tldr;

The ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 has a ton of absolutely amazing features that we would love to see other major manufactures implement, but severely drops the ball when it comes to our security and privacy analysis unfortunately.

While we certainly don’t enjoy speaking negatively about products that companies have obviously put in a lot of hard work into, we think it’s important to inform our readers of both the good and the bad parts of products as it makes it clear what users should look out for. It also demonstrates that we're not just giving every product 5/5 regardless of how insecure they are for people to use. We hope ELLIPAL can take our feedback gracefully and use it to build a better version in the future.

We went into a LOT of detail on this review as it's a real mixed bag and we didn't want to just write the Titan 2 off completely. We honestly loved a ton of things about it such as it’s huge, crisp touch screen, its simple interface, its multi language support, its speed and smoothness, its anti-disassembly & anti-tamper features and the super premium design and build quality.

But at the end of the day it doesn’t really mean much if the product can’t do the core task of generating and keeping your private key safe. While ELLIPAL says all the right things and has all the right certifications, it's a giant case of "just trust us bro" which isn't acceptable for us resulting in a 2.6/5 star rating.
