The Ledger Nano X features Bluetooth connectivity for use with Ledger Live Mobile, larger storage capacity for more apps, and a bigger screen. The Nano S Plus offers USB-only connectivity, sufficient storage for most users, and excellent value. Both provide the same top-level security through the Secure Element chip and support the same cryptocurrencies. Choose Nano X for wireless convenience and maximum flexibility, or Nano S Plus for reliable USB connectivity at a more affordable price point.
Yes, you can use your Ledger hardware wallet with any computer that has Ledger Live installed. Your private keys remain securely stored on the device itself, so you can safely access your cryptocurrencies from different computers. Simply connect your Ledger device via USB, enter your PIN, and you'll have access to your accounts. This flexibility makes Ledger ideal for users who need to manage their assets from multiple locations while maintaining maximum security.
If you lose your Ledger device, you can recover access to all your cryptocurrencies using your 24-word recovery phrase on a new Ledger device. During the setup process of the new device, choose "Restore from Recovery Phrase" and enter your 24 words in the correct order. Once completed, you'll have access to all your accounts and funds. This is why it's critically important to store your recovery phrase securely and never share it with anyone.
We strongly recommend against purchasing used Ledger devices. While our devices have tamper-evident packaging and security features, a pre-owned device could potentially be compromised. Always purchase directly from Ledger.com or authorized resellers to ensure you receive a genuine, factory-fresh device with intact security seals. The small savings from a used device aren't worth risking your cryptocurrency assets. Ledger devices are affordable investments in security for valuable digital assets.
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, but the number you can actively manage simultaneously depends on device storage capacity. The Ledger Nano X can hold up to 100 apps, while the Nano S Plus can hold most users' needs with capacity for numerous apps. You can uninstall apps when not in use without affecting your crypto holdings - your assets remain safe on the blockchain and can be accessed by reinstalling the app. This flexible approach lets you manage a diverse portfolio regardless of device storage limitations.
