Hundreds thousand people bought trezor from the official store https://shop.trezor.io/
But you can read a lot of comparison between nano and ledger, trezor with a good security measure compared with nano that supports various altcoin. Which is best? When nano already exploited and hackers able to use it to steal all of user's amount.
Trezor such a perfect hardware wallet.

This question has been asked many times at this section  Alternative clients. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=37.0) It's unfair to say that it's safer to have ledger nano s than trezor. Both does have their own good security and recently there has been an issue with ledger because of a re-seller scammed and fooled one of his customers and robbed his entire life savings but this is not the whole thing with nano ledger s. I have nano ledger s and there's no problem on me since I started to use it, there's no perfect system but it all depends to the user on where he is convenient.

Both of these uses similar tech and hardware but I still prefer Ledger as it has a better reputation and it did not have a precedent of hack.

If you google trezor hacked.. u will find discussion about trezor. FUD or not, I leave it to you to comprehend.

But if you google ledger hacked, you wont find any news of it ever happening prior..

Teardown of both the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor (well... it's more focused on electronics):

Trezor:

Ledger Nano S:

Conclusion:
Both are secure.

I'm using a Ledger Nano S as it supports more currencies.



I have chosen Ledger Nano S just for the same reason, it supports more currencies, plus the fact that is was sensibly cheaper than Trezor.

MORE SECURE? TREZOR or NANO LEDGER?

Lately there were one issue with some malware that replace your sending address into attackers one and Trezor handled it better. That is why I voted for Trezor.   I own only LEDGER, but probably will buy Model T when available.

Ledger nano s is support more coins that trezor and is less expensive. but for me the safest wallet to store coins is the paper wallet lol.
