Downloading the original electrum from electrum.org is the best rather than using third party sites like Google playstore to download it for not to download the fake ones.

Download the Android version of Electrum that matches the smartphone specifications (armeabi/arm64) from the official site:
https://electrum.org/#download; https://download.electrum.org/

Also, verify the PGP signature and make sure it matches ThomasV's public key or fingerprint:

As an example:

After that, install the Electrum APK file manually on the Android smartphone.

THIS! Thank you. Even in case Electrum website is hacked (hypothetical), checking the PGP signature will save your security.

Also I see 2 different topics about fake Electrums in Google Store on front page of Beginners & Help now. There is so much fake software. If new topic for each one, it will be a whole forum.
