try "Mycelium", i've been using it for a long time now and i can say my coins there are secured, but dont forget to make a backup always as we dont know what can happen to our devices Smiley

I would say most secure is that added with hardware wallet.  You can use it on your mobile on:

Trezor: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1298917.0
Ledger Nano: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1305888.0

Electrum is good in all its security features as well as accessibility. You can go for it. Have a try with electrum, sure you will feel its better than other wallets that are found in the market. Blockchain wallet also good. The best option found in blockchain is that it gives suggestion on various traders with whom we can make trade based on the trusty feedback from various users.

Since you are a android user Try blockchain app
Blockchain is not much feature loaded like others but it is Secure and easy to use as far as I know
And yeah in today's generation Security should always be given First priority

I would follow this advice. Mycelium is a solid android bitcoin wallet that has been doing its job for a long time now.

You could add in a trezor hardware wallet as suggested, but that sets you back about 0.25 bitcoin at the moment.

I still say most common is one such as MyCelium with combination of hardware wallet.   You get to keep all the security of a hardware wallet, and can use it on a mobile.   

I don't think anything can beat hardware wallet/mobile phpne on mobile security.  At least if done right.

I use mycelium, they are pretty safe enough, I'm experimenting also with greenbits until now they are safe too.

I recommend you to use mycelium too.
and I want to mention something about backups that it has a secure phase to recover your wallet only by memorising 12 words , also you do have access to your private keys and you can export them whenever you want.
and for more security, you can set a 6 numbers pincode that no transactions or export can happen without entering this code

Mycelium is good to use as app in android. Can someone suggest a good wallet that can used in windows phone.

Electrum is available on android? Because I am pretty sure it's not.

Mycelium or Copay.

Copay doesn't lets you have the keys, they provide a seed now but I don't know how to use it to extract the keys. I had some problems with it recently and I wouldn't recommend it until there's a way to get the private keys out.

I still say it's mycellium with a hardware wallet attached to mobile.  You get the mobility of MyCellium, with the security of a hardware wallet.

That is hard to beat as far as mobile security.

Does anyone know how does mycellium android bitcoin wallet stores private key on device? I know private keys never leave the device(according to developers) is that really true? any way to verify it?And how does the keys are stored on the device,encrypted? Can any malware on my device just backup my whole mycellium wallet and transfer the backup over internet and the hacker restore and steals my bitcoin.This is very much possible right?
P.S Sorry for being over paranoid Tongue

I can suggest you very nice and easy wallet which is airbitz:
https://airbitz.co/bitcoin-wallet/
Available in play-store of course:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbitz
I'm using it with success, very pretty yet clean design.
Works smooth like silk and some say it is the most secured wallet for android.
It has few functions for storing private keys, notations for transactions and built in browser
with BTCstores in your area,  also it has some good gift-cards/bonus deals.

As to this issue just install some firewall and observe traffic. Smiley
