Summary

1. Protect your device with a lock (password, pin, fingerprint)

2. Manage your app permissions properly, this is a must for avoiding malware!

3. Disable Unknown sources in your developer options when not in use

4. Watch what you click when browsing (goes without saying)

5. Keep your OS updated as well as your apps

6. An antivirus app is not really necessary, but having one doesn't hurt if you enjoy its features.
