giftdetect· the right gift in minutesFlipper Devices Inc. says its Flipper One project has passed verification by Kickstarter and its payment providers, and that only one button press remains before the campaign goes live. Founder Pavel Zhovner, who also created Flipper Zero, advised backers to register and update their credit card details in advance.
Shipping will cover the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Zhovner stressed that people outside these regions should not place a pre-order. Holders of pre-order coupons will receive an email with dates and detailed instructions.
Coupons and pricing
Flipper One is an ARM-based Linux computer built around the RK3576 processor, with 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 64 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. According to the project site, it starts at $379 plus the cost of the coupon. A $20 reservation coupon, limited to one per user, locks in the early price before the Kickstarter campaign opens.
The refund terms are simple: the money can be returned in full at any time before the coupon is used, and unused coupons are refunded automatically when the campaign ends. The team says launch was planned for November 2026, though timing is not guaranteed.
Why the coupon scheme exists
The company blames the ongoing global shortage and soaring prices of memory. Coupons let it gauge demand and buy components before the campaign. Zhovner says the project's margin is close to zero, and the team hopes to profit from sales after Kickstarter. He added that it is unclear when memory prices will fall, whether tomorrow or in three years.
Zhovner explained the $20 figure as a psychological marker of serious intent. Typically 20% to 40% of coupon holders never convert to a purchase, and at $1 more than half might drop out.
Flipper One was announced on May 21, 2026, and in July the team said buyers could add an optional SIM card with advanced features.
