Very High quality & intentionally crafted little device. I upgraded to the Flex from a ledger Nano X & love the ease of use the touchscreen on the Flex provides. Doing almost anything on the Flex is a smoother and more seamless experience than any other wallet I've used up to this point. Price is a bit much but when comparing it to Ledger's flagship device the STAX you really cant go wrong.

Feature Rich Wallet

The Ledger Flex is a fantastic choice in wallets, offering unique set of features and services, while providing a secure and easy to understand wallet for any entrant into the space.
Unboxing the Flex, I found it to be well made and felt good in the hand with finished edges unlike some wallets I own. Apart from slight flexing of the back plastic, the Flex has a premium feel with aluminum banding and a 2.84” matte Gorilla Glass E Ink display. In addition to the Flex, Ledger provides 3 recovery sheets and a USB C to USB C cable for charging or interface.
After unboxing you will need to use Ledger Live to setup the Flex, the companion app available on desktop or mobile. Having setup other wallets both ways I appreciate Ledger supports desktop and mobile apps, however I chose the convenience of mobile for the Flex. Setup was a breeze thanks to Ledger’s well designed and feature rich app, which walks you through the pairing, secure device verification, pin setup, secret recovery phrase, and apps (wallets). During this time you will also have the option of Ledger Recover, their custodial recovery service, which is optional and can be added later. Once setup is complete, you can use Ledger Live to receive and send with your newly created (or restored) wallets. In addition to sending or receiving, Ledger Live offer the ability to buy, sell, swap and even stake from within the app through one of their partners. I found the fees a bit high but Ledger breaks down your choices and provides associated fees. Again, it is nice that Ledger offers the flexibility of features and services to those who want it while not compromising those who do not.
Interacting with the Flex is also great, with the large display perfect for reading wallet addresses as well as providing meaningful information in what Ledger calls Clear Signing. Essentially, Ledger provides additional details regarding your interactions so that the user fully understands what they are doing, enhancing security for newcomers and veterans alike. Provided you have adequate lighting, the display is easy to read and can be customized with custom photo wallpaper or an NFT of your choice. The Flex also lets you control settings such as sounds, turn bluetooth/nfc off, and PIN shuffle to enhance physical security. Inside there is a CC EAL6+ certified secure chip which further ensures the integrity of the device. Battery life of the Flex is also good, rated at 10-hours of use or 150 transactions. Although I only made a few transactions, I did interact with the device more often than I normally would and I have averaged 5% consumption a week.
Having used the Flex for over a couple weeks, I am confident in the device and like the thought that was put into the overall experience. I was skeptical having used other wallets over the years, but the Ledger Flex really is a great choice and offers a good value considering the features and services along with the practical security it provides.

Great Wallet Transaction Signing Device + Secure !

Unboxing -
This small crypto wallet comes nicely packaged with the appropriate USB-C connection and charging cord. The box
Includes tamper notification seals. Paperwork and a physical paper reminder to back up your security words for
Recovery is included.
What is this for ? -
If you are new to the world of buying and holding crypto - This device allows you to establish wallet addresses and signing
keys for a wide range of specific coins. Your signing keys are stored only on the device if you so choose. This allows you to
“air gap” your keys from your computer, tablet, phone or other devices for an additional layer of security rather than storing ‘
Your crypto in an exchange or in a software wallet. Remember - a soft wallet on a regular PC is only one malware infection
away from potentially being compromised !
Initial Setup -
I chose to install the application on my PC and on my phone. I did the initial setup in a windows PC. The application walked
Me though setup but initially failed to install any wallet applications on the device. I noticed a flag on device / updates that
The out of the box firmware was way out of date. I updated to the current firmware - this took around three minutes and was
Then able to install specific crypto apps. I added a few of my favorites and then initialized the accounts through the PC application.
Daily use -
I was able to receive, send and sign transactions with no issue. I was also able to link the device to the phone version of the app
and sign additional transactions with the same information represented on both. Overall very easy to use and the software provides
Help and prompts for what you need to do.
Overall - Great little device to keep your signing keys safe ! - software has easy recovery modes to switch or restore to a new
Device. Device itself is pin protected and will erase itself after three incorrect attempts. Smooth setup process that totaled under
Ten minutes.
What I love -
Premium Feel and look - e-paper screen is a nice touch !
Security features and reminders for new users.
Ecosystem and software easy to use
Room for improvement-
Prompt to update immediately in the setup app.
The device could have more available memory for specific apps.

Compact, efficient, and secure.

