OneKey Neo: hardware wallet launches at 179 US dollars

Launched on 9 November, the Neo has a 3.54-inch AMOLED display and, according to OneKey, two EAL6+ secure elements. Unlike the Pro 2, it has no camera for offline QR signing.

A new hardware wallet, the OneKey Neo, has launched at 179 US dollars. For UK buyers the key comparison is with the 99-dollar Classic 1S and the 299-dollar Pro 2: the Neo sits in the middle on price, adds a large touchscreen, but drops the top model’s camera for air-gapped QR signing.

The prices come from OneKey’s own announcement and are quoted in US dollars (as of 9 November 2026). They are not a confirmed retail price in pounds sterling. The product page lists free shipping from 179 US dollars; buyers in the UK should check the checkout for the final total, including any import VAT or duty, before ordering.

Price and feature differences

OneKey’s product page and launch announcement list three devices priced from 99 to 299 US dollars. The table below reproduces the prices and specifications published there. It is not an independent product test or a UK retailer price comparison.

On these maker prices, the Neo costs 80 US dollars more than the Classic 1S and 120 US dollars less than the Pro 2. Anyone who specifically wants camera-based offline QR signing gets that, per OneKey’s own comparison, only with the Pro 2. Buyers who need neither the large screen nor that camera function should check whether the cheaper Classic 1S covers their needs.

OneKey also sells a SeedCard accessory for 39 US dollars. It is not listed as part of the Neo’s device price in the launch announcement. Accessories, shipping terms and taxes can change the amount actually charged; the order summary for the specific delivery address is what counts.

What the Neo offers

The official product page specifies a 3.54-inch AMOLED display, a resolution of 1,024 × 604 pixels and brightness of up to 800 nits. OneKey lists Bluetooth, USB-C and NFC as connection options. The battery is rated at 700 mAh and charges via USB-C or wirelessly.

OneKey describes two EAL6+-certified secure elements. According to the maker, private keys are generated and stored there, and transactions are signed inside the chips. These are the vendor’s own claims about the device architecture, not an independent audit of the whole wallet. A component certification on its own is not proof that every use case, the companion app or protection against phishing is flawless.

The Neo announcement also lists a FIDO2-certified passkey feature over USB-C. OneKey lists NFC authentication and TOTP code generation as upcoming software updates rather than features available now. Those announced features should therefore not be treated as already shipping.

What buyers should check

A hardware wallet can keep private keys off a smartphone or computer that is permanently connected to the internet. That does not automatically make a transaction safe: users still need to check carefully which address and amount they are confirming, and keep their recovery phrase away from anyone else. Germany’s federal cyber-security agency, the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) (in German), notes more generally that blockchain technology on its own does not remove IT security risks; weaknesses can also sit in hardware, software and interfaces. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre gives comparable general guidance on protecting devices and keys from phishing and malware.

For the buying decision, screen and chip count matter less than workflow and backup: is camera-based QR signing actually needed? Are USB-C or Bluetooth acceptable? How will the recovery phrase be stored safely and separately from the device? And is the device compatible with the apps and networks already in use? The maker’s specifications do not replace checking these individual requirements.

Based on the maker’s current information, the Neo is mainly a mid-tier option within the OneKey range: a bigger screen and two secure elements rather than one, compared with the Classic 1S, but fewer isolation features than the Pro 2. None of this amounts to a general recommendation to buy cryptocurrency or to keep larger sums on any particular device.

Which feature would be worth the extra money to you on a hardware wallet: a large screen, a camera for offline signing, or the lowest possible device price? Share your view in the comments.
