Model Answer:
I am a trendy girl here in India and want to keep pace with the modernity. So, I 
do not miss the chances to be in track of the modern age. Recently I have 
bought a smartphone for my personal use by replacing the old mobile phone 
set I had. 
Recently, mobile phones have become one of the most important companions 
for us. We cannot do a single moment without the mobile phone. It has 
happened as the time has been advanced to a great extent. People need to be 
in touch constantly and at the present time this is highly important. Hence, the 
need of mobile phones emerged. Earlier, people did not have so much urgency 
to maintain a close interaction but for the need of time, the close association 
has become important. The interaction is maintained by communication and 
mobile phone is the tool that helps people to keep connected with all. In line 
with the trend, I also used a mobile phone but the handset was old. So, I have 
bought this new handset. 
In Delhi, there are a wide number of shopping malls and stores who sell mobile 
phone sets. I bought my HTC 626G+ dual sim mobile phone from a local mobile 
phone selling store in Delhi. The shop is named as The Mobile Store. The store 
location is at Abhishekh Tower in Alakanda in New Delhi. The store sells mobile 
phones of different brands and I preferred HTC for some specific reasons. The 
first thing is that I needed a clear and high-resolution camera to click pictures. 
Moreover, I needed to browse the internet on the mobile when I am out and 
for that, I needed a handset that will provide me a good speed with the 
internet. Budgeting was another important issue. Since I am a student, I could 
not afford very expensive mobile phones like the latest iPhone or Samsung. So, 
I picked the HTC from the store to meet my needs. 
HTC is a renowned brand and the price range varies based on the phone set 
features. The phone that I bought cost me rupees only 12999. They have less 
pricy phones for use but I picked this one based on my budget. In fact, I had 
rupees 15,000 as my budget and planned to have a phone set within this 
range. So, when I found that I could get it within 13,000 rupees, I decided to 
get the phone. The phone is excellent and I could also use double sim cards in

a single set. I do not need to carry a couple of mobile phones with me for each 
of the sim cards. Besides, the phone owns some special features like 5 inches 
touch screen display and the display resolution is 720*1280 pixels. Besides, the 
mobile has a camera of 13 megapixels while the front camera belongs to 2.2 
megapixels. Moreover, the screen feels smoother when I touch it either to 
make phone calls or browse the internet. The internet speed is much faster 
than I expected. 
I bought the phone considering several aspects and having the best use of the 
phone. Firstly I needed a mobile phone that will serve all of my purposes and 
the battery should last longer. HTC 626 G+ is the same as I expected. The 
battery backup is satisfactory and I could use it easily without charging for at 
least two days. My friend, who took me to the store, advised me to take HTC as 
he is also using the same phone. Besides, the phone looked smarter than the 
other phones to me and the colour was gorgeous. Pricing was another 
important dominating factor here and considering all the issues, I have bought 
the phone. Now I use the phone for different purposes. I use it mostly to click 
pictures and often I take ‘selfies’ with my friends and upload them on the 
social networking site – Facebook through the mobile phone. Moreover, I use 
the phone for browsing the internet when I am out of my home. Since I do not 
have any laptop or modem, I have to rely on my cell phone for the internet. 
Since this is an android device, I can easily install my preferred apps or games 
and often play the games in my leisure. I am happy indeed with the phone.
