9.5/10 (Expert Score)
🥇 Product is rated as #2 in category Hardware Wallets

The Trezor Model T is the upgraded variant of the One, featuring a number of improvements whilst remaining completely open-source. The display is now a full colour touchscreen, with users able to enter their PIN/Passphase and enter device recovery directly from the device. It also supports approx. 600 more cryptocurrency assets than the One, for a total of 1649. Worth noting is the exclusion of a battery, which is noted to reduce overall lifespan of the wallet. Instead, users must power their hardware wallet by an external power source.

Security is clearly a priority, utilising 2FA, U2F, FIDO2 authentication, alongside GPG encryption. Whilst the password manager remains as encrypted storage on the cloud, the Model T also aims to implement an additional microSD card soon. Although there is no live support chat, their email response time is fair, with a detailed FAQ covering many topics. Trezor maintain a high level of transparency and undergo auditing by security researches; stated as having "nothing to hide from you and follow the open-source ethos".
