Flipper Devices has announced Flipper One, a new Linux-powered networking gadget aimed at hackers and tinkerers. Unlike the Flipper Zero, it focuses on network connectivity with 2x Gigabit Ethernet, USB Ethernet (5 Gbps), Wi-Fi 6E, and an M.2 port supporting 5G modems, SDR modules, AI accelerators, and NVMe SSDs. It runs an 8-core RK3576 chip with 8GB RAM and a Mali-G52 GPU plus NPU for local AI models, alongside a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller for UI and power management. The company worked with Collabora to push RK3576 support into the mainline Linux kernel. Planned features include a custom FlipperOS with profile-based configurations, a FlipCTL interface for small LCD screens, and the ability to use the device as a router, VPN gateway, Linux desktop, or media box. Many software components are still conceptual, and the base model is expected to cost under $350.
