The Flipper Zero, a popular hacking gadget, has just received a significant firmware update. This update brings a host of features that the developers have been diligently working on for the past three years, resulting in a substantial improvement in the device's performance. One of the most exciting updates is the enhanced battery life, which was technically introduced in a previous update. While some of the features may not be entirely new, the overall package transforms the Flipper Zero into a supercharged version of its former self. A key improvement in this update addresses a major challenge faced by the developers - the device's internal flash memory capacity. Initially, the device's memory limit restricted the addition of new features directly into the firmware. However, this limitation has been overcome with the introduction of an app store last year, allowing users to run new apps from a microSD card instead. Furthermore, the latest firmware update introduces support for JavaScript, making it easier for users to code their own apps. The NFC subsystem has been completely rewritten to support more card types and faster card reading capabilities. Bluetooth data transfer with Android devices is now faster, and firmware update speeds have increased by 40 percent. In addition to these enhancements, the new firmware also includes support for more IR protocols, expanding the device's compatibility as a universal remote control for TVs, ACs, audio systems, and projectors. Users can now utilize external infrared modules for longer transmission ranges. The Flipper Zero also offers the ability to listen to analog walkie-talkies and supports 89 different radio protocols with its sub-GHz radio. For improved sensitivity, users can connect the device to an external sub-GHz module. Overall, the latest firmware update for the Flipper Zero brings a host of new features and improvements that enhance its functionality and performance. Watch the explainer video below to learn more about the device's capabilities.
