Are phones of the same model have different speculations? They can come in different colours but they are of the same speculations. So are the hardwar wallets that I have seen before.

Also you can check the hardware wallet speculations on the official sites.

There are 4 colors of the Safe 3 you mentioned and all 4 are exactly the same, only the color changes

There is one with the orange part that is only for BTC, but the others are all the same and have no difference, you can choose the color you want
I'd choose the all-black one, it's the one that draws the least attention and I like all black products

The only differences between the devices are in different models. For example, safe 3, safe 5 and trezor one (these models are different). The color scheme of the case is only necessary to satisfy the personal preferences of the buyer (and increase sales). Inside, everything is the same (within the same model range) and the paint of the case doesnt affect the performance of the device. The case (colored) is just a kind of "shell", where the main working part is inside under it.

However, it's necessary to take some time and check what your user preferences are. For example: Besides Bitcoin, I also hold altcoins to store... in this case, the models below should work well:

Trezor Safe 5 models:
Green Beryl | Violet Ore | Black Graphite

Trezor Safe 3 models:
Cosmic Black | Stellar Silver | Solar Gold | Galactic Rose

Now, if your case is the following: "I'm a maximalist, I hate altcoins and don't care about all that stuff, I only have Bitcoin and I'm sure this won't change in the future." Then, you're looking at the orange Bitcoin-only models, as shown below:

Trezor Safe 3 Bitcoin-only
Trezor Safe 5 Bitcoin-only

It's important to emphasize this well, because many users have color preferences and end up buying a product that wouldn't meet their needs, like getting a Bitcoin-only model when they like to store altcoins.

I agree with rdluffy, I think black color is less noticeable, so IMO it's more discreet if you need to bring it with you, and it's easier for hiding it efficiently at home. Besides they've all the same features so it's just a matter of taste in the end. You should keep in mind it's not just a fashion accessory though, it's a working tool able to contains large amounts of money. So except if you have only few funds to hold, it's better to choose it carefullly.

The colors you mentioned belong to its universal lineup, so there are no differences ^{[previously stated by other users]}, but the orange Bitcoin-only variant, on paper, tends to have a smaller attack surface ^{[in reality, there's little to no difference (especially if you use it with a passphrase)]}.

You have a point, but concerning Trezor products, Bitcoin-only variants don't come with any limitations for installing the universal firmware on these devices ^{[it'd only take a minute to switch them]}.

^{Just to clarify} I can buy the Bitcoin-only variant of Trezor Safe 5 and then update it with the universal firmware to support alts, right? I’m asking because my brother’s birthday is coming up and I’m planning to gift him this HW. The Keystone 3 Pro was a strong challenger but after some consideration I decided on the Trezor Safe 5 because it’s battery-free ^{which seems like a better option}.

That's correct... Unlike some of the other HW brands, Trezor doesn't impose such limitations on its users and for an official confirmation, you can refer to "this screenshot".
^{- If for some reason, the Switch to Universal button doesn't appear on Trezor Suite, you can follow "this video" to install a custom firmware or rather the universal firmware.}

Oh, that's really good to know! So if a customer regrets getting a bitcoin-only firmware product, he can just switch back to the universal firmware normally.

Assuming that Trezor provides the freedom to install your own firmware if you have the necessary knowledge, it makes sense that the bitcoin-only model supports custom firmwares, including the universal firmware (Bitcoin + shitcoins).
