I would agree that it is overpriced, it seems like they want to charge for their brand name. Ledger helped them stand out with their incompetence, considering that they have long been two of the strongest brands in the HW industry.Advertising could be a new feature on Trezor Safe 5 to make users less stressed when accessing their crypto assets ^^
What I don't like is that I now have advertisements in the Trezor suite. ???

I hope nobody is actually buying this using their real addresses after the last Trezor hack that exposed customer information.I think that only email addresses and names are leaked recently, not addresses and other personal data, but I generally agree for buying any hardware wallets.
Now the Safe 5 might be decent, but past security mishaps make it impossible to not take at least a few precautions when you order it.I am waiting for Trezor Safe 7 and 9 8)
Trezor has introduced a new Safe 5 hardware wallet model, including a bitcoin-only version. It is priced at $169. The company also announced the launch of Trezor Expert, a series of courses for customizing hardware devices.Firstly I haven't used any hardware wallet due to all cryptocurrency and related devices are banned in my region And I think I won't be able to use any hardware wallet until my country legalizes this cryptocurrency. Because if it falls into the hands of the customs while importing from abroad, then on the contrary I will be in more danger.
P.S. Does anyone use this wallet? If yes, describe your experience of using it. Are you going to buy a new model?

Because if it falls into the hands of the customs while importing from abroad, then on the contrary I will be in more danger.I remember reading the same story in this forum, but I can't recall if that's you or not. Does your country's law explicitly ban wallet imports? What kind of sentence they will give you if you break the law? Before my country clarified its position on cryptocurrency, I saw a lot of people buy/sell hardware wallets with no issues. Not sure how other countries deal with that but I've never heard a trader get jailed because they own a crypto wallet. Then again there's no need to buy this new HW if you can build your own air-gapped device.
Advertising could be a new feature on Trezor Safe 5 to make users less stressed when accessing their crypto assets ^^It is Trezor Suite software, regardless of which wallet model you use. The thing is simple, I don't want to see any ads in the wallet software.
I don't think it's very expensive when compared with other hardware wallets, but it's nothing offering so much improvements to justify double the price of Trezor Safe 3.I don't know if there were additional changes in the security hardware on the new wallet and how much such a thing affects the price. Rather, I would say that part of the higher price is included in the marketing and promotion of the new product.

If you can better buy them in local shop and pay with cash, this way you won't leave any trace that you purchased it.

Already dkbit98 mentioned in his post that anyone who has a safe 3 wallet should not buy a safe 5.I would not buy it, but I am not telling anyone else what to do with their money.

The trouble is going to be finding a shop in your country that sells hardware wallets.You can literally find Trezor devices in almost every European country.

I followed the release of this new Trezor hardware wallet and for the price they are asking I don't think it is offering anything special compared to previously released Safepal Safe 3.I think that's too high a price to pay for a wallet like that. Although Leadger is not very safe and t.c., but the price for "Nano S" as much as 70-80 dollars, compared to Safe 5 - the difference is enormous. I'm thinking between these two giants.
Sure it has color touchscreen that is a bit larger and protected with gorilla glass, but there is no camera and QR code support.
For $169 they are asking for Trezor Safe 5 you can buy Keystone 3 and almost Passport by Foundation that are all airgapped devices.
If somene already owns Trezor Safe 3 they don't need to bother with buying Trezor Safe 5.
I am waiting for release of Trezor Safe 7 8)

I'm thinking between these two giants.You can't seriously think about Ledger after all. I remember that at one time it was much more expensive, obviously all the mistakes they made affected the price drop.

P.S. As always, overpay for the brand, or look for an alternative. As a Trezor user, what do you have to say objectively? ::)Objectively do as you like with your money, I am not going to waste anymore time on that.
