I ordered a raspberry pi 2 model b on Ali and then a question about nutrition appeared. I just had a power supply for nexus 5 at 5V and 1.2A lying around, can you tell me if it’s suitable? If not, what do you recommend?

Depends on overclocking, peripherals, monitor usage, etc.

The board is powered, as before, via the micro-USB connector. The typical current is 800mA, but can be increased to 1200mA by using a more powerful adapter (recommended labeled 2A). The power consumption of the board itself does not exceed six watts and is usually kept in the 3-4 W range, which allows using only passive cooling.
