Ledger unveils Atom, an Android-based crypto hardware device resembling a phone

Ledger has launched the Atom, a new crypto-focused hardware device built on Android. Unlike its earlier compact wallet signers with custom software and E Ink screens, the Atom closely resembles a standard Android smartphone. It is designed to be used alongside a phone rather than replace one. The launch comes at a difficult moment for the company, which has halted sales of some hardware in southeast Asia after reported tampering in its supply chain. That incident has reportedly led to more than $86 million in cryptocurrency being stolen from some users' accounts.
