Verdict
In our overall rating BitBox02 Bitcoin leads with 4.6 against 4.2 for Trezor Model One.
For most investors BitBox02 Bitcoin 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.
The classic still does its job, but it shows its age: no secure element, no touch input, fewer supported coins. For newcomers we would point to the Trezor Safe 3 or Safe 5; the Model One remains a cheap secondary wallet.
