Due to their versatility, smart phones are becoming more and more popular among users. This study's goal is to investigate the factors that affect consumer purchasing decisions for mobile phones. 638 mobile phone users from the Indian state of Haryana participated in the poll. It would generate about 3 million direct jobs and 2 million indirect jobs throughout this time. Discovering consumer attitudes that have a big impact on the business is the study's main objective. Buyers are preoccupied while making a Smartphone purchase. 125 people in total use smart phones. The samples were obtained by a straightforward random sampling process.
