Flipper Devices , known for developing the wireless communication hacking device ‘Flipper Zero,’ announced on May 21, 2026, that it is developing ‘ Flipper One ,’ an IP communication hacking device equipped with a Linux-based OS.

Flipper Zero, developed by Flipper Devices, is a device that supports wireless communication such as Bluetooth and infrared communication, and has gained popularity because users can add their own functions and use it for a variety of purposes such as ‘remote control for electrical appliances’ or ‘unlocking NFC-enabled door locks.’ On the other hand, because of its high degree of freedom, it can also be used for dangerous purposes such as ‘ disabling iPhones ‘ or ‘ destroying electricity meters ,’ and its trade has been restricted in some countries.
This is what the newly developed Flipper One looks like. It features a black-based color scheme.
The Flipper Zero was a device based on a low-power microcontroller, primarily designed to hack offline wireless communications such as NFC and infrared. On the other hand, the Flipper One features a high-performance chip capable of running local AI and runs a Linux-based OS, primarily designed to hack IP connections such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 5G, and satellite communications. For this reason, the Flipper One is positioned as a product in a different category rather than being a successor to the Flipper Zero.
The Flipper Zero is designed to be operated entirely using the physical buttons located on the device itself.
It features two Ethernet ports capable of 1Gbps communication. It also includes a built-in wireless chip compatible with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E. Furthermore, it supports Ethernet connectivity via USB cable.
The operating system is a new Debian-based OS called ‘
Flipper OS ‘ currently under development. Flipper OS adds a snapshot layer called ‘profiles’ to Debian, allowing users to switch between multiple environments without performing a clean OS install. Furthermore, the UI has been optimized to allow various operations to be performed without connecting a mouse or keyboard.
A key feature is that it incorporates both a CPU for advanced processing and a low-power MCU. The CPU is the ‘RK3576,’ and the MCU is the ‘RP2350.’ It can also be used as a standalone MCU without booting Flipper OS.
The RK3576 also has a built-in NPU and GPU, making it possible to run local AI models. The development team has indicated their commitment to working with the community to develop dedicated AI models optimized for operation on the Flipper One.
The Flipper One’s functionality can be enhanced with M.2 compatible expansion modules.
For example, it is envisioned for applications such as ‘connecting an M.2-compatible satellite communication module to enable satellite communication.’
A GPIO module can also be installed.
It also features an HDMI port, so it can be used as a ‘portable TV box.’
Furthermore, the USB Type-C port supports DP Alt Mode, allowing you to create an environment where you can output video from a Linux desktop, charge the battery, and connect a keyboard and mouse via a monitor, all with just one USB cable.
All parts information for the Flipper One is publicly available, allowing you to freely customize it yourself.
Furthermore, a user-driven development community called the ‘Flipper One Developer Portal’ is also available.

Furthermore, Flipper One aims to be a ‘truly open ARM Linux system.’ Existing ARM Linux systems have the problem that ‘the chip specifications are not completely open.’ The development team cites the ‘unknown specifications for the RK3576’s DDR trainer’ as the biggest obstacle, and is asking the community to contribute by ‘finding a way to persuade Rockchip to release the RK3576 specifications.’
