Before you choose

Consider

DCENT SS has no independent transaction screen. Optional recovery words are displayed and entered in the phone app, so choose another model if you want those tasks on the hardware.

DCENT Biometric WalletChoose a touchscreen model if you prefer touch input. iPhone supports Bluetooth transactions; firmware updates need USB from a computer or Android device.
