I doubt is has the secure chip there is in Ledger HW.
Also, the security mode entirely relies on your phone screen. One of the most unsafe places in the world.
Finally, not having access to the seed means it’s pre-seeded, and you cannot recover from hardware failure.

Makes sense.  I think Ledger has packages with crypto, but this is way more expensive :-)

all true, but it seems like a way better way to give $100 of ETH as a gift card than any other option!

Not the same chip, but same class of smart card chip with high EAL certification. Could run some parts of the Ledger firmware if you wanted.

Obviously trust model assumes your phone isn’t fully broken, but you still have big benefits (your phone never has access to key material)

For storing larger amounts I use Burner with a multisig.

For offline use you can leverage our open SDK to generate transactions with Burner and an off the shelf NFC reader. We’ve yet to show this in a demo but it’s pretty cool.
