Ledger Stax looks really good but waaaay too expensive. Going from the small screen of a Nano X to a Flex would be just fine. But i'm sticking with the Nano X, for now.
my first device was a nano S....I quickly figured out how to use it but it always gives me anxiety. I recently went to use it and my pc id not recognize the device, and I have not been able to remedy that so it looks like the easiest fix is a new device and I am so relieved to see a secure touchscreen device with a full keypad and easy to use interface. being kinda new it gives confidence that I'm not going to mess something up
Just bought a Stax this evening that'll be here in a couple of days. This is my first foray into crypto, so I appreciate the video that has helped me navigate these fresh new fields I'm experiencing.
Nano X is all you need. Its easier to hide and carry due to it´s size. People talk about screensize, which is nice, i agree. But how often are you really gonna use the thing at all.
@@CatamaranChannel I agree that the Nano X is smaller and less noticeable. I was actually using my ledger Stax while I was getting my oil changed and the guy thought it was a phone. Everyone has their own case. I use mine quite a bit admittedly because I’m doing demos all the time, but I also use my device, pretty frequently just for its functionality. But some people use their device very rarely.

Enjoyed your comparison. I noticed that the flex has gorilla glass, is it actually more durable then Stax on the screen area only? As being less prone to scratches on the screen.
I did not notice that in the specs. Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't notice it when using the device though, until after you mentioned it. And then there is a definite hardness to the flex screen. I guess we could add more durable to the plus side of the flex comparison
@@danielsinn5190 You would have to restore one and then you could transfer the crypto wallet to wallet from the other one, but you cannot restore device with two different seed phrases. It just doesn’t work like that.
Rex what about storage size comparison how many coins will fit on both? If memory is not much perhaps ledger will make a larger memory one to force an upgrade
I did talk about the storage compared to the ledger Nano X, but it really wasn't pertinent to this video. (cut it for time) So I'll probably post that little segment tomorrow where I talk about the storage capacity and the reason why it's smaller than the Ledger Nano X. It's basically because they had to fit extra code on the secure element chip to power the screen. They're working with limited space because this secure element design is maximized for security. I think if they were to make another secure element that had more storage capacity, it would require a huge investment. We're basically talking about that little chip that you see in your ATM card or credit card. Just imagine trying to program an ecosystem on something that small.
It would definitely help. An Apple pencil would work pretty well if you had one laying around. However, that's an expensive solution. I think there might be other companies like Wacom that have styluses too.
Yes...all are the same ...this is probably a little safer do to the secure elment screen and clear signing ....no your screen cant show you a fake address as opposed to the older models which theoretically can evne though it never happens
I updated my nano x firmware and now my pin won’t work. I had a fresh nano x so i set it up with all the recovery phrases etc and then to xfer crypto it required firmware updates so i did all those but it locked that one too and it’s pin doesn’t work either! If I purchase one of these devices and use my recovery phrases will it work? I have a LOT of crypto investment. Please help!
Yes, all new models will work with your existing recovery phrases (all models work with recovery phrases vica-versa). But you can try before you buy a new a model, that you reset your actual nano x and set up again with your recovery phrases.
First we have to wait for almost 1.5 years for the Stax and once delivered to first users they do a magic trick at Ledger and the Flex comes out of nowhere! The exclusive feeling for the Stax is directly destroyed in my opinion… And the price should be about 40% cheaper for the Flex but no it’s just 50 dollars.
Crypto wise, not really. It's is just a much better interface. However, I don't believe the Ledger Nano X supports the NFC interface when you're using the Ledger security key app. So if you want to use your device as a pass key, the ledger Stax or Flex has additional functionality.
I have the stax on the way. Is there any downside to just doing a restore, or should I start new? I have been using ledger nano x plus for several years.
No there's no downside at all, restoring from a previous device. It's entirely up to you. Just make sure that that previous device's seed phase has never been exposed or pulled into a hot wallet in the past.
@@andreas_europe If your happy with the nano, don't get the over priced flex. I see no benefit if you're already set up. Plus, the memory on the flex is less that the nano S. I couldn't put all my crypto on the flex.
Yes, it's quite possible for a seed phrase to have a repeated word. I once had a seed phrase that had the same word in three different places. Very rare, but not impossible.
Yes it is sold separately. They sell this one on the Ledger website. shop.ledger.com/products/belkin-boost-charge/black But it supports Qi Wireless charging and there are lots of compatible chargers out there.
