What is the best ETH wallet? Android

I will put in it about 2000 USD I will put them for a year

I don't want any hardware wallet

Free and safe

My choices would be:

a. Trust (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wallet.crypto.trustapp)
b. imToken (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.consenlabs.token)

Both of them support ERC20 tokens, have a slick design and store your private keys locally.

I'd suggest taking a look at Enjin. I think it looks great too

It depends where you are but Ethos may be worth a look too. It was released in USA today and Netherlands a couple days ago. It will (eventually) have a fiat gateway too!

I would suggest using Imtoken. It is a trusted Android wallet than any other wallet. You may use it, It is easy and secure too. But Man, You have 2J USD, Then why you are not going for the hardware wallet? Without hardware wallet, every wallet has a bad impression. By the way, Good Luck

Trust wallet is your best bet. Enjin, imtoken, Coinomi and Exodus are all good options but they are not open source just keep that in mind (some people care about that more than others). As sinone mentioned, however, you're going to be holding a nice chunk of change in this wallet. If you lost these funds, would it hurt you financially? Usually when the answer is yes it's worth investing in a hardware wallet.

On the phone, I am still used to using imToken.
It's really convenient and simple. I usually use imToken to receive management tokens.
imToken supports iOS and android.

I wouldn't consider storing your ETH on your phone safe, I would go for a desktop wallet like MEW or the official ETH wallet you dl to your desktop from the official eth website.

For both choice, i will pick B. imToken
But for more safety, I shoud recommended MEW https://myetherwallet.com and use keystore :)

If you planned to put it for year then better stored it on MyEtherWallet itself. Why trust other applications if all you need to do is to save your private key. Saved it on your notes or whatever you preferred. The purpose is to hold for long so that is way more better.

No need for installing app or whatever. Just saved your private keys and then that's it.

Myetherwallet is the best and one of the safest way to store ETH, as you are aksing about mobile app. My vote is with Coinbase it is an easy to use, trusted app.

Hey, I use a Ledger Nano S and the "Ledger Wallet Ethereum" app for Chrome to access it. I understand that I could be using MyEtherWallet in combination with my Ledger instead, but I don't understand what benefits or differences I would see by doing so. Could you or someone else elaborate?

Best eth wallet for Airdroid is Imtoken or MyEtherWallet on website, Metamask also best eth wallet with best protect, If you remembered your password your wallet will be safety.

I'd like to know more about Imtoken. Myetherwallet can be access on mobile device (android) and it will be helpful to you if you don't want expenses if necessary just to have a android eth wallet to use. Better to bookmarked myetherwallet if you want to use though.

First welcome to the eth Community :) I would advise you to get familiar with parity. But if you want simply a wallet you can use the official myetherwallet but be sure you're using the official website... there was some scam arrond https://www.myetherwallet.com/

The best ETH wallet app is Imtoken wallet. It is quiet simple to use and safe too

I recommend using
Ethereum Wallet by Freewallet. Store, send and receive ETH using a single application designed and developed by the Freewallet team.

i safe wallet is where you can see and store your private key. Forget about all wallets without privat key

Holding $ 2000 for 1 year can make many profits. You can use online wallet without using the hardware wallet. You will not be able to get backup because Android Apps is uninstalled or mobile lost. Online Wallet will give you backup codes or private key. As a result, you will be protected and you will be able to check the account. If necessary, you can complete the transaction.
You can learn a lot here cointelegraph (https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-for-beginners/ethereum-wallets#hardware-wallets)

To the OP, if you only want to store, may I ask why you'd want to use android over the safer
mew/MetaMask? Thanks

Coinomi is the best app for mobile use. Jaxx is the another best mobile wallet. If you want to save only Etherium, use it in the coinbase. At present, a coinbase is very popular. Myetherwallet, archive of all coins.

I would like to recommend imToken (https://token.im/) and Eidoo (https://eidoo.io/) are good wallets to use with your Android. Because they have good security and they both support ERC20 tokens too.

Thanks a lot for your review, glad you like our app!

If you are considering to hold it for a year then I would recommend you to go with offline wallet but as you said that you are not comfortable with hardware wallet then you can try paper wallet to store your funds. Crypto is all about self-responsibility and hence keeping our funds where it is vulnerable is not recommended. Trust me or not but offline wallets are most secure in my opinion as far as you are maintaining physical security.

MEW is okay but due to some circumstances and incidents, I wouldn't put that amount to a web based wallet but you if you don't have choice, just use .JSON file for accessing.

Coinomi is an easy-to-use android wallet that you can have recovery phrases to gain access again to your wallet, any wallet will do as long as you have the private keys.

If you don't want a hardware wallet and you're looking to for something compatible with Android, I would check out Enjin Wallet (https://www.enjin.com/?ref=19273224). It is highly thought of in the cryptocommunity (to our knowledge at least).

You can find a list of all the available Android-wallets and how the cryptocommunity has rated them here:

Good luck!

All the best,

I prefer my ether wallet.You can also use it and connect it through metamask so that there will be no chance of your fund stolen. If you wish to use it, you can but make sure to connect metamask for extra security as your amount are pretty big.

My ether wallet https://myetherwallet.com  best etherium wallet. It also use for all coin store. Because it's support every 20ERC token. But there are a lack. MEW has not supported only Bitcoin. For mobile use, Jaxx is the  best  wallet.

To my own perspective wallet created from imtoken is the best

I would like to recommended MEW (https://myetherwallet.com) which you can use in your Android Phone and which also safe and secure until you as long as you're using the correct link.

ImToken is better

According to me MEW is the best Wallet for android & I also use that. it's give me safe and secure & I believed it also give you that.

Mobile wallets are among the most attractive crypto wallets, featuring practicality and ease of use. The most attractive feature is undoubtedly receiving or sending cryptographic payments anytime, anywhere. If you are looking for an Android wallet, i recommend Coinomi, supports nearly 100 cryptocurrencies and also Ethereum. Coinomi meets requirements such as privacy and anonymity.

I suggest Trust. Even if you’re a newbie, the app is very user friendly, easy to understand, and easy to get used to.
