Choosing the Right Ledger Device for You
To decide which Ledger wallet best fits your crypto needs, consider the following factors:
Portability vs Display Comfort: If you travel often or want to use your wallet with a phone, Bluetooth + a larger screen (Nano X, Flex, Stax) may help. If you only use wired connections and prioritize simplicity, Nano S Plus does the job.
Number of Assets / Apps: If you plan to hold many different coins/tokens or install many apps, you’ll want devices with more memory. All newer models improve on the old Nano S limits. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}
Screen Type & Input Experience: Touchscreens (Flex, Stax) offer smoother UI; OLED or monochrome screens are more basic but tried & tested.
Security and Certification: All Ledger devices use Secure Element chips but some newer ones have higher certification or more features (secure touchscreens, NFC, etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}
Budget: Prices range significantly — basic models are more affordable, while premium models like Stax cost substantially more. Decide how much you’re willing to spend. :contentReference[oaicite:28]{index=28}
