risk option.
ESP32-WROOM-32UE-N16 replacements should be treated cautiously. Provided data supports same-series candidates, but no pinout is verified.
voltage ranges missing on most candidates
38-SMD string alone is not pinout proof
flash size and interfaces vary or are missing
N16R2 is not indexed
No verified pin-compatible replacement is proven by the provided fields.
Check ESP32-WROOM-32UE-N8 for lower-flash builds, or ingest N16R2 for a same-series PSRAM option.
Pinout and memory differences can break firmware or layout.
