Verdict
In our overall rating Trezor Safe 3 leads with 4.8 against 4.2 for Trezor Model One.
For most investors Trezor Safe 3 is therefore the better choice.
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.
The clear recommendation for cost-conscious open-source fans: modern secure-element protection at a low price. If you want the comfort of a touchscreen, step up to the Safe 5.
