The creators of the Flipper Zero \u201cportable multi-tool device for geeks\u201d have announced the Flipper One. This new pocketable gadget hugely expands the original’s feature set with compute, modularity, and expandability to make what is claimed to be a different category of device. The Flipper One isn\u2019t actually ready yet, though. Instead, the Flipper Devices team is asking for help from the community to help steer and finesse the final stages of Flipper One development to meet their ambitious goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlipper Zero taught us how much you can do with a tightly scoped, open product and a community that pushes it further than you can,\u201d said Pavel Zhovner, Co-Founder and CEO of Flipper Devices. \u201cFlipper One is what happens when we apply the same approach to a much bigger problem \u2014 building a fully open ARM Linux device that doesn’t go obsolete the moment it ships. To be honest, it\u2019s hard, and we can’t do that alone, which is why we’re opening the development process from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before we go on, the team wanted to stress that the Flipper One isn\u2019t an upgraded Flipper Zero. They assert that \u201cFlipper Zero and Flipper One are completely different projects built for different tasks.\u201d However, after digesting the announcement material, we\u2019d probably sum up that the Flipper One is a device that adds a very useful chunk of Linux compute to the geek multitool form factor established by the Zero. Whatever the case, the Flipper team has created a side-by-side infographic to compare the two devices, and we\u2019ve embedded that below.<\/p>\n

Key to the Flipper One\u2019s expanded abilities are the inclusion of an Arm processor capable of running Linux with about the same performance level as a Raspberry Pi 5, according to the press release, plus the addition of modular M.2 expansion capabilities. These are big additions, and at this stage, the Flipper team…<\/p>\n