If you already have your crypto on a Nano S or X, what's the benefit of the Flex and Stax? The memory of the Flex is less than the Flex. I wasn't even able to install all my crypto on the Flex due to the small amount of memory. What am I missing?
Well, for me, it's the improved interface. I've used a ledger nano device for years, and I find either the Stax or the Flex to be much more convenient. That means a lot to me. If you're already comfortable with using your ledger nano device and you don't care about interface, then I guess there is no benefit moving to Stax or flex. Somehow I look at this question like "would you rather use a flip phone or a smartphone?" They can both make calls. I just remember how sending texts was really tedious on a flip phone because there were three letters on each key and on a smart phone you have a full keypad. So I kind of look at this in the same sense of upgrading the experience. Maybe you don't care about that, but I think a lot of newcomers that find the Ledger Nano too difficult to use, will appreciate the Stax/Flex interface.
@@CryptoDad Gotcha. I use mine to store crypto. I rarely move the crypto around. So, I guess if you’re constantly moving crypto, I could see the benefit.
@@bweber6256yes. On screens now because they aren’t secured you can put any information you want on the screen and have something different on the computer chip so I can show you your address on the screen for you to approve but send to another address. Does this happen? Probably never but it’s possible. Not possible on the new ledgers w the secured screen
Thanks for the review. Both are looking brilliant, but the stax i would say is pricewise a absolutely overkill for the average crypto investor. Only me 2 cents...
Yes, I totally agree. If we assume that the average cryptocurrency investor is only holding a few thousand dollars worth of crypto, then a $400 price tag is quite a chunk out of their investment. Best to put that money towards more crypto. However, if you're hodling more than a few thousand worth of crypto, it makes sense to protect that investment with a state of the art, easy to use device.
@@CryptoDadSo if own 5-10k worth of BTC and XRP and will be adding another $10k soon. Go with the Stax? I'm also interested in the Keystone 3, Tangem Wallet and Trezor Safe 5. I'm a day trader and just getting into crypto but have no cold wallet yet and would like to buy one today.
Both devices have the exact same amount of app storage: Ledger Stax & Flex App Storage: What's the Deal? 🧐💾 | The CryptoDad: ua-cam.com/video/cuGrOMdQpVA/v-deo.html
I spent some time with the team at Ledger during Bitcoin Nashville 2024, and they told stories about how customers would come to them and tell them that they needed their help extracting crypto from one of their devices. They said they had to tell them that they designed the device to specifically prevent that.
@@CryptoDad Ledger has very poor wallet security in case of seizure. Some wallets have a self destruct mechanism etc. There is another wallet which I won't mention which is 100% government proof which has no seed its a private key generator. I fear governments. I'm worried about my funds being seized. Pin code protection might prevent loss of funds from common criminals but not governments. I've seen in the media people's bitcoin seized in hardware wallets due to illegal activity, however it was once illegal to own gold. Our governments have gone rouge.
Basically interface. It's much easier to use. If you're comfortable with your existing device, then I guess you don't need it. Personally, I've been using these devices on a day-to-day basis years for now. I welcome the touch screen and would never go back to using a nano device. To me, it's like the difference between an iphone and a flip phone. Some people still like flip phones though.
Appreciate it for publishing this! Hoping for some help: My Crypto Wallet holds some USDT TRX20, and I possess the recovery phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. How to go about moving them to Bitget?
Gotta be honest the stax is a weird product….. they designed a product that literally stacks… but 99.8% of the customer base will only ever buy one. weird.
I got a Stax and I feel ripped off! It’s all fluff. The advertisement makes it seem like you can see your balance on the screen. Don’t buy a Stax get a Flex.
Ledger should say 'Thank You' to you- useless website they have to understand the differences between their products and I am an experienced user of Ledger. Thanks!!
Completely untrue. That is not how the ledger recover service works. And they have not circumvented the secret. There are countless videos about this subject matter. This whole idea that ledger devices are unsafe, cracked, or have a back door is old news.
@@CryptoDad Are you saying that it's impossible to circumvent the secret stored in the secure element with a malicious firmware update? I'm talking about what's technically possible, not if the company would do anything malicious.
Stax is way more expensive for really just a bigger screen. Who cares about the rest of that when it’s just used to store your keys? Who cares about wireless charging? And that stupid screen of the side of it is so pointless and impractical. Especially when you introduced the case that just covered it up anyway lmao. Just get a flex and save way more money for the same thing. Or if you don’t care about touch screen, just get the nano S or X. The Nano Stax is straight up an overpriced gimmick with the only ‘real’ upgrade being a bigger screen.
