Ledger has long been a leader in making hardware wallet setup as simple as possible. With the new Ledger Flex and its E-Ink touchscreen, we believe they have made another significant improvement. Especially for beginners, onboarding and setup are now even clearer thanks to the large E-Ink touchscreen. The device is also more customizable and can display NFTs. In our view, the Ledger Flex currently offers the best value. Although the Ledger Stax is the new premium model, we personally preferred the Flex, even though it costs less. The Ledger Flex feels great in the hand and feels solid and high-quality. For those who don’t necessarily need an E-Ink touchscreen, the Ledger Nano series is still a solid choice. The Ledger Flex is our personal favorite and has replaced the Nano X for us.

Private key owner Private key owner The so-called “Private Key” is a unique sequence of numbers and characters and serves as the private key that grants you direct access to and control over your cryptocurrencies. The private key is used to sign transactions. Simply put, it can be seen as a digital fingerprint that proves you are the owner of the cryptocurrencies. If you store your cryptocurrencies in so-called “custodial wallets” (e.g., crypto exchanges), you do not own your private keys.	You (Non-Custodial)

User review summary for Ledger Flex

In summary, the Ledger Flex offers a premium design, high security standards, and user-friendly operation. It is particularly suitable for users who value sleek design and flexibility, but less so for those looking to manage many cryptocurrencies simultaneously. While the high price is seen as a drawback, the Ledger Flex overall impresses with its functionality and security.

Ledger Flex features

Features
Buy & sell Buy & sell Some wallets offer an integrated trading feature within the wallet, allowing users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly. Typically, this functionality is enabled through a connection to a crypto exchange’s web interface. The integrated trading feature in wallets offers significant advantages: cryptocurrencies can be purchased in the same place where they are stored. This eliminates the need to manually transfer cryptocurrencies from an exchange to your own wallet, saving both time and costs.	Yes
Staking	Yes
NFT integration	Yes
Two-factor authentication	Yes
Multi-signature	Yes
Backup Backup If your hardware wallet or device with the corresponding software wallet is lost or damaged, there is no need to panic. As long as you have your private key or recovery seed (also called “seed phrase”), you can restore your wallet at any time. The recovery seed is a combination of 12-24 words and is the most common backup method for wallets. Important: Keep your recovery words and private keys secret and never share them with anyone!

Secure elements Secure elements The so-called “Secure Element” is a chip (microprocessor) that stores your private key and is separated from the rest of the hardware. This special chip provides the hardware wallet with significantly increased protection against local, physical attacks. Depending on the chip, different levels of security are offered. Some chips can be compromised with less effort, while others require specialized equipment and are extremely difficult to breach.	ST33K1M5 (CC EAL6+)
