Many people have messaged me asking which Hardware Wallet they should buy. There are many brands of hardware wallets to choose from, so I wrote this article to help you choose a hardware wallet that suits your needs.

👉If you want an overview first, I recommend downloading the comparison file here.

✅ Who is this post for?

Before reading further, I'd like to briefly explain that this article is suitable for beginners who are deciding on their first Hardware Wallet and want to know which features each model offers that might suit them. For example, beginners looking for an entry-level Hardware Wallet on a budget, or experienced users looking to purchase an additional one.

 

📍 Why choose OneKey, Trezor, Bitbox, Ledger, and KeyStone for comparison?

Because they are widely popular brands, and many models have similar features, making it difficult to decide which to buy. A comparison table might help clarify things.

👉 Start Hardware Wallet Comparison

When it comes to Hardware Wallets, many in the crypto community are familiar with brands like Trezor, Ledger, KeyStone, or newcomers like OneKey. For this Hardware Wallet comparison, I’ve chosen models that many people requested to be compared, based on a survey from my page. This article will compare 10 Hardware Wallet models from 5 popular brands.

Topics for this Hardware Wallet comparison

I’ve divided it into 8 main parts, using ✅ for features that are present or supported, and ❌ for those that are not. The 8 topics are:

1. Usage Support
2. Coin & Token Support
3. Battery
4. Connectivity
5. Firmware
6. Mobile App
7. General Information
8. Screen

 

Let’s start with topic 1.

1. Comparison of Usage Support

I chose usage support first because when selecting a Hardware Wallet, it's crucial to understand your own usage habits. For example, do you primarily use it on your mobile phone or desktop? Or what type of wallet functionality do you need?

To summarize this section, if you're looking for a hardware wallet that supports mobile usage and costs under 6,000 Baht, I recommend the OneKey Classic 1S and Keystone 3 Pro. If you primarily use a desktop, I recommend starting with the OneKey Classic 1S and Trezor Safe 3.

2. Comparison of Coin & Token Support

For those who don't understand the difference between Coin and Token, you can refer to this article. Many people frequently ask about Coin and Token support and if a specific coin is supported. All models mentioned in this article support Bitcoin. For Alt-coins (other coins or tokens), please refer to the table below.

To summarize this section, I do not recommend any particular model. Since each device supports different coins, if you need to store a specific coin, please check the official website of each brand to confirm before purchasing.

 

3. Battery Comparison

Having a battery means you don't need to connect a USB cable to another power source to use your Hardware Wallet, which also enables Bluetooth connection with mobile phones.

To summarize this section, the model with the largest battery capacity is the Keystone 3 Pro, which will last the longest compared to all brands. If you think the price is still too high, the entry-level option I recommend is the OneKey classic 1S.

To summarize, in this section, it is clear that the devices with the most diverse features are the 2 models: Keystone 3 Pro and OneKey Pro. The key feature is the QR scanner, which allows us to scan QR codes in Metamask or other wallets.

 

5. Hardware Wallet Software Comparison

Secure Element Chip and Open Source come first. Explained in simple terms:

Secure Element Chip is a design that makes Hardware Wallets more secure. The function of a Secure Element Chip is to store highly confidential information, which typically includes the Seed Phrase or Master Private Key.

Open Source refers to whether the Source Code that develops the Hardware Wallet is publicly accessible or not, to demonstrate transparency and allow everyone to collectively review the Hardware Wallet's Source Code.

Regarding the security of Hardware Wallets, security and transparency should come first. The admin would like to divide the opinion into 2 parts. The first part is the group that has disclosed their Source Code, which gives them more credibility than the other group. Therefore, I will only recommend those that have disclosed their Source Code.

6. Mobile Application

Having an Official Application on your mobile phone makes it easier to perform certain transactions, such as using some Dapps, quickly checking your portfolio, and receiving notifications for various transactions. However, even without the application, you can still check your portfolio or receive transaction notifications. We can also use other portfolio tracking apps available in the market.

In this section, I am not recommending any particular model. Only Keystone does not have an application and requires the use of third-party apps, such as Metamask, Rabby, etc.

7. CompareGeneral Information

This general information comparison will show that more features naturally come with a higher price. Therefore, you should choose based on your primary usage. This way, you can use it to your satisfaction.

From this table, I will categorize them into 5 brands based on the comparison.

The cheapest from OneKey is the OneKey Classic 1S. If you want to store long-term and use it with a mobile phone occasionally, this is the recommended entry-level model.

The cheapest from Trezor is the Trezor Model One. However, I would recommend stepping up a bit to the Trezor Safe 3 because it has a Secure Element Chip.

The cheapest from Ledger is the Ledger Nano S Plus. If you're starting with desktop use, this model is sufficient.

8. Screen Comparison

Many people prefer a larger screen so that when they sign a transaction, they can read it clearly. A larger screen is advantageous, but the price will also be higher than entry-level models.

From this table, it can be seen that the Keystone 3 Pro offers a satisfyingly large 4-inch screen, and the price is still in the mid-range.

 

Administrator's Short Summary

You can download a short comparison table here.

In my opinion, we should primarily choose a hardware wallet based on its use case. If you can't decide, I recommend starting with the entry-level models from each brand, such as OneKey Classic 1S, Keystone 3 Pro, or Ledger Nano S Plus.

If you ask me to choose one hardware wallet, I would choose the Keystone 3 Pro because I prefer using it with my mobile phone, and this model can also connect to Metamask on mobile. Plus, its price is not more than 6,000 Baht, which is not significantly different from the entry-level models from other brands. Therefore, it meets my usage needs. What about you? Which model do you think suits you best?

Finally, this article is quite long. Thank you for reading it through. I hope the tables in this article will help you decide when choosing your first or next hardware wallet.
