Is the Electrum wallet really one of the best recommendation for bitcoin newbie ?
Tell me what is the reason. Currently I am still using an android phone for daily need and browsing this bitcoin forum.
you said you are using an androind phone for daily need and using this forum. I don't know if you are asking for a wallet for you phone or you use a PC/laptop as well. but Electrum does not work on phone (I don't think so at least, unless they recently released an app) if you are looking for a good wallet for your Android phone then Coinomi would be good for you. I've been using that on my phone for 2 years. and haven't faced any problems. it supports hundreds of coins includind Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Electrum is Good for PC.
