except maybe an open source hardware wallet where other, tech-savy people, would dig through their code

That kind of hardware wallets start to gain more and more ground lately. Even the old "established" Trezor is open source (just it doesn't have Secure Elements chip yet). A list is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/secure-element-in-hardware-wallets-5304483
And if a HW is open source for, let's say at least 6 months, I am 99.999% sure that multiple tech savvy people have checked it over a couple of times.

Hopefully my Ledgers won't break down on me so I don't have to buy another hardware wallet ever.

I don't realistically have such hopes. Sooner or later it will break, but I guess that it won't happen for at least 5 more years. My hope is that the technology will be better and cheaper until my HW dies off.

Luckily Nano S doesn't have its own battery. I just don't like this new mess up (c) by Ledger.

Can you elaborate why there's apparently so much hate ?

Basically because of the closed source policy they have, the disastrous handling for the hack of their shop, where a huge number of customers' addresses leaked, for pushing commercial updates for their software faster than bug fixes...
I also have a Nano S that works well, but if I'd ever buy a new HW, I'd choose another company (for these reasons and for experiencing something new too).

I've been aware of the data leak and am glad that I wasn't a customer at that point...
I can understand that not being open source is a big no-go for many people but I still trust my ledger more than any other wallet software or device that I would use otherwise (except maybe an open source hardware wallet where other, tech-savy people, would dig through their code). Hopefully my Ledgers won't break down on me so I don't have to buy another hardware wallet ever.

After months I finally decided to get my hands on a ledger nano x just a few days ago. The battery was empty when I received it but I was able to charge it and use it immediately.

If you by any chance still decide to waste your money and purchase this junk

Can you elaborate why there's apparently so much hate ?
I am really satisfied with my "Nano S" and that's why I decided to buy a "Nano X" aswell to have an immediate backup if one of them breaks and got no complaints about the devices whatsoever. (sorry if this is going too much offtopic)

Reminds me of the fix for the Nexus 7 tablet Autorotation not working any more... you had to push on the back of the case in a certain spot... so you popped the case open and put in a little cardboard shim to make sure the ribbon cable connecters were making a solid contact Tongue

Still... for a device that costs as much as the Nano X does, this should not be happening... the build quality and/or QA Testing is seriously lacking Roll Eyes

that will however probably void your warranty Cheesy

With a proper prying tool, they would never know you've opened it Cheesy

Looks like one of their assembly workers intentionally ^{[it has to be, based on the number of reports I'm seeing here]} pushed the battery connectors down, so it doesn't make that much contact!

There is currently a ton of people who are everyday reporting issues with their brand new purchased Ledger Nano X devices, so I would advice everyone not to waste money purchasing this junk device.
You can do twitter search for words ''ledger nano x battery'' and you will see a bunch of people complaining, so don't trust me but verify and check yourself
Here are some examples from people posted on reddit only in last five days, and moderators are probably downvoting any issues, or banning people if they complain.
