Hi,

It is worth installing on Android?
Or rather Bitdefender?
It doesn't slow down the phone much?
Phishing protection is good?
Scans the links you open in your Facebook browser?
VPN is fast?

Regards

In my experience the best protection for Android is offered by Bitdefender, followed by Eset and Avast. If you need a good VPN for a small amount of money, it is better to take Avast, if money does not matter, then Bitdefender. If you need an antivirus that just works well and reliably protects your browser, then Eset is better, and you should buy a VPN from a specialized company.

@CyberDevil is this your phone ? If so , i think its a tiny bit overkill, so many AV.
Yes, this is my phone. 😂 All antiviruses except Eset and Bitdefender are in sleep mode. My main antivirus is Eset. :)

Are you sure that G Data has its own engine on Android too? Typically, small companies use the big brother engines for Android. For example, Emsisoft is literally selling Bitdefender without even changing the interface.

I don't use an AV on my phone because I mainly use it for calls & texts. But if your phone is your primary device, or heavily used for surfing, social media, etc. then one of the suggested AVs may be worth it.

I've used both on my Android, and they each have their pros and cons. Bitdefender is solid with great phishing protection and doesn't slow down my phone noticeably. It does scan links, including those opened in the Facebook browser, and the VPN is pretty fast. It's a strong option if you're looking for comprehensive security without performance issues.
