3. INTRODUCTION
Mobile phone has become an integral part of human daily and personal
communication across the globe
Mobile phone was developed in 1979. In India it was introduced in 1994. But it
became familiar only in the beginning of year 2000
It is a very fast point to point communication. It helps one to send and receive
information anytime and anywhere
Mobile phone plays a predominant role in the modern life because mobile phones
are used by people at all levels
4. With 3G mobile data networks quickly becoming reliable and affordable, we see a big shift
in the way users consume information on their handhelds
Mobile phone is a milestone that indicates success, not only financially but also culturally
in term of the integration within society
Mobile phone usages have resulted in greater electronic interactions between friends and
family at the expense of face to face interaction which has dramatically reduced
Consequently, it could be proposed that mobile phones are changing individual cultural
norms and values

22. CHI SQUARE TESTING
Chi-square is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with
data we would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis
The chi-square test is always testing what scientists call the null
hypothesis, which states that there is no significant difference between the
expected and observed result
The formula for calculating chi-square (chi2) is:
chi2= (o-e)2/e
That is, chi-square is the sum of the squared difference between observed (o)
and the expected (e) data (or the deviation, d), divided by the expected data in
all possible categories.
23. Sample size=100 ,

Hypothesis testing is based on whether the price of mobile phone is important

25. Analysis of chi square testing
• Calculated
value of (O-E)²/E=1.379
• Degree of freedom = (r-1)(c-1)=(2-1)(2-1) =1
• Tabulated value of Z= 1.96 (tabulated value > calculated value so
hypothesis is accepted.)
Hence, we concluded that price is one of the important factor for
buying behavior of mobile phone
26. RECOMMENDATIONS
The survey and analysis that we have conducted has brought out certain interesting facts
and given insights into the buyer behaviour in case of mobile handsets. Using these insights
we suggest a few recommendations to the handset brands to beat the ever-winning brand
SAMSUNG.
How to be on top of the game?
Focus On Product & Price
Be a Technology Driven Company
Utility more important…Aesthetics come second…
27. CONCLUSION
Handset buying is a high involvement product wherein the consumer wants to
know from different sources about brands, though SAMSUNG is the first name that
comes to their minds
Word of mouth plays an important role in such products and therefore it is
important for the product to be of important quality
Companies should therefore concentrate more on developing the first P and make
it available at reasonable and reachable prices.
So, the product itself becomes the promotion for the brand…….
28. SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The available researches do not provide the proper information about
the behaviour of customers towards mobile phones. So this study is
aimed to know the awareness of mobile phones among people
among people. To study the psychology of the customers behind their
choice of mobiles.
29. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
• The study suffers from the major limitation of obsolesce of the
information
• There is a biased opinion based upon the preference of the data
provider on the basis of his/her purview
