Cake Wallet, but configure it in watch-only mode and have an old Android phone that never connects to the internet as the actual wallet.

Electrum has a mobile version but it has some limitations.
Cake wallet that NotATether suggested is a very good wallet, it is one of the best mobile wallets. Just like on Electrum mobile wallet, you can not use less than 1 sat/vbyte for making transactions.
Bluewallet is also a very good mobile wallet. It is also one of the best mobile wallet. You can use 1 sat/vbyte for making transactions.

Are you new to crypto as well? There are some good mobile wallets here. https://learnmeabitcoin.com/beginners/wallets/#mobile-walletsI personally use Electrum mobile, but I'm also working on getting a hardware wallet soon. Mycelium is not part of the the wallet that I can recommend anyone. Although, it is an open source wallet but the problem is that it is not support replace-by-fee. I do not use the wallet anymore since a long time ago. Or is it now supporting RBF? Is there a good, high-quality wallet that works exclusively with Bitcoin?
Whenever I hear about mobile wallets, they're always wallets that work with multiple crypto, not just Bitcoin. I don't like multi-currency wallets.
Bluewallet is not supporting any altcoins. You can use Cake wallet only for bitcoin if you want. I use it only for bitcoin. If you want to use it for altcoins, you will need to use it to generate another seed phrase.

Whenever I hear about mobile wallets, they're always wallets that work with multiple crypto, not just Bitcoin.
At least one mobile wallet is focused solely on Bitcoin no other crypto at all and that’s Envoy from reputable Foundation team, known for their Passport line of hardware wallets. I assume OP would be pleased with Envoy’s functionality which makes the wallet easy to use as well as its security. But of course, they should decide for themselves which wallet to choose, ideally after testing a few of options suggested in this thread.

Since you probably use the Electrum Wallet for Desktop, I'll suggest Bluewallet because: - It's the only wallet compatible with the Electrum seed phrases (for importing wallets only, not for creating seed phrases Electrum), you can even import your native Electrum wallet into Bluewallet, although it's not recommended, you can use it as a last resort). - It has RBF (bump fee - each wallet gives it a different name). - It can be used to monitor the balance of offline wallets (watch-only on the online device). It's Bitcoin-only (I see this more as an advantage). But if you're looking for a multicoin alternative, options like Cake Wallet and Stack Wallet are available. - I suggest visiting this thread to help you with your choice: list Multicoin Open Source Wallets
You mentioned you're going to buy a hardware wallet. Do you already have a defined choice?

What's a better alternative to Electrum PC wallet? No more laptop but I have a mobile phone, is there a better mobile BTC wallet I can use before I get a hardware wallet, for the main time, maybe 6 months the highest Before answering this, let me ask you some questions to think about: - What amount are you storing? If it's $100, go for it! If it's $50k, don't do it.
- Why wait 6 months? If you're storing crypto now, you can just as well get a (Trezor?) hardware wallet now.
- Would cold storage work for you, or are you going to make regular payments?
I, personally, wouldn't trust a mobile phone more than a Linux PC.

Honestly, there's no better mobile wallet if the main purpose of using the wallet is for long term holding or holding a large amount because 99.5% of all mobile wallet a vunerable to attack and the concept of a mobile wallet is to hold small amounts of crypto, which are mainly meant for seamless payment through crypto. The best thing you can do is to get a hardware wallet, unless you're going for Envoy from passport, which is a combination of a hot and cold wallet in one place

If you only want to use wallet for Bitcoin than I would suggest staying with Electrum wallet, but there are some good alternatives. Best alternative for me in Sparrow wallet, that is better in some segments compared to Electrum and it has great support for all hardware wallets. If you want to have wallet with cutting edge privacy features and Silent Payments and Payjoin v2 than you can check Cake wallet.
