Verdict
In our overall rating Ledger Nano S Plus leads with 4.8 against 4.6 for BitBox02 Bitcoin.
For most investors Ledger Nano S Plus is therefore the better choice.
Alongside Trezor's Bitcoin-only devices, this is the first choice for Bitcoin purists in Europe – Swiss build quality, open source and a minimal codebase.
Our value pick: if you manage your coins mainly from a desktop, this is Ledger-grade security at an entry-level price. For many owners, leaving Bluetooth out is a security advantage rather than a compromise.
