Flipper One: a pocket cyberdeck aimed at turning networks into a personal PC

Flipper, the company behind Flipper Zero, unveiled Flipper One, a compact RK3576-powered network multitool that doubles as a mini PC. It aims to fix usability issues seen in tiny Linux boxes with a D-pad UI, potential Flipper OS and app store, and support for multiple user profiles. The device promises Wi‑Fi 6E, Ethernet, and 5G via modules (M.2, eSIM, or SIM), plus a PCIe expansion slot, and is sized around one-and-a-half fists. It’s not for sale yet but is expected to launch on Kickstarter later this year with a target price around $350. Flipper positions the One as a more open, configurable “cyberdeck” companion to Flipper Zero.

The platform has returned to a narrow policy banning pornography and illegal content, but notes that Stripe can still suspend campaigns even after Kickstarter approves them. Stripe did not comment.
