Device Spotlight: Flipper Zero

Dubbed the Multi-tool device for Geeks the Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool for geeks in a toy-like body. It was first announced in August 2020 through the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in which it raised 4.8 million and only some 18 months later the first devices were delivered to its backers. 

One of the biggest questions we all have is ‘What is the Flipper Zero and what does it do? Well in Flipper Zero’s own words – The Flipper Zero is a tiny piece of hardware with a curious personality of a cyber-dolphin. It can interact with digital systems in real life such as access control systems, RFID, and radio protocols and can even debug hardware using GPIO pins. 

The Flipper Zero has a sub-1 GHz Transceiver so it can be used to operate smart sockets & bulbs, IoT sensors & doorbells and open and close Garage doors!

The Flipper Zero is a versatile tool for hardware exploration, firmware flashing, debugging, and fuzzing. It can be connected to any piece of hardware using GPIO to control it with buttons, run your code and print debug messages to the LCD display.

Let’s take a look at some of the Flipper Zero’s technical's below.

You can watch some of the first Flipper Zero’s getting unboxed and initial impressions on YouTube and for the more experienced Flipper Zero users you can take a look at the NFC & Sub GHz Testing.

The Flipper Zero comes with a 1.4-inch display which we recommend adding a bespoke tested and fitted screen protector too. You can buy a clear Nano glass screen protector for the Flipper Zero.
