I am using mycelium wallet. Way handy to use when you want to store your bitcoins. You can have simple account and HD account with key difference in the pass phrase. You can generate pdf containing all the information regarding your public keys and private keys. In addition to this they will give you 12 word password to enter in the first place.
Mycelium wallet seems very easy to use and restore if you ran into emergency situation someday. Better choose your wallet very carefully.
I would say stick to only one wallet and have the keys noted down on multiple locations.
We always take it casually, but write it!

I am fine with coinomi but it is not open source, there would also be eidoo wallets which is very comfortable and intuitive, and let's not forget the good old metamask
Among huobi wallet, trust wallet and Atomic wallet which is the best for a newbie that wants to buy some altcoins? I did research and it says electrum is the best mobile wallet but no electrum for altcoins.
Well, you need to choose the wallet based on the altcoins you want to invest in. There is no wallet that can manage all coins. Therefore, you should first be clear about which coins you want to buy and based on that you have to choose the wallet. You will probably need several wallets anyway.

I only use Metamask wallet to keep my ERC20, BEP20, Polygon. as for me very easy to navigate and not too techy to use. as I can say "User Friendly, especially for a newbie"
There is no good open source wallet that support too many coins (multi-coins) so you should download several open source wallets:

Why we chose it: We chose Coinbase Wallet as the best crypto wallet for beginners because it’s an intuitive and highly secure wallet that is backed by a well-known exchange.
Coinbase Wallet is an excellent wallet for beginners who have little to no experience with crypto. The app can connect to most major bank accounts and has an interface that is welcoming and easy to navigate, consisting of a simple three-tab layout and clearly identifiable functions. Coinbase Wallet can store non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital collectibles, and it supports over 500 crypto assets — the largest number among hot wallets on this list.
Coinbase Wallet[/b] is an excellent wallet for beginners who have little to no experience with crypto.
Coinbase wallet can be accessed on any browser as well, but you need to give Authorization while logging in from web browser on a new device.
Among huobi wallet, trust wallet and Atomic wallet which is the best for a newbie that wants to buy some altcoins? I did research and it says electrum is the best mobile wallet but no electrum for altcoins.
Out of the 3 wallets you mentioned, I think the Trust wallet is really an easy-to-use wallet suitable for newbies, it offers the ability to store most of the altcoins on the market.
you can use trustwallet or metamask for short term only, many people here recommends me a hardware wallets for longterm hold.
Among huobi wallet, trust wallet and Atomic wallet which is the best for a newbie that wants to buy some altcoins? I did research and it says electrum is the best mobile wallet but no electrum for altcoins.
I use metamask wallet i tried other wallets like trust wallet but never really got the hang of others and just kept hodling my metamask wallet. But you could also store your coins on a exchange which is risky by most but if you enable all the security steps and don't log into suspicious sites you're most likely gonna be fine but still DEFI's are not a good place to store long term! If you finally get your wallet running don't forget to do much research about coins. I got recommended $ENGN which is Gaming token and #Lunafi which takes safe gambling to metaverse with Yield Farming for annual rewards , Don't forget always DYOR!
I think you just need to find a metamask for one of the multi-functional wallets you need or just open MEW for an ETH wallet address, good luck and usefulness.
For a Newbie Trust Wallet will be easy to use, as it is simple and it's interface is also good. You can hold your coins for a short term in the trust wallet but for long term I will suggest you to buy a hardware wallet and store your altcoins there. It will be more secure for you.
Ledger nano X is an offline crypto hardware wallet and this makes the wallet the best of the best, also there are few hardware wallets that are not open source which makes them bad choice for people trying to buy and use such wallet.
Among huobi wallet, trust wallet and Atomic wallet which is the best for a newbie that wants to buy some altcoins? I did research and it says electrum is the best mobile wallet but no electrum for altcoins.
I personally use metamask as my wallet for the internetbrowser and exodus as my desktop wallet which i have installed on my desktop PC. Metamask supports the Ethereum Chain, the Binance Smart Chain and Polygon. Exodus is a multi-curreny desktop wallet which supports many different coins and blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lumen and many more. I had good experience with both wallets and i had no problem using them ever so far.
In addition to those wallets i have a few others installed on my desktop which are native to the specific coins and needed in order to stakes those coins like IOTA, Radix and Waves.
Just remember to never give away your seed phrase and alwasy doublecheck if you are downloading the official wallet and no scam software.
I think you can use safepal for your hardware wallet, if you want to buy more altcoins because this wallet is quite cheap compared to other wallets,
if you want free use trustwallet, imtoken,
and keep in mind never store large amounts of assets in an exchange wallet

[General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?
Thanks for the info even I will also read the details to gain my knowledge through the link you provided. If you ask my advice I would suggest you use a hardware wallet if you can spend some money on buying a Hardware wallet otherwise most of us use a Trust wallet that supports most of the coins.
trust wallet and safepal is actually quite good and recommended now, I use both to store my altcoins and so far there have been no problems, everything is smooth, from withdrawals to safe deposits. trust wallet and safepal already have a lot of users around the world and until now both reputation is still very good.
Not that Safepal is only close source just like Trustwallet, it is an hardware wallet that is at all not recommendable, there are many hardware wallets that are open source that can be gone for just like the list I have once posted before:Open Source Hardware Wallets
Safepal is not only close source, wallet like Electrum can not be used as an extension with it. If there are numerous alternatives, while then going for unrecommendable ones.

