On paper, yes. Pretty much all of the necessary technology (and then some) can be found on an average smartphone. The Flipper has a few important differences but function-for-function they're pretty analogous. In practice, there's a lot of roadblocks in the way of doing that. Phone manufacturers are very stingy with their wireless modem firmware (mostly due to FCC compliance) so they're loathe to give users more control over their radio emissions. If you did manage to get your phone into a Flipper-compatible state, it would almost certainly be against the wishes of your OEM and OS developer. So... I am being a bit smarmy. Technically phones have mostly similar hardware, but they run different software and try their damnedest to keep it that way. It's usually not that big of a deal either, since WiFi and Bluetooth cover a wide enough variety of use cases to keep most devs/users happy. It is a bit funny to think that the only thing enabling the Flipper is less compliant software though.
