Ledger Unveils Bluetooth-Enabled Hardware Wallet

[PRIBO247]

Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger has unveiled its newest
cryptocurrency wallet. The Ledger Nano X is Bluetooth-enabled
and can hold up to 100 different cryptocurrencies at a time. A
mobile app is also being launched for both iOS and Android to pair
the device to smartphones.

Newest Ledger Wallet
Ledger unveiled its new cryptocurrency hardware wallet on
Sunday at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las
Vegas. The company then wrote on its website on Monday:

"The Ledger Nano X is Bluetooth enabled. Connect
it to your smartphone with Ledger Live Mobile app
and safely transact anywhere. All Bluetooth
communications are encrypted end-to-end to
protect against any security threat."

The new wallet has been redesigned and can be pre-ordered
starting on Monday. It is priced at $119 and is expected to start
shipping in March. The company will also launch a mobile app,
the Ledger Live Mobile, for both iOS and Android platforms.
The Nano X joins Ledger’s two existing consumer hardware
wallets: the Nano S and the Ledger Blue. The former currently
retails for $59 and the latter $269.99. The company claims in its
Monday’s announcement that over 1.5 million Ledger Nano S
devices have been sold worldwide. The Nano X is only available in
one color at present while the Nano S comes in six colors.
About Ledger Nano X

According to Ledger, up to 100 cryptocurrency apps can be
installed on the Nano X at the same time. The device also
supports over 1,100 assets with more to be added each month. In
comparison, the Nano S can simultaneously run up to 18
cryptocurrency applications with support for only 40 assets in
total.
Unlike its predecessor which draws power through a USB cable,
the Nano X has a 100mAh built-in battery to power it for wireless
use. Several security improvements are listed on Ledger’s website
for the latest model, and the company explained that private keys
stored on the new device are isolated inside its EAL5+ certified
secure storage chip.
With dimensions of 72mm x 18.6mm x 11.75mm, the Nano X is
shorter but slightly wider than the Nano S which measures 98mm
x 18mm x 9mm. However, at 34g, it is over twice as heavy as the
Nano S which weighs 16.2g.

Navigation on the new model is also improved due to its larger,
round buttons on the face of the device compared to two small
buttons located at the top of the Nano S. Ledger further described
that the new device has “Bigger screen for an improved
experience.”
