"The CAD files put it at 152.6mm wide, against the Zero's 97.5mm, a difference that becomes viscerally obvious in photos. The front face alone tells you what this device is for: a wide display recess for the 256×144 screen, four function buttons, a D-pad with integrated OK button, a dedicated joystick, and a lanyard/carabiner loop suggesting field carry over pocket carry."
"The repository breaks the enclosure into three published parts. The body is the main shell containing everything: display, controls, electronics. It ships as a solid exterior with an intentionally hollow interior in the public files, meaning Flipper is sharing enough geometry for accessory makers to work with while keeping the internal mechanical layout proprietary."
"These are not arbitrary design choices; every split in the enclosure reflects a specific problem someone ran into during prototyping and solved deliberately. The modular back plate represents a fairly new (and exciting) direction for the Flipper One."
A prototype of the Flipper One has been 3D printed based on CAD files publicly released by Flipper Devices on Github. The device measures 152.6mm wide, substantially larger than the Flipper Zero's 97.5mm width. The front features a 256×144 display, four function buttons, a D-pad with integrated OK button, a dedicated joystick, and a lanyard loop for field carry. Internally, it houses a Rockchip RK3576 SoC running Linux, an M.2 slot for modular radios, and dual-processor architecture. The published enclosure comprises three parts: the main body with hollow interior, a modular back plate covering the M.2 expansion port, and an antenna rail bracket. Design decisions reflect solutions to prototyping challenges, such as the separate antenna rail preventing connector damage during assembly.