I'm not sure what the return policy is with Ledger. But if you bought it at Best Buy or Amazon, you might be able to get it returned within a short window.
@@MyTube4Utoo who prefers to wait 2 years for Stax and then have Ledger roll out a new device? Who prefers to have Ledger come up with a controversial crypto seed recovery option?
Everyone is different. But my opinion is, if you're holding more than a few thousand dollars worth of crypto, it makes sense to buy the best device you can find to keep it safe.
After all these years, this man is still and will always be my GO TO DAD!
Just got my Flex. Absolute game changer over the Nano! If you have a Nano very easy to swap to the Flex. Took me all of 10-minutes!

To me, it's like the difference between an iphone and a flip phone. Some people still like flip phones though.
@@CryptoDad Thanks for outlining your experience between the two!
I like more Tangem…
I had the flex the screen was to dim for me.. you couldn’t use it in a dark room.
Its an e-ink display.
Can you read a paper in the dark?
@@josepereira7025 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Appreciate it for publishing this! Hoping for some help: My Crypto Wallet holds some USDT TRX20, and I possess the recovery phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. How to go about moving them to Bitget?
Security Key app is used with cable and NFC, not bluetooth
Yes. Thank you for pointing that out. I misspoke during the video. I pinned a comment about it, but it probably got lost in the shuffle.
Gotta be honest the stax is a weird product….. they designed a product that literally stacks… but 99.8% of the customer base will only ever buy one. weird.
Yeah but with that price, you still not gonna have wide adoption
I got a Stax and I feel ripped off! It’s all fluff. The advertisement makes it seem like you can see your balance on the screen.
Don’t buy a Stax get a Flex.
It’s mind blowing how other hardware wallets in this category can have up to 3 keys / wallets at the same time yet ledger can only do 1. Over priced
only keystone ..which other wallet does that
@@BasilTreeMediamy keystone 3 pro sadly died in my hand mid transaction yesterday which is what led me to this video. Nobody is safe out here 😂
@@w0nkydoodle452you mean it doesn't work anymore?
Soooooooo many cold wallets……I just want the most secure device I can buy..
Ya $400 vs. $250. Rediculous prices.
Ledger should say 'Thank You' to you- useless website they have to understand the differences between their products and I am an experienced user of Ledger. Thanks!!
What is the benefit of a secure element if Ledger can update the firmware to circumvent the secret stored there? They've done it once before.
Completely untrue. That is not how the ledger recover service works. And they have not circumvented the secret. There are countless videos about this subject matter. This whole idea that ledger devices are unsafe, cracked, or have a back door is old news.
@@CryptoDad Are you saying that it's impossible to circumvent the secret stored in the secure element with a malicious firmware update? I'm talking about what's technically possible, not if the company would do anything malicious.
@@youtube-ventura its technically possible with all hw wallets that connect to an online app
Stax is way more expensive for really just a bigger screen. Who cares about the rest of that when it’s just used to store your keys? Who cares about wireless charging? And that stupid screen of the side of it is so pointless and impractical. Especially when you introduced the case that just covered it up anyway lmao. Just get a flex and save way more money for the same thing. Or if you don’t care about touch screen, just get the nano S or X. The Nano Stax is straight up an overpriced gimmick with the only ‘real’ upgrade being a bigger screen.
I got the flex. Now I'm kinda wanting the stax! Not sure if I can return my flex :(
Flex Is very practical but if you're not happy, return it while you can.
Flex is the best!!!
I'm not sure what the return policy is with Ledger. But if you bought it at Best Buy or Amazon, you might be able to get it returned within a short window.
Best to go with Trezor
It comes down to personal preference.
@@MyTube4Utoo who prefers to wait 2 years for Stax and then have Ledger roll out a new device? Who prefers to have Ledger come up with a controversial crypto seed recovery option?
i hate trezor...get a bitbox if you want a usb thumbdrive looking wallet
First comment
The Ledger Stax is $400 USD lol, whose paying for that? You'd need to hold multiple BTC to justify the cost
Everyone is different. But my opinion is, if you're holding more than a few thousand dollars worth of crypto, it makes sense to buy the best device you can find to keep it safe.
@ngrave. End of.
@@CryptoDad a few thousand bucks now ..a few hundred thousand backs later ;)
Stax looks pretty good but a bit overpriced.
Trezor Safe 5 is a better value. IMO
Trezor Safe five is also a great device. It also has a touch screen which makes it much more intuitive to use.
