Verdict
In our overall rating BitBox02 Multi leads with 4.8 against 4.2 for Trezor Model One.
For most investors BitBox02 Multi is therefore the better choice.
Our under-the-radar pick from Switzerland: a genuinely well-thought-out backup concept (microSD rather than a paper seed alone), open source, and set up in seconds. If your focus is Bitcoin, the even more stripped-back Bitcoin-only edition is the better fit.
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.