Among huobi wallet, trust wallet and Atomic wallet which is the best for a newbie that wants to buy some altcoins? I did research and it says electrum is the best mobile wallet but no electrum for altcoins.
Trust wallet had some glitches which made lot of people to lose their money because of the miscalculation happened while allocating the transaction fee on rare occasions and there is no proper response from the wallet provider as well. So if you are just going to start then trust wallet maybe okay but if you are going to invest few thousand dollars then its worth paying a hundred dollar for hardware wallet.
The reason why some say Electrum is the best is that it has been long-established, battle-tested, non-custodial, and open source, a few things that may other wallet lacks. As you reckon it only supports bitcoin. As far as I am concerned, there is hardly a cryptocurrencies wallet that is comparable to Electrum. So if you try to find some alternative, I believe using a hard wallet that supports multi-coin is much a better approach.
Maybe, but he posted on altcoin section then he is interested on altcoin instead. ~
I believe this thread was moved from the beginners & help board. 
I can not recommend a close source wallet, if anyone is using it and it's source code are not available to the public, the person is at its own risk of any vulnerability included, which can even be intentional which is the type of vulnerability that I implying like spyware. I can never recommend close source wallet and the only best option I know are hardware wallets.
Im not sure if you read OP's question which wallet are the best to use for altcoins. Didnt he mentioned bitcoin? Closed source might be an issue, but why suggest something that OP cant use for what he is asking. I get hardwallet is the best option. But if his starting as a real newbie, bettet to offer him something we can be use for free isnt it? There is metamask. It can be indirect, if the person that created the OP is a newbie, going for altcoins is not the best, it is better to go for bitcoin, research more and go for altcoins later, I do not see anything bad to also include bitcoin wallets along.
Maybe, but he posted on altcoin section then he is interested on altcoin instead. Thats only a recommendation, but how can you say for investment that bitcoin is always better than altcoins. Have you invested on altcoins before? Ive invested on both and multiplier wise, both of my investment for the two give me a solid gains for altcoins. Im speaking of reality mate and thats what I experienced. Maybe there are some lousy altcoins that shitting some investors but that is the risk and people should learn the way on how to exit and entry depends on the market.Most of your suggested are for bitcoin, OP is asking for altcoins. With the exception of the hardwallet.L

Most of your suggested are for bitcoin, OP is asking for altcoins. With the exception of the hardwallet.OP trustwallet are quite okay for beginner if you plan to play or invest on altcoins. Also you can use metamask for better one it supported variety of altcoins you just need to change network depends on your interest.
There are many wallets in the market, their company is always developing and making them secure, but there are many apps in them, some security gaps are filled. Metamask is one of the largest wallets currently securing the funds of all users with the best security. But hardware wallet is one of the best choice to secure large funds.
If you can only spare 50$ to buy coins it's better to use trust wallet or electrum wallet but if you have up to 200-300$ then you can afford a ledger hardware wallet and use the rest money to buy coins, hardware wallets are the best choice for newbies and majority of mobile wallets are closed source.
for a newbie that wants to buy some altcoins?
Newbies shouldn't buy altcoins. Which one are you going to choose if you are new? So you are basically going to buy anything that the scammers advertise the most or is pumped them most so it is staying on top of some arbitrary list and end up losing your coins to the dump, some bug or exploit in its protocol and most importantly you can't figure out whether the altcoin you are buying is useful or have potential or not. 
If the coins you are going to buy will be worth more than $500, than my advice is to buy a hardware wallet.
Yes, I agree.
@OP, the best cryptocurrency wallet is a hardware wallet, so you are not gonna have any issues keeping your bitcoins and altcoins safe. The hardware wallet itself is not that expensive. You can purchase one for as little as $ 45 dollars and I think this is a good investment.
The more coins you will own the more secure you can be with your funds and your hardware wallet will serve you really well. The only thing you have to take care of is the backup and the password.
From the three wallets you suggested and based on my personal experience, I would say trust wallet. I've been using the Android version for more than a year with no problems. It is easy to use and supports a good number of coins/tokens and you can easily add custom tokens. Its only disadvantage is that it's closed source.
Atomic wallet is also a good choice you might want to consider.

It's not a must to use hardware wallet before you can buy crypto, trust wallet and atomic wallet are fine but hardware wallet is just more safer than mobile Wallet.
I would use Metamask for alt coins/tokens i.e, ERC20 / BEP20 and Electrum for Bitcoin. For ERC20 check also MEW - MyEtherWallet.
that wants to buy some altcoins
If buying is your goal, if you do consider spending some good money on crypto, then I'd advise a hardware wallet that works with altcoins too.
Yes, it'll cost some money, but it decreases greatly the chances you get your coins/tokens stolen.
And then you can use even online MEW for ETH and tokens, and you can look farther what software wallet companion you can use with your hardware wallet.
PS. Beware, altcoins are too rarely better investment than bitcoin. Of course, invest as you think, just don't exaggerate.
There is no good open source wallet that support too many coins (multi-coins) so you should download several open source wallets:
If you have little money, buy a hardware wallet.

Some altcoins have their own forms of electrum too.
Without knowing what altcoins you're wanting to store/buy it makes it harder to give recommendations (eg some hardware wallets don't have many coins but they have a lot of the major ones).

OP sounds like someone who can't afford hardware wallet that's why they give three examples of mobile wallets that supports altcoins only, I trust electrum more but since that only supports BTC the next best alternative is hardware wallet, don't worry they supports altcoins too and if I'm right that you can't afford hardware wallet take trust wallet.
