Since you are asking a crypto wallet and I assume not only a bitcoin wallet but a wallet that supports different kinds of crypto including btc, eth, doge, etc. then I will suggest this wallet https://trustwallet.com/ , It is one of the most trusted and widely used wallet today but currently as of now it only supports apple and android phones.
In addition that's wallet is closed source and it's not good to store high amount money, we don't know how reliable and trusted the code it is. I'd recommend to use it only for small money and use it for daily life, other than that there's no reason to have it.Hardware wallet only cost you $50-$100, better to use that than closed source one.
But for a beginner I would say no for going to hardware wallet because if he is buying the wallet not from official website then there is a chance that it is already compromised so before knowing all these things the newbies money will be in the hands of a scammer so better start small and from the trusted wallets and once we become familiar and understand what we are doing then we can buy huge amount of cryptocurrency and hardware wallet to store them.