Design & Build
The Ledger Flex strikes a balance between portability and usability. It's compact enough to slip into a pocket but large enough to handle comfortably with one or two hands. The e-ink display is a standout feature—offering crisp readability without the eye strain of traditional screens. Unlike some other devices, the lack of haptic feedback is a welcome choice, preserving battery life without unnecessary power consumption.
Setup & Security
Ledger has made setup both seamless and secure. Before anything else, the device runs an authenticity check to confirm that the hardware hasn't been tampered with. This ensures that you’re receiving a legitimate, untouched device where no one has prior access to the seed phrases—a crucial security step that adds peace of mind.
Connectivity & Functionality
Pairing the Ledger Flex via Bluetooth is simple and reliable. This makes updating apps and managing assets through your phone effortless, without needing to connect to a computer. Additionally, NFC support is a welcome addition, allowing for quick authentication without relying solely on a phone for 2FA.
User Experience & Features
Ledger’s desktop app simplifies the management of multiple devices, making it easy to track and move cryptocurrency. The UI remains intuitive, ensuring transactions are straightforward. Customization is a nice touch, allowing users to display personal photos or NFTs stored on the wallet as a background.
Packaging & Presentation
Ledger maintains its high-quality packaging standards. Everything needed to get started is neatly packed, with QR codes on the box and inserts guiding users directly to the right applications. This small detail improves accessibility and speeds up the onboarding process.
Final Thoughts
The Ledger Flex refines the crypto wallet experience by combining security, ease of use, and smart design choices. The e-ink display, lack of haptic feedback, NFC support, and robust security measures make it an excellent option for those serious about digital asset protection. Whether you're managing a single wallet or multiple Ledgers, this device delivers a smooth and reliable experience.

I’m trying to keep up with the digital world as I begin investing in cryptocurrencies, and I’m securing my digital keys on an offline hardware wallet!
Enter the Ledger Flex – Ledger’s newest addition to their already comprehensive HW wallet lineup. I decided to move to a HW wallet after hearing countless stories of digital asset theft and loss - and it’s something any savvy crypto investor should be considering – seriously.
For this review – I’m focusing on my user experience during my first transfer from an exchange to the Ledger Flex device. Plenty of other reviews already talk about the product, what’s in the box, initial setup, etc. It went smoothly for me as well – until I started my transfers.
I’ll admit I’m new to the crypto world, and I was a bit nervous moving around $1000’s of dollars of assets hoping they just won’t disappear into the ether. To ease my nerves, I decided to follow the instruction EXACTLY. However, I soon found myself asking some questions as the instructions to transfer assets from Coinbase to my new Ledger Flex didn’t match exactly. Yup – made me nervous and also made this product lose a star on the review. My suggestion is that Ledger should be verifying these instructions from at least the 10 most popular exchanges on a weekly basis or maybe even more often. The last thing they want is for a customer to feel unsure when they are transferring assets that may have significant value.
After watching several YouTube videos by Ledger on the subject – I fumbled my way through it with a small transfer of $100 – just to see if it works. And it did! With that success under my belt, I setup another currency account and verified my unique address and proceeded to do another transfer. SUCCESS. And I did that several more times with increasing amounts.
I will continue to transfer more until I’ve moved as much as I can from the exchange to the Ledger Flex. I’m currently happy with the Flex and feel a bit more secure knowing I have control of my digitals keys vs relying on the exchange.

Great new Crypto wallet from Ledger

The Ledger Nano Flex is a new Crypto wallet from Ledger featuring an E-ink touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB and NFC connectivity. The device is compatible with Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and IOS. There are Desktop and Mobile versions of the Ledger live app.
The wallet is 78.40 mm × 56.50 mm × 7.70 mm in perfect for pocket and weighs in at 57.5gm. The screen resolution is 480x600px.and 2.84 inches diagonally. The E-Ink screen is easy to read but you need light to see it as there is no onboard light.
The setup is easy, download and install Ledger live it performs a check to confirm the wallet as a genuine Ledger. Next you then set up your 4 or 8 digit pin. Wallet setup is next: You can set the wallet up as a new wallet with a 24 word recovery phrase or recover a previous ledger wallet by entering your old wallet 12,18 or 24 word secret recovery phrase. Ledger includes a card to write down the words for safekeeping. You can also take advantage of Ledger recover by creating a digital ID, Ledger provides this recovery service for a fee. The wallet can be used as a 2FA security key with NFC for your phone, just download the ledger security app and select it, turn on NFC and tap the screen when it is needed for identity authentication. This is compatible with many sites. Another cool feature is you can display your favorite NFT or image on your Lock screen to personalize your device. You can even buy a magnetic folio to protect the flex. The ledger flex is compatible with most blockchains, see the full list on Ledgers website.
The Ledger flex is a great wallet in a pocket sized format easy to read making signing and confirming account transactions easy. Its multi blockchain support and long battery life make it an excellent choice for a secure crypto wallet. This is a great replacement for an old Nano or Nano X plus.

