I have the ledger nano S and what really frustrates me, is that there is not enough space. It only supports 3/4 coins at a time.......... I dont know if trezor has the same problem, otherwise maybe you should consider trezor

I heard trezor have enough space but its not as secure as ledger is.

Yeah your right i heard trezor news before that someone hack their hardware wallet but i think they already fix and update the latest firmware of the trezor.. But i can be still worried about how they are secured compare the ledger nano s that i still didn't heard that someone hack their wallet. . So for me right now until no bad issue about ledger nano s i suggest to choose ledger nano s than trezor. But in terms of design trezor is awesome..

Decided to end it with zer0 profit.

Design doesn't matter, all I concern about is security. Moreover, ledger support more alt coins than trezor but it has less space.

Each trezor is over $90 right now (the latest one) and it depends on where do you live. In a 3rd country, each trezor could be sold at more than x3 of the oficial price. Both are secured and the only significant difference is its design and price, so in the end it depends in your personal preference.
And in my opinion, the ledger nano is muuuch more better than the trezor wallet, only because of the design and the hardware. Maybe the trezor is very handsome, but you must know that it is more flexible than the trezor and it can easily be broken, and it is not happening with the ledger. Obviously that if you take care of both, there is nothing of what you should be worried about. But i am talking about LONG TERM.. that is why the ledger is the best one for me (and it is less than $69)

Both are good wallets but majority prefer to have ledger nano s but when it comes to security, you don't have to worry with any of them.

Both are good and both supports more than only Bitcoin. It all depends on what you like, I like the Ledger Nano S as it is easier to use and to setup and is more newbie friendly compared to Trezor. Beside that Ledger Nano S is also newer than Trezor , it has been realised some time after the Trezor was already out.

I have my ledger nano S and don't have any issue about it, it's easy to use and much better it's cheaper than the trezor, tho my first choice is trezor but when I got my ledger I changed my mind and don't want trezor anymore since at that time trezor hardware was hacked but the only thing about ledger is it doesn't have larger memory to store some apps as mentioned few post/s above.

Hello,
Looking to buy a HW wallet, which one is best by all means, which also support alts.
Trezor or Ledger Nano S?
I have ledgerwallet and I am very content with it. There was a recent hardware exploit that took advantage of a design flaw in a chip used by trezor. Trezor has patched this with a firmware update, but keep in mind that it was a hardware problem patched with firmware. I am not sure if a similiar exploit can resurface. There is no known attack for the ledgerwallet, and they use a different chip than trezor.

I currently own a trezor only because of the period it has been around. Ledger is also a better product and it's most likely that any new coin would be integrated faster in ledger than trezor and ledger has better durability as well.
Trezor has a more like a old school design they did finally release a new model after years which looks decent and is more durable than the previous nevertheless i would say buying anyone wouldn't make a difference but buying none is not recommended.

But I heard that trezor hardware was hacked so its not safe.

It's a glitch as they like to name it, which even if so, is a horrible flaw. I read that there is a simple version, which in order to obtain all sensitive data that isn't meant to leave the device itself, requires an entity to obtain your hardware wallet physically to get it disassembled, and a more 'advanced' way where disassembly isn't required. In both cases the hack is only viable when an entity has managed to obtain your device physically. It can't be done through the internet or whatever. In other words, for one aware of how to utilize this hack, your hardware wallet doesn't offer you any security over a paper wallet containing your naked private key. Not sure if the newer devices being shipped still have this flaw on board, but it's definitely concerning.

Those were old news, anyway, trezor firmware is not safe enough if you are looking to hold more than a whole bitcoin in there. Yeah your right i heard trezor news before that someone hack their hardware wallet but i think they already fix and update the latest firmware of the trezor..
I have a ledger, for me, it is much more safer than the trezor, and it is more pretty! if you are a man, it makes you look like a rockstar, haha, just kidding. So for me right now until no bad issue about ledger nano s i suggest to choose ledger nano s than trezor. But in terms of design trezor is awesome..
But yes, the ledger has/support a lot of coins compared to the trezor.

Not sure if the newer devices being shipped still have this flaw on board, but it's definitely concerning. On top of this, anyone thinking that both of these "advanced" methods would not be achievable by thieves need to realize that rather than average people, these thieves are hackers who most likely know their way around both the software and the hardware of a Trezor. Furthermore, if someone who was non-technical managed to get hold of your Trezor, they would not need to know any technicalities to steal the contents provided that they can access the internet, and by extension, a more technical person who would be able to do it. It is truly no different than a paper wallet in this sense.

Either of them will be better than any of the desktop wallets. I have a Trezor personally but would probably recommend a Ledger due to it not being as expensive. If you are holding a large amount of Bitcoin then you need one of these to assure that you never lose them through hacks.
