Hi. From your experience guys which wallet is good for android phone? with which wallet i can backup bitcoin private keys offline, without being connected to internet?

Electrum has an Android version (but it is a bit feature limited compared to desktop version, does the basics OK).

Mycelium is a pretty decent wallet... although the developers have previously made some questionable choices (intrusive ads, promoting "dubious" Russian ICOs, broken promises, Mycelium ICO disaster etc)

Samourai is an up and coming wallet (although technically still in "Alpha" test)

All of those wallets use "seed mnemonics" (aka "12 words") to enable you to create offline backups of private keys. If none of those look any good for what you want, you can always try looking at the other options here: https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/mobile/android/

I have two wallets in my android mobile. Coinbase and Electrum wallets. Segwit adds more value to Electrum and supports ERC-20 tokens. So Electrum seemed best. So secured and protected with seed phrases. If you are looking for less transaction fees and quick transactions, best use Electrum in your android mobile. Coinbase is one of the best wallets though it supports only four altcoins. Set up 2FA authentication factor to avoid issues in future.

I am always looking for a wallet that uses 2FA system, the security is very secure because someone who can find and open the wallet that I have is a person who knows about the smartphone we have or other tools connected to the 2FA system. Actually, I also use coinbase for my android wallet, and so far I'm comfortable using it.

Coinbase is not recommended because you don't have control over your private keys unlike other wallet like mycelium or electrum mobile they let you access the private keys and you can export them to transfer to any supported wallet unlike coinbase they don't have a backup option so if the website is gone or shutdown then you don't have a chance to recover your wallet.

with great potential i see - enjin (btc, eth, erc20) and i hope it will be exchange in new update

absolutely agree, and i hope it will develop more and more ,
potential good - product new )))

Is it truly can store erc20 tokens? If yes, then I will try it and test if it is suitable and best for me than web wallets. I usually use my android phone than using a computer. That is why I need an android wallet app to store my coins I got from bounties and airdrops. Thanks for this mate

I use coinomi wallet as a bitcoin storage wallet in android, let alone coinomi wallet which can also store other cryptocurrency including litecoin, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, not to mention a number of token ether. You can also set a pin and password for security

I find Coinbase and Electrum wallets are secured in android mobiles as I use these wallets. Other wallets must be more secured but as I do use these wallets I can confirm on these wallets. I use Electrum for Segwit address and Coinbase for normal bitcoin address. Electrum charges less transaction fees compared to Coinbase as Electrum is Segwit upgraded. Coinbase will soon upgrade Segwit. Work is going on behind. So these two wallets can be used I would suggest.

But coinbase wallet is easy to hack if you don't have 2 Factor Authentication because it is easy to hack your e-mail and reset your passwords.So I never recommend coinbase as secured wallet but I am also using coinbase for my signature campaign rewards and I never faced any problems while sending and receiving so in that case coinbase is good.And Electrum wallet also good for android so we can use that for cheap and secured transaction.The other option is blockchain.info wallet is also best and fee is less when compared to coinbase wallet.

nothing is lost if you don't lose yourself

i think mycelium is one of the best.
it is very fast and it allows you to manually set the transaction fees as you wish.
plus you are in control of the private keys and you can restore them from the backup if something happens to your phone.
also coinbase is not a wallet it is an exchange. they hold your private keys and they control your coins. if they get hacked you can not recover your wallet.

use blockchain.info for phone Best sync and high security

blockchain.info is not the best choice in terms of security
its a web based application
and its transaction fee calculator is screwy
I have several transactions with a suggested "normal" fee pending for more than a month now
without mempool dropping them too

Coinbase is the best android wallet we can used, I also used mycelium. Those wallet are possible to used in android phone, but coinbase can also used as online wallet and the mycelium can used as offline. Both of this different purposes especially when we used it.

If you haven't seen it already check out the Enjin Wallet. It's great. Massive altcoin support too. Ability to add custom ERC-20 tokens added as well.

Out of all of the Android wallets that have been proposed here, which ones support SegWit? According to the official site, the only one on here that has already deployed SegWit compatibility is Electrum, and I am not even sure if the Android version is updated with it either. Furthermore, Electrum does not have the best of reviews down at Google Play. I am also not sure when the last time the compatibility list got updated was, so it is possible some on here besides Electrum do actually support it. I also cannot find any wallets with good ratings on Google Play.
