What kind of information they would look for

Mostly Samsung Galaxy note feature updating information is mostly important aspects. This specific
line information is required for changing previous Samsung mobile sets. Some people have buying
attitude towards collection of new market introductory mobile sets with developed features (Yurchisin,
Dr. Jennifer, 2012). Brand craziness people are keen interest in supplement of new Samsung features.
But for authentic personality persons will buy Samsung with analysis of product review, feature update
and compare with self requirements according to existing requirements (Atique, 2013).

What sources of information they would use and why

Primary sources such as brand promotion, sales agent explanation will give accurate decision making
regarding Samsung Galaxy set purchasing. Secondary sources such as product review through journal,
paper advertisement, online survey and mostly TV advertisements will get accurate information about
purchase decision making (Bray, 2011).

What sources of information they would trust and why

Samsung literature review and mostly sales represent product review will get accurate information. For
authentic information gathers, existing Samsung users can be ultimate source of information for

days of collection (Bray, 2011). At new decade, Samsung always update about upcoming mobile

How they evaluation and selected alternative

Evaluation must be based on product quality and it is sure about the evaluation of Samsung Galaxy
Note must be positive. According to Smartphone criteria, Samsung cover up all situations. It is most
important of the using abilities. Consumer can use Smartphone at delicate ways. Compare to other
brand, Samsung can be used at impulsive (Mohankumar and Dineshkumar, 2014). There is no delicate
handling is observed (Mohankumar and Dineshkumar, 2014).
At negative aspects of evaluations, it costs high price compare to other handsets. So alternative
thinking will measure at Nokia brand. Compare to Samsung Brand it has similar configuration but at
affordable rate. Nokia has fast downloading feature Asha.

How many alternatives are evoked?

Alternative can be revoked with reducing the requirement amounts. It is hard to find all qualitative
Smartphone features at affordable rate. So budget amount need to be made for purchasing process.
Another easy solution is to determine another Brand markets. It is important to hold second thought of
brand regarding purchase process. Samsung has extensive range of mobile differentiation. Samsung
Galaxy pocket is the prime formation of Smartphone. So it will be better to make alternative within
Samsung mobile sets. Samsung tablet PC can recover all Smartphone features at similar price range
(Mohankumar and Dineshkumar, 2014).

How many alternatives are purchased?

At pre purchase stage, consumer will select main brand set for purchasing. Then they will go to
Samsung purchase centre. Samsung sales representative will give enormous suggestions regarding
purchase decision making (Bray, 2011). Then buyer will give another chance to evaluate another
Smartphone considering price, quality, comparative update features. So need to determine at least 4
Smartphone comparison factors.

Which decision rules are used to make a decision?

According to compensatory decision rules, consumer will buy decisions for strong durable ability
against all mechanical defects. At non compulsive decision rules, consumer can purchase considering
the factors of analysis and comparison evaluation. This evaluation will get satisfaction purchase
decision making as because an individual consumer evaluate and make extensive market research at pre
purchase step (Yurchisin, Dr. Jennifer, 2012).
Mostly compulsive decision rules will get motivation regarding purchase decision making. But for
durable necessity non compulsive market research will give motivate on decision making.

How many brands/providers are selected for the category?

For Jelly Bean android application, consumer will identify the factors where it is contained. After that
they will consider smoothen comfort touch (Bray, 2011). On this evaluation consumer will get extra
knowledge about the digital pen system is kept on Samsung Galaxy. At non compulsive decision rule,
Nokia, Motorola, Apple will be selection factors of brand.
