Trezor Safe 7 - My honest review (+ why Prague gets it) +Trezor Safe 7 Pre-Orders open

Prague taught us: if you don’t control your money, you don’t own it. Trezor Safe 7 is built for that principle — pre-order now, limited initial stock.

Hi

I’m really glad you decided to join us in Prague (or online). Prague is a place that remembers why money matters - a memory that explains why so many of us obsess over custody. As the keynote put it:

“Imagine you wake up one day and all your savings are gone.”

That line - short, brutal, and true - is why I care about hardware wallets. So when Trezor announced the Trezor Safe 7, I dug into the details.

Quick verdict

Trezor Safe 7 is the most serious & usable hardware wallet Trezor has made. It blends real, auditable hardware security with wireless usability and practical futureproofing. If you care about holding your own keys and not trusting custodians, this is worth a close look.

Why this matters (short)

  • Transparency as security — Safe 7 ships with the Tropic 01, the first auditable secure element. That flips trust from “take our word for it” to “verify the silicon.”

  • Real resilience — Dual secure elements + hardware-enforced PIN tries and physical tamper detectors make physical attacks far harder.

  • Usability without compromise — A wireless-first design (protected by a dedicated Trezor Host Protocol), big readable screen, wireless charging, and an LFP battery built to last.

  • Practical futureproofing — Post-quantum signatures on the bootloader & device authenticity checks give you an upgrade path as cryptography evolves.

Hands-on highlights

  • Tropic 01 auditable SE: NDA-free, inspectable hardware so security researchers can test and publish findings openly. This is structural — not just marketing.

  • Dual-SE + hardware PIN: PIN attempts are limited by hardware, not software — meaning brute-force protections are tougher to bypass.

  • Wireless (with control): True Bluetooth convenience protected by Trezor’s custom protocol — but you can still use USB-C if you want full physical control.

  • Build & battery: Metal unibody, big 2.5" color touchscreen, Gorilla Glass, IP54, and an LFP battery (4× more cycles / slower self-discharge). Designed to be used and stored safely for years.

  • Ecosystem: Reworked Trezor Suite, an open SDK, WalletConnect & integrations so the device can remain the single source of truth as you interact with dApps.

Pros & cons

Pros: Auditable silicon, stronger physical security, wireless convenience, long-life battery, PQ-preparations, attractive price for the tech ($249 / €249).
Cons: Wireless always introduces more complexity (but Trezor added layered defenses); the device is premium, so accessories will be extra; some users will prefer a minimal “cold” workflow over wireless.

Who should pre-order

  • People who take self-custody seriously and care about verifiable security.

  • Anyone who wants a usable hardware wallet for mobile/dApp access without leaving custody to a third party.

  • Long-term holders who want a device built to last.

Scarcity & timing — why act now

Trezor opened pre-orders and noted production is ramping; shipping is expected in roughly four weeks. For a device with this engineering depth, initial pre-order allocations tend to sell quickly — especially the premium accessories and the Bitcoin-only variant. If you’re convinced, it makes sense to secure a pre-order now rather than wait.
