I don't understand what is the op so worried about.
If you lose your device and for some reason a hacker finds it, he will not be able to steal your funds, unless if it is a zero day exploit (which nobody knows any for now).
If someone try your pin 3 times  device will reset.

The maximum security for now for your bitcoins is a ledger nano or a trezor.
Without a secure element, the hardware wallet cab be easily hacked with side channel attack. Check this: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/12/10/cryptocurrency-shapeshift-keepkey-wallet-cold-hacker-voltage-attack/
