You can build your own hardware wallet using SpecterDIY or SeedSigner . Both are great projects but I enjoy Specter the most.

Alternatively you can purchase multiple devices from different manufacturers and create a multisig wallet that requires multiple signatures from multiple devices. Wallet software like Specter-Desktop can help you with this. They also have a DIY signer https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-diy

Some PSBT Bitcoin hardware wallets get around this by implementing dynamic QR codes. Worth looking at SeedSigner, Specter DIY and Foundation Passport. Also, QR Code Generator by Blockchain Commons. Hopefully Monerujo's team check them all out.
