“1200 seems too high for a phone, so I bought a raspberry Pi and attached a 4G module now I can make calls and browse the internet”…

    Battery? A pi zero phone is a thing that works

      I had no idea. Google tells me there is a sub-Reddit for it! r/ZeroPhone: ZeroPhone - a Raspberry Pi smartphone

iPhones aren't sitting unused in a drawer forgotten like 99% of Flippers. There's nothing differentiating or polished about clicking one button versus clicking a different button to clone an RFID tag. I'd rather have cheapo version of 1 time use gizmos.

  Is this really the case? I would think there would be a mobile app interface for flipper?

    You are correct, there is a mobile app interface for it. You can check firmware version and device status, update it, have access to file manager, can backup keys, read logs, reboot, speed/stress test, and probably do a lot of other things that I am not aware about.

      Any app run on the Flipper Zero can be run and interfaced with from the mobile app. It works quite well.

    > I would think there would be a mobile app interface for flipper? If you want to interact with the software on flipper zero you have to use the "remote" app (or whatever) on the phone. It kinda sucks though because it literally acts just like the physical device. If you wanna type a filename out and think having a full keyboard like on your phone would make that task easier... it doesn't. You are stuck using the fake "buttons" to move the cursor around to each letter just like you would on the device itself.

  For me the appeal of Flipper Zero is the mythical rare day when it becomes useful in an emergency, and until then it can stay in my draw peacefully.

    There is another possibility: that the Flipper gets an update with the order of a government. For example, to reprogram or shutdown electrical systems in the house. And then it will be a day to remember :D

Or just one of the hundreds of equally capable reasonably priced phones.
