Trezor Safe 5

The Trezor Safe 5 is Trezor’s color-touchscreen hardware wallet for use over a USB-C cable. Trezor released it on 14 June 2024. It pairs a 1.54-inch touchscreen and haptic feedback with a secure element certified to EAL6+, open-source device software and a choice of BIP39 or SLIP39 backups. Trezor’s comparison page listed it at $129 on 14 October 2026, between the Safe 3 at $59 and the Safe 7 at $249.

Who is the Trezor Safe 5 for?

The Safe 5 fits people who want to read and approve transactions on a color screen by touch and are happy to plug the wallet into a computer. On both price and screen size it sits in the middle of Trezor’s three current Safe models.

It is a weaker match if you want:

• the lowest list price: the Safe 3 keeps the same backup options with a two-button monochrome screen;
• no cable: the Safe 7 is the Safe model whose specifications list Bluetooth, a battery and Qi2 wireless charging;
• signing with no USB or Bluetooth link to a computer or phone: see air-gapped hardware wallets;
• multisig inside Trezor Suite: Trezor says Suite does not support multisig wallets directly; it works through compatible third-party software.

What is the Trezor Safe 5 screen like?

Trezor lists a 1.54-inch color touchscreen at 240 x 240 pixels, and describes “confirmation haptic feedback”, a tactile response when you confirm an action. By diagonal the screen is larger than the Safe 3’s 0.96 inches and smaller than the Safe 7’s 2.5 inches.

The body measures 65.9 x 40 x 8 mm and weighs 23 g. Trezor’s hardware security page says the Safe 5 uses USB-C for both power and communication. Trezor also lists a microSD card slot. A February 2025 reply on Trezor’s community forum, covering the models sold at the time, says Trezor devices are manufactured in the Czech Republic.

Is the Trezor Safe 5 secure?

Trezor documents two layers: a secure element listed as “Certified Chip EAL6+”, which its secure element page identifies as the OPTIGA Trust M (V3), and open-source device software. EAL6 is the sixth of seven evaluation assurance levels in the Common Criteria, Part 3, which lets a level be augmented by adding assurance components or by substituting higher-level ones; the ”+” refers to such an augmentation. Trezor’s secure element page says it covers protections against fault injection and side-channel analysis, without naming the formal assurance components. Trezor attributes the certification to the chip, not to the whole wallet.

The Safe 5 has one documented hardware advantage over the original Safe 3. In November 2024 Ledger Donjon, the lab of rival maker Ledger, reported that some Safe 3 countermeasures against supply chain attacks (in this case, tampering with a device before it reaches its owner) could be bypassed. Trezor’s disclosure states that the Safe 5 “is not affected” because it uses a more recent microcontroller.

The security history below this article also lists two phishing incidents involving Trezor’s support systems. The January 2024 one predates the Safe 5; the June 2025 one was a brand-level campaign, not a device flaw. Trezor restricted support-portal access and warned affected users after the first, and said the second was contained and the phishing site taken down.

Is the Trezor Safe 5 open source?

The device software is. Trezor’s security page says the software in Trezor devices “has always been open-source” and can be verified and built from the public code, so outside researchers can read what runs on the device. That statement concerns device software: we did not verify whether the design of the Safe 5’s secure element is open to review, and the Trezor pages we checked do not say whether the hardware design files are published.

How does Trezor Safe 5 backup and recovery work?

Trezor lists 12-, 20- and 24-word backups:

• 12 or 24 words follow BIP39, which Trezor’s backup guide describes as widely supported by other wallets.
• 20 words follow SLIP-39, built on Shamir’s secret sharing. This Single-share Backup is the Safe 5 default, according to the same guide. It restores only on SLIP39-compatible software or hardware, and the SLIP-39 specification says shares cannot be turned back into a BIP39 phrase.

If portability to other wallets matters most, the backup guide says you can choose a different format from the Backup format menu during setup in Trezor Suite. Trezor’s SLIP39 FAQ lists the Safe 5 among devices that support Multi-share Backup with firmware 2.7.2 or newer, where you create a separate set of shares and a chosen number of them, for example 2 of 3, rebuilds the wallet.

An optional passphrase is supported. Under the BIP39 design each passphrase produces a different wallet from the same words, so losing the passphrase means losing access to the funds behind it. More in our seed phrase guide and self-custody guide.

What coins does the Trezor Safe 5 support?

Trezor says the Safe 5 manages “1000s of coins & tokens” in Trezor Suite. We have not counted that list. A Bitcoin-only edition of the Safe 5 is also sold.

How much is the Trezor Safe 5?

Trezor’s comparison page listed the Safe 5 at $129 on 14 October 2026. On the same date the Safe 3 was listed at $59 and the Safe 7 at $249. Prices change, so check the date before relying on the figure. The trade-offs on either side are in Trezor Safe 3 vs Safe 5 and Trezor Safe 5 vs Safe 7; for a comparison with Ledger, see Ledger vs Trezor.

What we could not verify

• Battery. Trezor says the Safe 5 is powered over USB-C, but the pages we checked do not state outright that it has no battery.
• microSD slot. Trezor lists the slot; our records do not say what it is used for.
• Hardware design files. The Trezor security page we checked covers software only.
• Country of manufacture. The source is a forum reply, not a product page.
