Can someone please explain to me what's the point of Flipper Zero? In what way is it capable to do anything Android phones with custom software aren't?

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.