First off I want to say these ledgers are not for everyone. Please do your own research before investing because it is exactly that. This is not a hobby.
And this is not a leather wallet that you put cash in and carry around in your back pocket. Duh right.
Each ledger that is released comes are looking better and has better features. And I can say that ledger flex did not disappoint…… mostly.
Pros: I really like the look. The style is sleek and clean. No extra stuff, exactly what want and what I’m looking for an installed. So it doesn’t confuse me or frustrate me.
The learn more bar code is kind of helpful.
Since I consider this to be one of the most secure ledgers I don’t feel the need to take any extra steps.
Cons: memory size and my con will always be memory size so that I’d no surprise. Sometimes I struggle with Bluetooth connectivity but when that happens I just set it away and focus on something else and come back to it later.
Over all good design and function. The brand is well known, tried and true

Powerful user-friendly cold storage solution

Verdict: wow, I love this crypto wallet. It’s essentially the best of both worlds… cold storage of private keys, and easy and secure interaction with Ledger Live to buy, sell, stake, move etc. your crypto. Besides no wireless charging, this thing is fantastic.
Pro Tips:
- You can use your Flex as a two-factor authenticator for your email accounts and some exchanges like Coinbase by using the “Security Key” app on the Flex and then tap it to your phone (uses NFC) or plug it to your computer with the USB-C cable. This prevents anyone from intercepting text messages with 2FA codes, for example.
Initial impressions. It’s thin. The always on e-ink screen can display a picture or NFT – pretty cool. The touchscreen works very well and is precise. It comes with a USB-C charger.
Setup. Once you turn on the Flex, a step-by-step guide on the screen goes through the setup process, while also providing information about each step. I think this is helpful to teach new users and increase trust in the device. For my Ledger Nano S, I only used the desktop app and was happy with it, but… I could only transact from my computer. While you can use the desktop app with the Flex, I think the absolute game-changer for me is the ability to use the Ledger Live app on my smartphone, making all crypto transactions mobile, and secure through the Flex device. For the most interaction with the Flex, you will use it in tandem with your smartphone and the Ledger Live app, so keep them both side by side for setup. To setup the Ledger Live app on your smartphone, just scan the QR code with your smartphone. From there, follow just a few prompts to pair the Flex with your phone, and then complete remaining step for the setup of the Flex. If you get a Flex to restore your seed phrase from a previous Ledger device, you will go through the same process but select “Restore” on the Flex, instead of “Setup as a new wallet.” Once setup, you can install individual crypto apps on your Flex from Ledger Live app on your phone.
Crypto. While the Ledger Flex supports thousands of currencies, it can only hold up to 100 apps at a time. Some apps are larger than others… so you could end up with many less than that. If you are close to your storage limit, you can install an app make a transaction, then delete the app. Your crypto is stored on the blockchain so it is safe. This does not affect your private keys stored on the device. Your crypto will be visible on Ledger Live. If you need to make a transaction again, you can reinstall the app.
The Ledger Live App. The desktop app and mobile app are perfectly synched, so you can use either or both! The app is intuitive, easy to use, and powerful. You can find thousands of crypto currencies and do everything you would expect from an app: buy, sell, stake, move, etc. You can see all your wallets and holdings, link external accounts, and see market performance. You can also use the app to customize the Ledger, such as the lock screen (you can use your pictures and even NFTs). Of course, to send / exchange / buy / sell, you will need your Flex to verify the transaction… that is the whole point of having a cold storage wallet. I LOVE that all critical approvals are done on the Flex and not on the smartphone; essentially, it puts all the security and power in your hands. To receive crypto, you will also need your Flex initially to verify that the receiving address is connected to the private keys in your Flex.
Security. The security chip is purpose-built for security and used by credit card companies for financial transactions around the world. Upon setup, the Flex will check if it’s genuine BEFORE you upload any private keys to make sure this is not a fake device aimed a capturing your keys. The pin to access the Flex can be 4 to 8 numbers; I think that’s adequate. If you enter the wrong pin 3 times, the wallet will wipe itself and you will need your secret pass phrase. You can adjust the time for the screen auto-lock. The screen allows you to see all the details of a transaction, so no more blind signing.
Pass phrase (or seed phrase). If you lose your Ledger Flex, or if for some reason the battery permanently fails, you can restore your private keys to a new Ledger device by using your secret pass phrase (use the recovery sheets provided). The Flex is a great solution to get your crypto off of exchanges that can be hacked, or that go bankrupt – this happens regularly folks! This device enables you to secure your own keys. Please beware! If you lose your secret phrase, your crypto is gone FOREVER.
Battery. You should use best practices to keep your battery healthy: (1) store between 68F and 113F temperatures; (2) avoid storing for an extended time when the battery is already low; and (3) charge your battery every three months. Like all batteries, unfortunately, this battery will die too. When this happens, make sure you have your secret phrase so you can restore your crypto to a new device.
Things I love:
- Most user-friendly cold storage crypto wallet
- Nice desktop app and fantastic smartphone app
- Pin to enter into the Ledger Flex for security
- Security appears to be the priority
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Battery lasts for weeks on a single charge
- Thank you for allowing the battery percentage to be displayed!
- Option to use the Ledger Recover subscription service, if you want to pay for it. I don’t… While your private keys are heavily secured through Ledger, I still do not want to grant access to my private keys to any external entity
Things I don’t love:
- No backlight on the screen, so can’t use it in the dark on its own
- No wireless charging
- It has a battery, so one day it will fail
Conclusion. This is a fantastic cold storage wallet, featuring a user-friendly touch screen and powerful companion apps on desktop and smartphone. I have never felt so secured about my crypto, but… I do feel a bit of anxiety about securing my seed phrase permanently. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this wallet.
