Verdict
In our overall rating Trezor Safe 5Bitcoin leads with 4.6 against 4.2 for Trezor Model One.
For most investors Trezor Safe 5Bitcoin 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 most consistent choice for bitcoiners: the same hardware as our Safe 5 test winner, but with minimal firmware. If you only hold BTC, this cuts your exposure without costing you anything in usability.
