Scored on our fixed 40-point standard
The short answer

SecuX V20 is SecuX Technology’s cold storage priced at $99. A genuinely nice device to use: the big touchscreen makes verifying and entering a PIN far easier than button-only rivals, and the EAL5+ secure element is legitimate. The closed-source firmware and optional Bluetooth are the reasons purists still reach for a Trezor.

It scores 8.3 out of 10 on our fixed 40-point standard, and is our best big-touchscreen hardware wallet, weighed on security, ease of use, supported assets, value and recovery. Strengths: Certified Infineon EAL5+ secure element; Large colour touchscreen makes verification and PIN entry easy; Premium aluminium build with a rechargeable battery. Trade-offs: Closed-source firmware with no public independent audit; Bluetooth adds a potential wireless attack surface; Smaller ecosystem and brand than Ledger or Trezor.

Passphrase and 500 accounts

BIP-39 passphrase hidden wallets and support for up to 500 accounts.

The SecuX V20 is a premium hardware wallet that stands out for two things: a large 2.8-inch colour touchscreen, one of the biggest in the category, and a solid polished-aluminium body that feels genuinely high-end. This SecuX V20 review looks at how well that hardware protects your crypto, how the touchscreen and Bluetooth workflow feel day to day, and the trade-offs, chiefly Bluetooth and price, that you should weigh before buying.

The short version: the V20 is a well-built, easy-to-use hardware wallet with a certified secure element, broad coin and NFT support, and one of the best screens you can get for verifying transactions. Its main considerations are that it uses Bluetooth rather than an air-gap, and it sits at a premium price.

What the SecuX V20 is and how it works

The SecuX V20 is a self-custody hardware wallet: it stores your private keys offline on a dedicated device, and every transaction has to be confirmed on the device itself before it can be broadcast. What sets it apart is the interface. Instead of a tiny display and buttons, the V20 has a large circular touchscreen that shows addresses and amounts clearly and lets you tap through the flow directly.

You connect it either by Bluetooth to the SecuX mobile app or by USB-C to a computer, giving you a genuinely cross-platform experience. You set it up in minutes: power it on, create a PIN, write down your 24-word recovery phrase, and pair it with the app to add your accounts. From there you send, receive, and manage assets from the app or desktop while the V20 holds and protects the keys.

Security: certified secure element and on-device confirmation

Security is the V20's strong suit. At its core is a CC EAL5+ certified secure element, the same class of tamper-resistant chip used by the leading hardware wallets, which stores your PIN and private keys in a way that is designed to resist physical and side-channel attacks. Your keys are generated on the device and never leave it.

On top of the chip, the V20 adds several practical layers: every transaction must be verified and approved on the touchscreen, so a compromised computer cannot move funds without your physical confirmation; a 24-word recovery phrase backs up the wallet; an optional passphrase creates a hidden wallet for plausible deniability; and tamper-proof sealing labels on the packaging help you confirm the device has not been intercepted before it reaches you.

The touchscreen and everyday use

The 2.8-inch touchscreen is the V20's headline feature and a real usability win. Being able to read a full receiving address and amount on a large, clear display, and confirm with a tap, makes verifying transactions far less error-prone than squinting at a tiny screen. For anyone who takes on-device verification seriously, this is one of the best interfaces in the category.

Everyday use is smooth. Battery life is excellent, with the device only needing a charge roughly every 10 days, and the SecuX app is straightforward for tracking your portfolio, sending, and receiving. Coin support is broad too: the V20 handles more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens plus NFTs, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ERC-721 and ERC-1155 assets, so it comfortably covers a diverse portfolio.

Setting up the SecuX V20 and supported crypto

Setup is quick and beginner-friendly for a hardware wallet. You power the device on, set up a new wallet, enter and confirm a PIN directly on the touchscreen, and write down the 24-word recovery phrase the device generates. You then pair the V20 with the SecuX app over Bluetooth, or connect it to a computer with the USB-C cable, and add the coins you want to hold. There are no fiddly button combinations to memorise: the large touchscreen guides each step.

Once you are set up, access to your crypto is simple. The SecuX app and desktop interface let you add accounts for the coins you own, receive and send, and track your portfolio, while the device supports a broad range of assets. It handles Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more than 1,000 other cryptocurrencies and tokens, plus NFTs, so most holders can keep their whole portfolio on one hardware wallet. Practical features like the hidden-wallet passphrase and on-device confirmation are all reachable from the same clear menus.

The Bluetooth question

The most important trade-off in any honest SecuX V20 review is connectivity. Unlike air-gapped wallets such as the SafePal S1 or ELLIPAL Titan, which communicate only by QR code, the V20 connects over Bluetooth and USB. That makes it convenient and cross-platform, but Bluetooth is a wireless link, and some security-focused users prefer to avoid any radio on a cold wallet on principle.

