Flipper One: Next-Gen Device Promises Linux & More

The Flipper One is emerging as a successor to the highly regarded Flipper Zero, promising substantial advancements for security researchers and enthusiasts. This new device is designed to focus on higher-level networking, incorporating modularity and extended I/O capabilities. It will feature a dedicated HDMI port supporting 4K 120Hz, NVMe SSD support, and integrated WiFi 6E alongside dual Ethernet ports, distinguishing it from the Flipper Zero's physical layer focus.

The development team is committed to fostering a robust open-source ecosystem for the Flipper One. They have established a developer portal and are actively engaging with end-users and developers, with plans to hire a dedicated manager. This initiative aims to build strong community rapport from the outset. The Flipper One will run a full Linux kernel, simplifying development and utilization of its expansion slots compared to the Flipper Zero's customized FreeRTOS.

Leveraging a co-processor architecture, the Flipper One utilizes an octa-core ARM-based SoC as its primary driver, complemented by a low-power microcontroller for ancillary functions. This design ensures efficient operation for various tasks. The company is collaborating with partners to ensure a fully functional open-source stack at release. Pricing details are not yet public, but it is expected to be significantly higher than the Flipper Zero's $200 price point.
