The product you’re suggesting is $1400, where as the zero sold for a 1/8 of that. Do we expect the Flipper One to have such a price hike as well?

Not to mention you'd need REALLY large and durable pants/shorts pockets to fit a 27cm X 5cm X 20cm device that weights more than 1.5kg (yes, kilos!) compared to what the Flipper One will end up being.

  I have the GPD Win Mini and it fits fine in my cargo pant pockets.

    How many people wear cargo pants or would be willing to switch to wearing them to carry a GPD Win Mini around vs. how many people would prefer a device that fits in any of their pockets? Look at the market share of phones vs GPD Wins and you'll have your answer

      Phones are primarily communication devices though, so they're not a fair comparison. As for cargo pants, that's usually what I wear (along with cargo shorts during summer) so I don't really see it as a problem - they're big, they're comfy, they've got big pockets - what more could a hcaker ask for? I mean, can you even call yourself a hacker if you always wear skinny jeans? Where/how would you carry all your essential gadgets?

        Are we gatekeeping being a hacker based on wearing cargo pants now? Such a weird point to take a stand on Phones have not been communication devices for a decade unless you want to extend the definition to social media and media consumption, in which case there would be little reason not to extend it to also cover what the Flipper One purports to support - not much of that is not covered by a phone

We don't know the cost of the One yet. Besides, the GPD can also be used for playing AAA games, and the keyboard makes it far more useful as a general purpose PC.

  my macbook can do that too, and is much faster! It's clear you want something else, go buy that instead of shitting on other projects maybe?

    A MacBook can't fit in a pant pocket though. The GPD can, well, at least in cargo pant pockets.

Flipper zero was an arduino with half a dozen sensor, radio and other communication modules. Flipper one is a laptop/mobile phone class system in weird form factor no doubt its going to be more expensive. No point even comparing them. You can't call it a price hike if it's completely different category of product. There have been plenty of openish tinkerer laptop/mobile phones projects to know that paying high end laptop price for a device with compute power of last generation raspberry pi is a likely outcome.

  TechCrunch is reporting that they're still aiming for a ~$350 USD price point, but I cannot confirm this myself https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/21/flipper-unveils-a-linux-powered-networking-gadget-built-for-hackers-and-tinkerers/ https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/21/flipper-unveils-a-linux-po...

  >Flipper one is a laptop/mobile phone class system This isn't true it's more like a modern Rasbperry Pi 5 level system with half single core performance and relatively similar multicore. The exciting thing about the system isn't the chip it's the connectivity, form factor and extra hardware around it. But let's not pretend it's comparable to the power of phones and laptops which are way ahead. Although with inflation and supply chain issues I'd be shocked if this ships under $450, but if they pull it off I think you'll get your moneys worth compared to comparable Pi setup.
