Ledger, the famous hardware wallet as we know, has released a new hardware wallet mobile oriented in early 2019,that can be used with smart phone. At the same time, we also found another popular cryptocurrency hardware wallet, ELLIPAL, the first to launch the mobile hardware wallet in 2018, and has been shipped to more than 40 countries.

Read the details in the article of Coinidol dot com, the world blockchain news outlet: https://coinidol.com/crypto-hardware-wallet/

I didn't see any articles about ledger mobile hardware wallet.

I think we are inneed and samasung s10 also coming with hardware wallet but how much the wallet is secured when we are using it on mobile devices.

The very wallet that I know that ledger has launched lately is the Ledger Nano X.

AFAIK there's already an integrated wallet for that smart phone. With the ELLIPAL wallet that OP is discussing, I'm new to this wallet and it's the first time that I've heard it here in the forum. I googled few details and it was said that it was founded by 2017 and after whoising it, the details showed that their domain was created by 2018 and is about to expire few days from now.

Mobile oriented not their own mobile wallet hardware.Try to read up again about Ledger mobile oriented thing..

On topic, i cant really it consider to use a wallet which is actively connected to internet just like mobile phones.

Yeah, why not? In fact, our mobile phones are more safer than desktop since malware can't be easily drown, IMO, as long as you don't use public wifi then you're safe.


Oopps, hopefully they're now working on that.

The guy above is saying that mobile phone are as risky as using a pc because it can also connect to the internet  but i also agree on what you have stated .  mobile phones are more safer because they cant be attack by a virus  .

Meanwhile , we can still off our internet data or mobile data so that there is no potential risk that we face when we connect our hardware wallet to our mobile phone .

Using a public wifi is safe as long as you activate your vpn  .  so that no one can trace you   . there were also other apps to protect you from any risk when using public wifi .

I know I was interested in having my hardware wallet but can't seem to decide already knowing that if they ship it to my country, it will incur more fees like the OMB (Optical Media Board) permit or something. I don't want to experience the hassle there. Upon searching, I found that Ledger was already on pre-order (during February) and I checked now it says on the first week of April to be delivered. I think you will need it to be better for protecting your funds.

Not familiar with ellipal and it's the first time I heard of it.

Hardware wallets are great, it means that the computer can be compromised but they will not be able to steal our bitcoins. Personally i prefer trezor but ledger is also a good one

I know this that Samsung S10 offers new features and adds a crypto wallet on the device. this is new technology and great innovation. but for me this is too expensive and there are many other wallets that are cheaper than this. and security has been tested.

You can still lose your bitcoins or crypto due to various reason, like clipboard virus or something similar. Sure you might be protected to some degree but if you're not careful enough hardware wallet is still not enough to protect you.

Samsung or other phones is a waste of money imo, better stick with Ledger.

Of course, it is needed, as recently, all people do not have much time to sit at the computer, and the phone is always at hand, and the presence of a mobile wallet is nice.

If you can handle the possible risk then why not use? I agree into your points but if we do talk about cold wallets just like we have seen on purpose with hardware ones
then mobile crypto wallet isnt really belong to that category but would rather acts as a hot wallet than cold ones.

Correct, why would purchase $1000+ if you can buy way more cheaper.
