There are also many famous anti-malware apps for Android. But unfortunately, in many cases, keeping a useless virus suite on your device can cause your battery to drain, your processing power to be eaten, and your phone generally slowed down as a result of keeping a virus protection application running in the background of your phone.

The safest defense is common sense. It's important to practice safe choices when using your phone. A good starting place is to limit your apps to the Google Play Store. Not only is the Play Store the largest available market for phones today, it also happens to be the safest place to download apps.

In addition, you had better enable the Google Play Protect.

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.
The minimalist app available on Play Store: https://goo.gl/ws42fN

Yes but I have read that a VPN is also useful for security as this one is claiming https://www.purevpn.com/blog/mobile-vpn/ is it true?

Yes it's true but a VPN don't have a antivirus so you won't be protected by the viruses, malwares and spywares etc.
