The Trezor Safe 5 is here—the newest model from the original hardware wallet producers, Satoshilabs, in Prague. 

Why should you choose the Trezor Safe 5 over its “cheaper” little brother, the Trezor Safe 3?

While both Trezor Safe 5 and Trezor Safe 3 are excellent hardware wallets, the Safe 5 offers several distinct advantages tailored to specific user needs. Let’s take a look!

While the security model of the Trezor Safe 5 is comparable to that of the Trezor Safe 3 (both use a secure chip element), the Trezor Safe 5 is the “premium model” that boasts additional features, making it smoother to use on a daily basis.

Although the cheaper Trezor Safe 3 is a solid choice as a hardware wallet, “heavy users” who utilize crypto daily might benefit from opting for the more high-end Trezor Safe 5.

The color touchscreen and the Trezor haptic engine (which provides vibrations upon usage) make navigation a much smoother experience, at which point the significant extra cost might be justified.

However, if you’re a less frequent user and/or have more economic considerations in your gadget purchases, the Trezor Safe 3 remains a very good choice.

As with all Trezor models, the Trezor Safe 5 is a multi-coin wallet, allowing you to store and transact with hundreds of different cryptocurrencies and tokens.
