The Safe 7 scores at the top of the Trezor family because it is the top of the Trezor family: the deepest hardware stack, the only auditable secure element in the industry, fully open firmware, and the best screen and mobile experience the brand has shipped. The January 2026 laser attack on TROPIC01 is disclosed above because a review selling the open chip owes you the open chip's public record, and that record is favorable. The flaw was found by expert adversaries with lab gear, published by the vendor, contained by the layered design, and never endangered funds. What keeps the score out of the 8s is value and the new radio. At $249 the upgrade over the $129 Safe 5 is real but marginal for typical users, and Bluetooth is a convenience bought with attack surface. If those two points read as acceptable, this is the most transparent hardware wallet money currently buys.
