Trend Micro Mobile Security for Android covers the core threats: malicious apps, ransomware, dangerous websites, unsafe Wi-Fi networks and unwanted access to the device. It leans on Trend Micro's cloud-based Smart Protection Network and Mobile App Reputation technology to judge apps and sites before they reach you, stops apps from loading risky websites, and flags phishing emails and scam sites. Optimization tools help keep the phone running smoothly. Its widest advantage is compatibility, since it runs on Android 5.0 or later, so it fits older handsets the Norton and ESET apps no longer support. The product page does not list a phone-only USD price, so the clearest way to buy it is Maximum Security, which covers up to five devices across Android, iOS, Windows and Mac for $74.95 in the first year and renews at $104.95. That is reasonable for a household, but it is the most expensive starting point here, and the mobile feature list is thinner on scam calls and texts than the top picks.
