It's evident that they are targeting the younger generations of crypto holders with this fancy-looking device with a big touchscreen that can stay always on for as long as the battery lasts. I don't see anything there that would attract me to it. It's interesting that there is no mention of the internal storage capacity and how many apps can be installed at the same time.
The positive thing is all-around support for both Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. I agree that stacking the credit card-like devices seems stupid, especially considering their price. The battery seems phenomenal if the technical specifications are true. It can be charged wirelessly and can stay on stand-by for weeks and months depending on how often it gets used.
They are stingy with the recovery sheets. Apparently, only one is provided in the box. I wonder if it's that difficult/expensive to include at least 2 if 3 is mission impossible?

Ledger still needs to get their new HW wallet certified. If the required certification isn't obtained, I guess the production won't go ahead or it will be delayed. Those who preordered will in that case receive refunds.

Rather gimmicky, if you ask me. I don't get the benefits of the magnetic stacking feature, or the wrap-around screen.
It seems like it's full of marketing gimmicks meant to attract those who are unfamiliar with hardware wallets in the first place. Do they really expect people to buy multiples of these, when you can use the same hardware wallet with multiple accounts?
I may not be their intended demographic, I don't need my hardware wallet to store shitcoins or NFTs. But if it's easy to use, and given Ledger's marketing budget I wouldn't be surprised to see many of these get sold.

Your thoughts?
For me the old Nano S is still good enough and I agree that Ledger is again pursuing new directions - of course, they are supposed to bring more income - instead of fixing their actual (and old/known) problems that would keep their existing customers happy.
Should I add that it costs the same as a decent 2022 Android phone? I mean, come on...
Free shipping to my country, but the hardware wallet is expensive with just little to no additional functional features in relation to bitcoin transaction and storage. The secure element is still close source, just normal connections like bluetooth and USB.
Or maybe I am wrong. With a big screen, is it now airgapped in a way I can just only use QR code to make transactions?
When I was looking for wallet that support opt-in RBF, I was disappointed that Ledger Live was not among, I hope Ledger Live will support full RBF.

I wish they hired capable devs (or at least assigned enough manpower) to finally sort out their Ledger Live application, instead focusing on the hardware wallet exterior. But I guess this brings more money and that's what matters in the end.
Ledger is partnering with Tony Fadell (the creator of the iPod) to build a new hardware wallet 'Ledger Stax'.
The wallet is a credit card-sized device with embedded magnets so that multiple devices can easily be stacked. The outside is a wraparound e-ink display that can show transaction details and even NFTs.
The Ledger Stax will retail for $279, compared to $79 for the Nano S Plus and $149 for the Nano X wallet.

The wallet is going to be available by Q1 2023 but you can pre-order it now: https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-stax
