Trezor Model T Overview

Compared with Trezor One, Model T is similar, but there are differences. The Model T is much bulkier than its predecessor, but it's small enough to fit in your hand.  

The biggest difference between the two is that Model T uses a new screen, replacing the monochrome screen and two physical buttons with a color touch screen. In addition, Model T has a built-in SD card slot, although it is of little use at the moment.  

Currently, traditional mnemonic backup is still required. The device randomly generates 12 words, which must be recorded and kept safely. After Trezor malfunctions, users’ funds can be accessed and withdrawn using mnemonic phrases. Please note that once the mnemonic backup is lost, the currency cannot be retrieved.

Trezor Model T runs on open source firmware that supports thousands of currencies and tokens. Users can manage funds through the company portal, third-party computers or mobile apps. However, the Trezor portal does not support a few features offered by mainstream wallets such as Electrum (such as Bitcoin transactions using multi-signatures).

If the user chooses two-factor authentication, this wallet can also become another layer of security for logging in under the U2F standard. Importantly, it also acts as a password manager.

Summary

Trezor Model T follows the footsteps of previous generations of products and optimizes and upgrades. In 2018, SatoshiLabs added this new member to its product portfolio, successfully improving many of Trezor One’s features. With a color touch screen, SD card slot, and support for thousands of currencies, the Model T meets many expectations for a cryptocurrency hardware wallet.

Compared with minimalist hardware wallets, Trezor Model T has a smoother user experience and is suitable for users with sufficient funds.
