Ledger Introduces New Wallet with E-Ink Display, Featuring Wireless Charging

The French hardware encryption wallet manufacturer, Ledger, recently announced the upcoming release of the Ledger Stax, a wallet featuring an E-Ink display. The wallet is priced at 279 euros during the pre-order phase, equivalent to approximately $303.49 USD or 2198 RMB.

The Ledger Stax represents the company's move towards high-end products. Unlike the compact and exquisite Ledger Nano S and Nano X series, the Stax wallet introduces several hardware upgrades.

One of the major highlights of this wallet is its curved E-Ink display with touch functionality. The advantage of an E-Ink screen is its exceptionally low power consumption while being able to stay on constantly, allowing users to see their cryptocurrency balance as soon as they pick up the wallet.

While Ledger is not the first to use a touch display on a hardware encryption wallet—the OneKey Pro series also features a touch screen, a camera for scanning QR codes, and a fingerprint module for quick unlocking—the Ledger Stax does not include a camera or fingerprint recognition module. Therefore, unlocking the device might still require a password, but its other features are similar to those of the Ledger Nano X series.

The pre-order price of 279 euros is a special pre-order offer (pre-orders have not yet started), and the actual price may increase upon official release. However, this might not be considered too expensive for cryptocurrency investors.

Here are the known hardware specifications of the Ledger Stax:

• Display: Curved E-Ink screen with touch support
• Wired Connection: USB-C support
• Wireless Connection: Built-in Bluetooth chip for transaction pairing
• Built-in Magnets: Allows for stacking multiple wallets, though it's unclear why one might need multiple wallets
• Wireless Charging: Supports Qi wireless charging protocol
• Battery Life: Up to 1 month on a full charge
• Manufacturer: Ledger Stax is assembled by Foxconn
