I have an android phone. I am looking to install a bitcoin wallet. What are my options and which bitcoin wallet is the best one.
I only need non-custodial wallets which are decentralized.

You have a variety of choices like Blockchain wallet or BitPay. Choose one from this list: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet?step=5&platform=androidHowever, i think Electrum would be your best choice. A friendly-use client supports: - bech32 addresses. - Adjusted fees. - RBF / CPFP - Lightening network. - Import/Export addresses. - Watch only wallet. And a lot of other amazing features that you won't find in any other non-custudial wallets.

First of all note that being non-custodial isn't enough. If you want your fund to be secure, you should use a open-source wallet. For example, both trustwallet and exodus are are non-custosial (which means they give you full access to your keys). But they are not secure. Because we don't know whether the keys are stored on their server or not. As suggested by Kavelj22 in the above post too, I recommend you to use electrum. Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website.

We have different non custodial Wallet and custodial Wallet so it's base on you to select the one that is suitable to you, so making it so simple and easier you have to use Google searching button, then Google will list the wallet to you and you have to install the application, But i will prefe you to use electrum but other's are there.

I agree. Electrum is the best choice for bitcoin wallets. I would also give samourai a try as they have an android version . If you are using altcoins , you can also use coinomi. It is a closed source wallet (just like all multicurrency wallets are), but it is a very old one and I use it for years, i never had problems. Just be careful never to add lots of funds in a mobile wallet, as none of them are really safe.

Also i am confused between BRD and Electrum. Is BRD open source too ?
Their code is available on github. But since I haven't ever used it, I can't say how secure it is.
so making it so simple and easier you have to use Google searching button, then Google will list the wallet to you and you have to install the application, But i will prefe you to use Binance or coinbase but other's are there.
You should never use google for finding a wallet. If you use google, there's a probability that you download a fake wallet or malware. Also, Binance is not a wallet. It's an exchange and they have full control over users fund.

If you want a decent privacy and some sort of control over your wallet and since you're a beginner, you can probably benefit from using Bitcoin wallet. And you might want to take the test on the link given by @Kavelj22 so you can see what's recommended to you.

In my opinion you can use coinbase or coinomi wallet or popular android wallets like trust , Safepal these are the best BTC storage wallets for you currently and I'm also using, you can try the experience right from chplay Hey , These wallets are used by many investors about their reliability, you can rest assured.

Yeah accepted binance is a blockchain, it's a errors via fast typing, i was trying to type electrum.
I might assumed it's kind of typo, but you recommend coinbase as well not just binance which are not both wallet. And can't understand how binance's blockchain is connected or related as a wallet. Both requires KYC verification which probably contradicts decentralization

This shows how much lack of knowledge we have and yet we think we are the experts of crypto. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

If you have more funds, i will recommend you to use a hardware wallet. You can use Ledger Nano S or Trezor.

Download Electrum from the website and not on the Google play store. Make sure that you have "install from other sources" on your phone ticked which will allow you to install the .apk Verify that it has not been tampered with by verfiying the hash with the keys that they have published on their website. If you have more funds, i will recommend you to use a hardware wallet. You can use Ledger Nano S or Trezor.
You cannot use hardware wallets with your phone he is asking for a wallet that is compatible with Android. I have an android phone. I am looking to install a bitcoin wallet. What are my options and which bitcoin wallet is the best one.
I only need non-custodial wallets which are decentralized.
In my opinion you can use coinbase or coinomi wallet or popular android wallets like trust , Safepal these are the best BTC storage wallets for you currently and I'm also using, you can try the experience right from chplay Hey , These wallets are used by many investors about their reliability, you can rest assured. You do not own your private keys with Coinbase or Coinomo please stop advising people to use these services when it could put their funds at risk.

At opposite, it may leads him to the wrong target as those clients are not fully decentralized and own by centralized entities like trust wallet or coinbase. 3- Try not to suggest custodial wallets for newbies. We want users to get a better knowledge by using the right client and not just following investors.

coinbase is an exchange, you won't have the private key with it. i'm not sure with coinomi but i think you still have the private key with it too, we just are not sure if they do have the copy of the private key with them, it's a close source wallet. although i have seen some users like using coinomi because you can use the wallet to trade because its a hybrid wallet with exchange inside it.
electrum is the only one that is trusted the most even with desktop wallets. it doesn't download the whole blockchain too.

Yes, elektrum is still my favorite wallet choice for android phones and elektrum is more focused on speed and simplicity, with low resource usage and advantages or disadvantages you can find on google. and my main reason is because i have been using elektrum wallet for a long time, and so far no problem and safe for me, and for altcoins i use coinomi and both i think are good for android phone.

You can use coinomi and it is good enough to sore your bitcoin. Besides, electrum is trusted and well known wallet that you can install. But be sure to download and install it from official website.
