Flipper Unveils New Flipper One Modular Linux Cyberdeck
Flipper Devices has unveiled Flipper One, a modular Linux cyberdeck aimed at becoming a fully open, mainline-first ARM platform for hackers, researchers, and makers The company says the new device is not a successor to Flipper Zero, but a separate Layer 1 product built for IP networking, high-performance computing, and expandable hardware experimentation. At the center of Flipper One is the ...

So, what is the Flipper One? The Flipper One is an open -- and when Flipper Devices says open, it means it: full mainline Linux kernel support, absolutely no binary blobs, closed drivers, proprietary firmware, or vendor-locked board support package -- high-performance Linux platform that can form the basis for pretty much anything that you want it to do, from a network analyzer to an SDR (software-defined radio) to an offline AI or LLM project. Think full-on pocket computer. Doing all this demands power, and the Flipper One has it. Inside, there's a high-performance 2.2 GHz octa-core RK3576 chipset that features a Mali-G52 GPU and an NPU capable of 6 TOPS (trillion operations per second), allowing you to run local LLMs (large language models -- one of which will be a Flipper One-specific LLM for using the tool). This chipset is fully supported by Linux, and there's 8GB of built-in RAM to handle the operating system and apps. The Flipper One is powered by two processors. Flipper DevicesAll this power in a device that sits in the palm of your hand. But there's more. Running alongside this main chip is a secondary dual-core Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller for handling the basic tasks of the Flipper One, including the display, button interface, touchpad control, LEDs, and power subsystem. In fact, if you don't want to run Linux, the Flipper One can run entirely on the RP2350 chip. This makes the Flipper One a very power-efficient device when it's not running Linux. There's a lot of hardware packed into the Flipper One. Also: If you like your Flipper Zero, then you'll love thisEverything from a 1.4-inch screen, a touchpad, a five-button D-pad, and an M.2 slot that can accept a range of hardware, from cellular or satellite modems, SDR modules, and SSDs (NVMe or SATA) to AI accelerators and Wi-Fi cards.

The Flipper One: Hacking Gadget is Becoming a Pocket Linux PC
The Flipper Zero was never really about “hacking” other people’s devices; its true value was helping owners understand how secure their own devices actually are. It allowed enthusiasts to find weak spots and think like a hacker to understand how an attacker might exploit or misuse common tech, like RFID cards, rolling codes, replay attack, bad USB, or remote controls. But while the Flipper Zero is a fantastic starting point for learning cybersecurity, it has its limits. To do more advanced work, you often have to connect to extra hardware for things like Wi-Fi or stronger radio. This is why the Flipper One is such a massive leap – it isn’t just a sequel; it’s appears to be a full-blown pocket Linux computer. The Hands-On Reality: It’s Massive Since Flipper Devices published the full mechanical enclosure files for the Flipper One on GitHub, I couldn’t resist printing a prototype model to see how it actually feels next to the Flipper Zero. After holding the 3D-printed shell, my first takeaway is that the Flipper One is massive—it moves away from the “pocket toy” feel and is more like a chunky smartphone. It’s clearly designed for “field carry” on a lanyard or carabiner rather than just slipping into a jeans pocket. What’s New in the One? The One introduces a dual-processor architecture, where a secondary chip handles the interface and buttons while the main octa-core chip runs the heavy Linux workload. You also get much more sophisticated controls, including four function buttons, a dedicated joystick, and a capacitive touchpad with gesture support. Connectivity is a huge leap forward: it has onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you don’t need to bolt on extra dev boards. What is Missing from the Zero? To avoid the regulatory bans, airport seizures and legal export issues that hit the Zero, the Flipper One removes built-in support for Sub-GHz, NFC, RFID, and Infrared. These radios are now moved to optional plug-in modules. The Hardware: Flipper Zero vs. Flipper One The biggest difference is the shift from a simple microcontroller to a full-blown Linux PC. While the Zero was built for simplicity, the One is built for power.

The Company Behind the Flipper Zero Hacking Tool Is Making a Cyberdeck
The PC doesn’t feel personal anymore. That was the all-too common sentiment Flipper co-founder and CEO Pavel Zhovner shared with Gizmodo as he talked up his company’s latest device, a “network multitool” called Flipper One. In effect, it’s a small PC built to be as customizable as you need it to be. If you’re the type to read Gizmodo, you’ve probably seen enough cyberdecks around that you’ve imagined building your own small, cyberpunk-flavored computer. Flipper wants to get you halfway there with the help of a single-board computer and a dolphin mascot aiding your journey into network computing. Flipper’s last device was a big “f*** off button” called the BUSY Bar, but the company’s big claim to fame is the signal hacking device called Flipper Zero. By comparison, Flipper One is meant to be its own beast, or at least a sidekick to that device’s NFC and low-level RFID connectivity. In a video interview with Gizmodo, Zhovner said that the goal of this new gadget was to fix many of the personal bugbears he had with other DIY computers. Mainly, he doesn’t enjoy the one-cable power connection requirement of a Raspberry Pi-based device. The Flipper One is billed as a networking multitool, but it’s a full-on computer. © Flipper He also found that many cyberdecks running open-source operating systems based on Linux often required a mouse or trackpad to click on teeny tiny images on a phone-sized screen. As such, Flipper designed the Flipper Zero so that users could navigate it using a simple D-pad interface and several programmable buttons. While the team’s still working out the layout of the UI, Zhovner said the device could also support its own Flipper OS and app store, just like Flipper Zero. The company is sharing its entire development process online and asking its community to share ideas. The Flipper One is running on a Rockchip RK3576 processor, which Zhovner said was better than a Raspberry Pi 5 in multi-core CPU performance, even if it was slightly worse in single-core settings. Flipper is building this device for networking or IP-based communications, though that’s just its base level functionality. If you were trying to add a screen to your router or reconnect your hotel internet to get the best speeds, the Flipper One could be an ace in the hole. And if all that fails, it could potentially act as a power bank for your other devices, at the very least. © Flipper © Flipper Flipper also wants to overcome one of the main issues with small-scale Linux de...
