This project has been a great learning experience for me. At the sometime it gave me enough scope to
implement my analytical ability.
The first part of the project gives the overview of smart phone brands. Here we talk about the various
types of factors affecting smart phones purchase and also give an overview of consumer buying
behaviour. All the topics have been covered in a very systematic way. The language has been kept simple
so that even a layman could understand.
The Second part consists of research and their analysis, collected through a survey done on ! people.
The study was carried out in "anpur in at various outlets and major markets of the city. The data
collected have been well organi#ed and presented. Hope the research findings and conclusions will be of
use.
The Third part consists of conclusion and recommendation which is actually drawn apart from the result
of survey done on ! peoples. The basic thing that i analy#ed from data collected is that there is great
variation in the perception of consumers towards smart phones.

1. INT&O*1CTION
$obile technology has revolutioni#ed our communication platform. Small%form handheld devices such as
mobile phones and tablets are smarter, so higher potential for consumers to use them for different
purposes. &umber of people who use Smartphone on a daily basis has kept growing in the past few years.
'ith competition accelerating in fashion industry, Smartphone Apps have been used widely in delivering
value%added services. Smartphone sales in (ndia increased by )**.+, making it the world-s fastest
growing Smartphone market in the last .uarter of /!). (t also revealed that worldwide, smart phones
sales now account for 0.*, of overall mobile phone sales in /!), exceeding annual sales of feature
phones for the first time.
1.1Smartphone
A Smartphone is a mobile phone that integrates a feature phone and a mobile computing platform, and the
models today even combine functions such as digital cameras, media players, high%speed data access via
'i%1i, 23S navigation, and other applications. Typically, smart phones also comprise web browsers and
high%resolution touch screens, which provide people better browsing experience. 'hile a traditional
feature phone includes some basic software such as an address book and games, a Smartphone has the
capability of doing more. 4ne of the significant differences between a feature phone and a Smartphone is
that a Smartphone can install third%party applications from applications store. 5sers are able to download
and install application on their operating systems, such as personal finance managers, time schedule,
navigators, and games. 2enerally, a Smartphone is based on a certain operating system that allows phone
users to install applications on it. Systems include Apple-s i4S, 2oogle-s Android, $icrosoft-s 'indows
3hone, &okia-s Symbian, and 6im-s 7lackberry 4S.Smartphones industry is meeting new standards
everyday. (n the year /!) we have seen new products and new highs and lows in the market. The
industry in (ndia is facing challenges and an increased flow of budget handsets. The market also
responded well to new flagship launches. 'hat has the new year in store for the smartphone market8
'hat will the direction of trends in this industry in /!)98 'e bring you a speculation of how the industry
will change in /!)9 in (ndia for the (ndian and international players.
Android to win over iOS again
Since last two years we have seen Android taking a lead over all other operating systems in the
worldwide sale of smartphones. /!) figures from 2artner, (:; and ;yber media 6esearch pointed to
gradual popularity of Android handsets owing to low cost of these devices.
(n the year /!)9 a new faster $ediaTek processor will bring the octa%core power phone to the budget
of 6s./!!!!. This will make the .uad%core phones <powered by $ediaTek processor= fall below the price
of 6s.)!" making them more affordable then ever. :o you still think Android will not take more market
share in Smartphone segment8 This also will mean that even after the availability of octa-core phones,
quad-cores will register more sales while octa-cores will show a growth.
CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR TOWARDS SMARTPHONE Page 4
RASHI GARG 137634
Nokia to rise again with Lumia as its backbone
&okia is back in the market registering presence with its >umia and Asha phones. The Asha phones will
get a tough competition from low cost dual and .uad%core Android phones in /!)9. 'e expect &okia to
put lot of effort in >umia range of smartphones, specially on camera, processing power and touch
interface. &ow that &okia mobile division is already a part of $icrosoft, we would also understand that
the cost of 'indows phones will see an new low in /!)9.
HTC and LG to lose more
'here is the innovation with HT; phones8 'e saw ultrapixel camera, metal profile and fingerprint
scanners in HT; smartphones in /!). The company got into a mood to enter the budget segment with
the :esire 0!! which was a decent effort but was costly in comparison to those being offered by the
domestic counterparts. 'hile >2, Samsung and Apple are working of : camera, flexible displays and
more, we are yet to hear rumours about some good innovation from HT;. HT; phones that comes with
decent specs and also fit in pockets making a profit for the company is yet to be seen.
1or >2 though it has been innovative enough to compete with the biggies in smartphone market with
Android 4S phones, the company is not registering huge sale figures. >2 2/ flagship was not a great
sellig device, inspite of all its awesome specs and features. This compnay still needs to create an area for
its products in (ndian market.
Micromax will rule !ut will see competition
$icromax has been ruling the (ndian smartphone market with its cheaper phone and 0%inchers. The many
factors that allow its consolidation of its market position ( good products, and almost nil competition from
the (ndian market. 'e speculate that the year /!)9 will be a difficult year for $icromax, The company is
moving towards a premium segment today and we have seen other coming up with better phones before
$icromax-s flagships. i7erry launched its &uclea &) with better specs than ;anvas 9, (ntex announced
an octa%core before $icromax could announce one. "arbonn, ;elkon, 'ickedleaks, ?en also came up
with good phones that were cheaper than ;anvas counterparts. >ava is yet to announce its (ris 3ro series
of phones and tablets. Tough competitions lies ahead of $icromax will be visible
Mass availa!ilit" o# #lexi!le displa" phones will start !ut $ndians have to wait
Samsung and >2 made a debut on the flexible display phones this year with two new entrants% 2alaxy
6ound and 2 1lex. This year Apple got a patent on 4>@: display and rumors and leaked information till
date shows Apple will also be working on such smartphone displays. The pressure definitely builds up
with three competitors. 'e speculate the two korean companies will try and buckle up mass production of
flexible displays to flood the market before Apple brings one. Apple might go for such a phone in /!)0.
'hile the (nternational smartphone industry go through all the flexi%upheavals, (ndia will remain away
from the flexible phones. These will come at a premium price point making them unaffordable. They will
reach only few pockets, and we will have to wait for some time till ;hinese manufacturers come with
cheaper flexible options. This we do not see happening in /!)9.
%aster processors to #lood mar&et
Samsung has got its @xynos octa%core processor in the market. To answer this $ediaTek launched its
octa%core processor in /!). (ndian market will see ;anvas octa%core, (ntex octa%core and many others

Hawkins, 7est and ;oney </!!9= considered that consumer behavior is the study of why, when, where,
and how individuals, groups, or organi#ations and the processes they use to select, secure, use, and
dispose of products, services, experiences, or ideas to satisfy needs and the impact that these processes
have on the consumer and society. This definition is rather broader than the traditional point of view,
CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR TOWARDS SMARTPHONE Page 7

which indicates that consumer behavior focuses on only the circumstance before and after the buying
behavior. The broad sense would be helpful for study elements that affect consumer behavior, including

$ost preferred brand in smart phone market is Apple followed by Samsung and HT;.
The main reason for smart phone purchase is its features.
(nternet retailers I review I technology websites is an important source of information to consumer.
$ostly consumer wants to opt for different smart phone brands instead of looking for same brand. So
consumer is not brand loyal in case of Smartphone.
Smart phone companies should focus more on advertisements on internet websites.
As consumer wants more and more features so smart phone manufacturers should increase the number of
features. As the consumer prefers word of mouth or consulting someone technology savvy, so smart
phone brands must maintain their good will and increase services.
