Verdict
In our overall rating Ledger Nano S Plus leads with 4.8 against 4.6 for Ledger Nano X.
For most investors Ledger Nano S Plus is therefore the better choice.
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.
If you manage a broad portfolio and want to reach your wallet from your phone, the Nano X remains a first-choice device in 2026. If you have no use for Bluetooth, the cheaper Nano S Plus gives you virtually the same protection for a fraction of the price.
