Trezor Safe 3 (trezor.io)

There's a new Trezor HW wallet available. It's a long awaited refresh of the original Trezor One. Two buttons, one screen, USB-C, and a new chip that makes it tick. Now with 100% more secure element!

They also offer a new cold storage solution - https://trezor.io/trezor-keep-metal . The form factor is similar to cryptosteel, but the mechanism of entering the seed phrase is different. You punch a bunch of holes in the metal plates. Depending on what material is used, I'd say it's much more fool proof compared to cryptosteel. If an unsuspecting nocoiner opens it, there is no risk of them just spilling all the letters out and financially ruining the whole family in the process.

I knew this was too good to be true. The reason Tropicsquare is not mentioned anywhere is that the secure element is "OPTIGA Trust M (V3)" from Infineon. Additionally, it doe's not even protect the keys. Just the PIN. More info in official documentation - https://trezor.io/learn/a/secure-element-in-trezor-safe-3

edit: It also takes care of the device authentication, so you can verify your device really came from Trezor.

As most trezor fans know, Tropic Square is the company established by the Satoshi Labs founders, to create the first ever opensource secure enclave chip. There must've been some setback, because the new Trezor is even featured on the Tropic Square website
