Editorial assessment
In this direct comparison, Trezor Safe 5 and Trezor Safe 7 are two hardware wallets from the same touch line. Both are USB devices with Secure Element, documented open source firmware and SLIP39 backup; Air gap is missing on both. If you already use Trezor Suite, you are comparing a brand upgrade - not Ledger against Trezor. The features table below separates connection, display, assets and RRP; it does not replace a hands-on examination before purchase.
Trezor Safe 5 is the more compact model: touch display, USB-only, multi-asset according to the catalog (Bitcoin, Ethereum/EVM, Solana). Bluetooth is missing on the device - mobile signature runs via USB on the smartphone. RRP EUR 169 in the catalog. Anyone who signs on the computer and prioritizes the lower list price will find the slimmer profile. Details: Trezor Safe 5.
Trezor Safe 7 adds Bluetooth alongside USB and lists at EUR 249. Touch, secure elements and SLIP39 remain. The manufacturer’s quantum-ready claim concerns its security design; it does not establish a different backup format here. For mobile signing, check Bluetooth compatibility and battery requirements in your own setup, not just the feature row. More context: Trezor Safe 7.
There is no overall score: Safe 5 suits USB-only use and a lower list price; Safe 7 suits Bluetooth and mobile use. The assessment follows the catalogue entries without ranking the products.
