    It’s a toy for people who are interested in hacking/pentesting. Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone, but without the toy like aspects.

    Tbh you can do literally everything that a PC can with a phone. Doesn’t mean that a phone is the most fun to use for whatever you’re trying to use it for.

      “Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone”

      No, you can’t do everything with a phone. A phone doesn’t have the same radios, GPIO for expandability, IR transceiver, etc. Not to mention the radios a phone does have doesn’t like it when you start forcing it to do fun things.

        *You can do the same things if you add extra hardware to a phone.

        It’s cheaper than buying a flipper zero and especially if you only want one feature. But a Flipper zero is just convenient I guess
