Just a heads up: You can use other Bitcoin wallets because your PC's wallet backup is pretty much compatible with most wallets in general(mobile or desktop)
I never knew that. glad to learn something new. and thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

Samourai wallet brings back sad memories 😓 honestly, I was a newbie then and I made a transaction to another wallet, this samourai wallet send out small amount of BTC and use large amount of BTC as gas fee, it literally did something I never sent it to do, the miner must be so happy
could it be that you forgot to change the recommended fee? it is a common mistake a newbie does. I've seen people post here in the forum about ridiculous fee for a small amount of transaction

In my past experience, though I sometimes recommend the desktop version, Electrum on mobile simply just sucks unfortunately. Use better wallets such as BlueWallet[1] or Samourai[2] instead.

I just downloaded the android version of electrum to try it out. It is extremely slow and would usually get stuck when clicking "next" or "cancel" is it really this bad or is it just my phone? I am currently Using Poco x3 NFC with 6gb ram 64gb storage.
Poco x3 NFC is using Android 10, I upgraded my phone like two months ago to Android 10 and Electrum wallet latest version which I am using works perfectly. Only what I know is that after you click on the wallet to open, it can take up to 5 to 10 seconds before it will open, but after that, no issue. Also, if you have just want to generate a new wallet like what you are complaining about now, it can be a bit slow to bring out your seed phrase while also click back can be a bit slower (but while click back) do not click back, just wait and let it generate you the seed phrase, it will work perfect.

With what I have experienced, Electrum mobile wallet on Android is also good, just that the desktop Electrum is far better by having more feature like coin control and signing a message with an address, but no issue at all to still use it on Android if not having computer, but the person must be careful of attackers because it is easy to attack mobile device than desktop and also to be careful of online attackers.

About BlueWallet, I downloaded it some weeks ago, what I like about the wallet is the easy means to make use of lightning network, but yet not what should be that hard on Electrum.

I rebooted my phone and downloaded it again and it seems that it is running normal now. My internal storage was almost full when I downloaded it maybe it affected the app(I am not sure). Anyway, thanks for the inputs.

Excuse me what functions are available in electrum that's not general on other android wallets today? Why electrum in 2021 where we have better crypto mobile wallets today? Avoid the hassle and download metamask app or trust wallet on your phone

Hm, I am using Electrum on my phone for quite some time, and haven't experienced any issues. I have Samsung Galaxy Note 10 which is a little bit older phone than your Poco x3 and not significantly stronger and its working smoothly.

Since Poco x3 has decent hardware, maybe try to clean it up a little bit. From my experience Xiaomi devices slow down soon after purchasing, but still it shouldn't be that bad as its still a relatively new phone.

I believe it is directly related to the device it is on. I have used electrum on multiple mobile phones and each time it gets progressively slower the lower the RAM and ROM storage get.

I am currently Using Poco x3 NFC with 6gb ram 64gb storage.
However, in my little experience for this device type, it should just be a minor inconvenience rather than a big issue, except maybe when compared to much more powerful devices.
