Cypherock X1 is a hardware wallet with a great and practical design. It has a high-security level with no seed phrase vulnerability (it uses a Shamir Secret Sharing cryptographic technique to split the private key into five parts), decentralized private keys, and geographical distribution of the keys. The transaction process is simple and secure. It has 3-factor authentication (the device, an X1 card, and a PIN). Also, the security is bank-grade certified and the device components do not have hardware vulnerabilities. The firmware is foss and is reproducible. It can be bought with bitcoin and supports thousands of altcoins On the negative side, the cySync app offers a not-so-good functionality in buying, selling, and trading assets. Also, the device is a little bit fragile because of its plastic design (it needs a hard case to prevent damage from an accidental fall. The company offers an excellent hard case that protects against drops and electromagnetic waves but costs an additional $75). It is incompatible with other wallets; the screen is small and has no micro SD backup.
