Pros and cons, side by side

Ledger Nano X

What works

  • Bluetooth and a built-in battery let you sign from a phone with no cable attached
  • Cheapest Ledger with mobile signing at $79, marked down from $99 on Ledger's own store
  • Keys stay inside an ST33J2M0 secure element certified to CC EAL5+
  • Proven in the field since it shipped in May 2019, with years of firmware updates behind it

What to watch

  • The 128 x 64 pixel screen turns checking a long address into a multi step scroll
  • Closed source firmware, unlike Trezor and BitBox
  • The battery is not user replaceable, which caps how long it stays useful for cable free signing
  • The optional Ledger Recover service introduced in 2023 drew criticism from users who object to any firmware pathway that can export an encrypted seed

OneKey

What works

  • Four signing models from $79 to $278, including a bitcoin-only Classic 1S Pure
  • Companion app on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and as a browser extension
  • Firmware and apps are developed in public on GitHub
  • Faulty devices are replaced rather than repaired, so no repair shop handles your hardware

What to watch

  • Not bitcoin-only outside the Classic 1S Pure bitcoin edition
  • Specifications vary widely across the range, so the brand name alone tells you little about the device you are buying
  • Researchers opened a OneKey Mini in 2023 with physical access and lab hardware, which OneKey patched but which is part of the brand's record
  • No published shipping country policy: the help center article that should carry one returns a 404
  • A shorter public track record than Ledger, Trezor or Coinkite
