Verdict
In our overall rating Trezor Safe 5Bitcoin leads with 4.6 against 4.2 for Trezor Model T.
For most investors Trezor Safe 5Bitcoin is therefore the better choice.
Solid, but superseded by its own successor: the Safe 5 adds a secure element and a more modern interface, often at a comparable price. The Model T mainly makes sense if you find it discounted.
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.
