Tor Browser for Android opens onion addresses the same as the desktop build. The honest part of this page is everything after that sentence.
A phone is a device with a permanent network identity, a location history, an app store account tied to your name, and a set of background services you cannot see or stop. None of that breaks the Tor connection. All of it means the device knows a great deal about you, and the device is the part sitting in your hand.
A desktop can be cleaned. A live USB forgets on its own. A phone does neither, and it travels with you.
Many keyboards send what you type to a server for prediction and improvement. That is a bad fit for typing a password or an address. Switch to a keyboard that works entirely on the device, and turn learning off. This is easy to overlook and it undoes everything else.
Reading and checking an order on a phone is reasonable. Running everything from one is a compromise you should make deliberately rather than by default.
