How do you feel about Exodus wallet? it's the only "warm" I guess you would call it, that I can afford and works for me right now.
Personally, I don't eff with wallets that utilize anything other than Bitcoin. This is because of the additional attack vectors created from having multiple chains associated with a single device/wallet. Also, if it's not Bitcoin it's a sh*tcoin (in my opinion), so stick with the maxis.
If you're looking for a good hot wallet, just use Strike or CashApp. Strike edges out with the low cost of buying BTC, but CashApp has greater functionality as a bank. Then when you're ready for a cold storage custody wallet, use the Blockstream Jade. It's the best option for the lowest price ($70-80ish). Can't beat that.

Or is this actually considered "cold"?

If it's not cold, it's hot. The only way to be cold in any sense to be completely offline: no screens, no cables, no keyboard, no internet, no computer, no camera, period.

from my understanding, "warm vs hot" (both may be connected to net), however the difference is that the "warm" is a stand alone app of some sort & Not An Exchange! I don't claim to know everything, but this makes sense to me. You can research many articles on the topic, and a "warm" version is often listed as an option!
