Trezor Safe 5 (successor to Model T) Review
Replaces the discontinued Trezor Model T. The Model T (launched 2018) had a color touchscreen but no dedicated secure element; the current Safe line (Safe 3 / Safe 5) adds an EAL6+ secure element while keeping open-source firmware. Trezor's official lineup as of 2026 is the Safe 3, Safe 5, and flagship Safe 7.
