Where can I read more about hardware wallet? I want to buy one for myself but I don't know which one is the best, I want the best among others, which one is your number one ranking hardware wallet?

I don't know if you need it for storing Bitcoin or BTC + shitcoins, but there is no one universally best hardware wallet for everyone,
ideally hardware wallets should be open source, air-gapped, and constantly tested by users and security experts for bugs and flaws.
It's best to stay way from closed source devices even if they are popular, like Safepal, Ellipal and Ledger, and choose something like Passport, Trezor (it's now on discount), Bitbox , etc
or just make your own hardware wallet using ESP32 devices or RapsberryPi (SeedSigner).
Try to buy wallets in official resellers and with cash whenever you can to avoid your information getting leaked (it happened several times already).

As said, best is subjective. It depends greatly what you want.
A comparison is made in 26 Hardware Wallets, compared feature by feature but it still misses some.
You can look there and pick one by the features you find important.

For me the memory is not the important, I can uninstall apps / install as needed.
For me having a display is very important.
I rather have no battery on device than one with chances to be faulty (see Ledger Nano X Battery Pandemic).
For you altcoins may not matter.
Secure chip may or may not be important.
Open source may or may not be important.
Price can also be a factor.
Also make sure the HW you pick works in your country (eg Arculus works now only in US).

Just to mention that, in the case of Ledger hardware wallets, the popular Nano S model is actually not in production anymore (*), although it may well still be found at stores here and there (see this post for example of the matter). It will still have support for now, but in anyone is pondering buying a Ledger device, the Nano S model should not be on the table now, being Nano S Plus and Nano X the options from Ledger really.

(*) Not being in production does not equate being discontinued, as there is still product support and firmware upgrades.

Ledger Nano X has many issues faced by the people like the battery not being charged properly and some other bugs which have let the people change it so wanted to ask has you faced any such issue in the wallet?

Since I bought the Nano X in 2020, I haven't had any problems with the battery. And hopefully, in the future, there will be no serious problems. I even use the Ledger Nano X more often than the Trezor T. The battery in any device has a lifespan. When that happens, at least the Ledger Nano X can still be used even if you use a cable.

The Ellipal Titan is the best hardware wallet, do not let anyone tell you something else, I've watched countless of YouTube videos about the best hardware wallet and nothing beats Ellipal Titan, it looks more like an Android phone and it's more easier to operate than the rest, security wise it's even better, do your own research using Youtube or Google search engine.

Do you already have the hardware wallet (Ellipal Titan)?

In choosing a hardware wallet, I usually see reviews not only of its advantages but also of finding out what its weaknesses are.

I've had that model for several years and I haven't had any problems, and I think that most of those who bought it back then didn't have any problems - although I remember one of our members who even then had problems with the battery, which discharged very quickly.

....the best one are Ledger and Nano but depends on the coins you want to hold in your walllets.

I assume you wanted to write Ledger Nano, because Ledger is a company that produces (or has produced) models called Nano S, X, and S Plus. All three models should have support for the same coins, at least that was the case for S and X, and I doubt that S Plus has something that the previous two models do not have in terms of additional support for some new coin. The difference is in the internal storage, which only allows you to have more coins apps at the same time on X and S Plus than on S.

I only own a Ledger wallet and the older one, the S and I don't have plans yet of buying the newer one since this old hardware wallet I've got is still working perfectly.

There's only a few of hardware wallets that are known, coldcard, ledger, trezor and keepkey.

On the https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet?step=5&platform=hardware there's also another one, the bitbox02 but I haven't used it but only Ledger.

The most common are Ledger and Trezor wallets.

So do you think those who are shilling those scam wallets on YouTube with paid promotions are exactly telling you the reality? See don't know if you are truly believing them what these YouTube shillers are telling people or also one of the paid actor to promote the wallet because have never seen anyone saying it's safe wallet because the best one are Ledger and Nano but depends on the coins you want to hold in your walllets.

Just as most of the members have advised to go for ledger nano or trezor as wallet that have multiple crypto support including bitcoin and some and you may also choose to go with bitcoin only supported hardware wallet, this is now your choice to made the decision to what you want, and be careful bnot to give your information on the occasion of making the purchase should in case KYC may be required from the merchant you're buying from.

You are either a complete ignoramus or you work for them if you make such a statement publicly. What you consider to be the best has already been hacked and in a very trivial way, so there is nothing good in all of this except a low level of security, suspicion, and high risk.

You watched the review of Ellipal Titan on YouTube. Is the wallet reviewed to be open source? Knowing the source code of hardware and any other wallet should first come your mind. Ellipal is a close source wallet. There are several open source hardware wallets that are available.

First of all, I will advice you to go for open source hardware wallet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-open-source-hardware-wallets-5288971

The best I have known are Trezor, Keystone and Bitbox02.

Bitbox02 is good, but I do not like it because of the AOPP it supports. For privacy reasons in the future, the reason I do not like to recommend the wallet.

Trezor physical attack can lead to seed phrase generated on the hardware wallet to be revealed to the attacker, using passphrase with it is advisable to mitigate such attack as it will generate different keys for you. But if you lost the passphrase, just like the seed phrase, your coins are gone.

MAaaN...!! CUT THAT STUPID SHIT

Ledger Nano S Plus can be an option and S Plus is the latest version of Ledger. Choosing a hardware wallet is not just looking at the vendor, but also the security that is implemented and of course the ongoing development and updates. The Ledger Nano S Plus uses a Certified secure chip (CC EAL5+) security and is also supported for NFT management.
But it also needs to be remembered, even the best hardware wallet if it is not used optimally and the user is too careless, of course it will not be optimal.

If there were the best hardware wallet on the market, everyone would want to purchase it, making its producer a wealthy monopolistic asshole who would care neither about its customer nor their privacy and safety. Such a hardware wallet would unlikely be open-source either, which directly contradicts the principles of transparency, free competition, and decentralization inherent to the bitcoin ecosystem and bitcoin itself. Diversity and transparency are preferable when it comes to hardware wallets because it enables producers to improve their product gradually by sharing ideas, implementations, libraries, etc. Constant improvement of a product makes wallets safer and their users more satisfied. Not only is it good for customers themselves and their money, but also it facilitates the global adoption of bitcoin since it shows that the whole industry is mature enough to be part of the world economy.

The "best" hardware wallet or wallet in general is totally subjective.

Bitcoin only: ColdCard
Crypto in general: Ledger, Trezor

Do research on all three then make your own conclusions.

I will recommend you to use Trezor since it's secure, trusted, open source and no data breach case until now. Some users might recommend you to use Ledger, although it's secure but they have a data breach case before and it will harm your privacy, that's why Ledger isn't my first option.

Each hardware wallet has its advantages and disadvantages. In choosing a hardware wallet, you should also look for the one that matches the asset you want to store, how to use it, or other criteria that suit your needs. For example, if you have many types of crypto assets, then look for a hardware wallet that supports those crypto assets and has enough storage space for several applications. Another example is if you need a hardware wallet for mobile purposes, look for a flexible one that can connect to a smartphone.

I have a Trezor T and a Ledger Nano X for now (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60975015).