In practice the risk is limited: your keys stay inside the secure element, and no transaction can be signed without your confirmation on the device, so Bluetooth is a transport for already-signed data rather than a path to your keys. You can also use USB-C exclusively and never enable Bluetooth if you prefer. Still, if a zero-radio air-gap is a hard requirement for you, the V20 is not the wallet to buy, and that is worth being clear about.

  • Not air-gapped: uses Bluetooth and USB rather than QR-only communication.
  • Premium price at around $139, more than budget hardware wallets.
  • Larger and heavier than slim wallets, owing to the screen and metal body.
  • Firmware is not fully open source, which open-source purists will weigh against it.

SecuX V20 vs air-gapped rivals

The clearest way to place the V20 is against the air-gapped wallets it competes with on price and screen size.

In plain terms: pick the V20 if you want a premium touchscreen wallet that works cleanly on both desktop and mobile and you are comfortable with Bluetooth. Pick an air-gapped wallet like the ELLIPAL Titan or SafePal S1 if avoiding any wireless connection is your priority.

Is the SecuX V20 worth it?

For the right buyer, yes. The V20 combines a certified secure element, excellent build quality, one of the best touchscreens in the category, and true cross-platform use over USB and Bluetooth. If you value a large, clear screen for verifying transactions and a premium feel, it is a very satisfying wallet to own.

  • Buy it if you want a premium touchscreen hardware wallet that works on both desktop and mobile, and Bluetooth does not bother you.
  • Think twice if you require a zero-radio air-gap, want the cheapest option, or need fully open-source firmware.
  • Best for holders who prioritise usability, screen quality, and cross-platform flexibility over an absolute air-gap.

The bottom line

The SecuX V20 is one of the most polished hardware wallets you can buy, with a certified secure element, a superb large touchscreen, and broad coin and NFT support in a premium aluminium body. Its use of Bluetooth instead of an air-gap is the defining trade-off: a convenience most users will happily accept, but a dealbreaker for the air-gap purist. If clear on-device verification and cross-platform ease matter more to you than avoiding every radio, the V20 earns its place among the best.

Trust, but verify

How to check it before you trust it

1Buy only from the maker direct

Never a marketplace reseller. Tampered devices are the main real-world risk.

2Confirm the device is genuine

Run the maker's authenticity check on first connection. Do not skip it.

3Generate the seed yourself

A genuine device shows a fresh, un-initialised state. Never accept a pre-set phrase.

4Test recovery with a small amount

Send a little, wipe, restore from your phrase, and confirm it returns before going big.

Questions

SecuX V20 FAQ

Is the SecuX V20 safe?

Yes. The V20 stores your PIN and private keys in a CC EAL5+ certified secure element, requires on-device confirmation for every transaction, and backs up with a 24-word recovery phrase plus an optional passphrase. Your keys are generated on the device and never leave it, so even a compromised computer cannot move funds without your physical approval.

Does the SecuX V20 use Bluetooth, and is that secure?

Yes, the V20 connects by Bluetooth or USB-C. Bluetooth is a convenience rather than a weakness: your keys stay inside the secure element and no transaction can be signed without your confirmation on the touchscreen, so Bluetooth only carries already-approved data. If you prefer, you can use USB-C only and never enable Bluetooth.

Is the SecuX V20 air-gapped?

No. Unlike QR-only wallets such as the SafePal S1 or ELLIPAL Titan, the V20 communicates over Bluetooth and USB. That makes it convenient and cross-platform, but if a zero-radio air-gap is a hard requirement for you, an air-gapped wallet is the better choice.

What coins and NFTs does the SecuX V20 support?

The V20 supports more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, plus NFTs including ERC-721 and ERC-1155 assets. That covers major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum along with a wide range of tokens, making it suitable for a diverse portfolio.

How big is the SecuX V20 screen?

It has a large 2.8-inch colour touchscreen, one of the biggest in the category. The size makes it much easier to read a full receiving address and amount and confirm with a tap, which reduces the chance of approving a wrong or tampered transaction.

How long does the SecuX V20 battery last?

Battery life is excellent. In normal use the V20 only needs charging roughly every 10 days, so it is not something you have to think about often. It recharges over USB-C.

SecuX V20 vs W20: what is the difference?

The V20 and W20 share the same core security and touchscreen. The main difference is form and power: the V20 is the larger, battery-powered desktop-style model, while the W20 is a more compact version. Both use the same EAL5+ secure element and SecuX app.

Can I use the SecuX V20 on a desktop computer?

Yes. The V20 is genuinely cross-platform: it connects to a computer over USB-C for desktop and web use, and to the SecuX mobile app over Bluetooth. That flexibility is one of its advantages over app-only wallets.

Is the SecuX V20 open source?

Only partly. The V20's firmware is not fully open source, so open-source purists who want an end-to-end auditable stack may prefer a wallet like Trezor. This does not undermine the certified secure-element security, but it is worth knowing if auditability is a priority for you.

What happens if I lose my SecuX V20?

Your funds are safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. If the device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you restore your wallet and balances onto a new SecuX or any compatible wallet using that phrase. Keep the phrase offline and never enter it on a computer or phone.
