× What I usually compare prices because I'm budget conscious and I want to get value for money.
✓ I usually compare prices because I'm budget-conscious and I want to get value for money.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'What' at the start, which is unnecessary and makes the structure ungrammatical. Removing 'What' and using the simple present 'I usually compare' matches the habitual action expressed. Also add a hyphen in 'budget-conscious' as a compound adjective. Suggestion: begin with the subject 'I' for clear present-tense habitual statements.'
× For example, when I buy a laptop, I with internal filters like specifications and external factors like color and design which makes decision making slow.
✓ For example, when I buy a laptop, I use internal filters like specifications and external factors like color and design, which make decision making slow.
The original sentence is missing the verb 'use' after 'I', creating a sentence structure error and a problem with verb forms. Also 'which makes' is incorrect because it refers to plural noun phrase 'internal filters and external factors', so the correct verb is 'make'. Suggestion: include the verb 'use' and ensure subject-verb agreement with plural subjects.'
× When I buy a phone I consider mine this 1st and prioritize youth features and value their value for the for money.
✓ When I buy a phone, I consider my needs first and prioritize useful features and value for money.
This sentence contains several structural and word-choice errors: 'mine this 1st' is ungrammatical — likely intended 'my needs first'; 'youth features' is incorrect — likely 'useful features'; and 'value their value for the for money' is repetitive and ungrammatical — should be 'value for money'. Suggestion: replace incorrect phrases with clear, common collocations: 'my needs', 'useful features', and 'value for money'.'
× For example I prefer Samsung and or Huawei because they have their functions I need and are more affordable than an expensive model like an iPhone.
✓ For example, I prefer Samsung or Huawei because they have the functions I need and are more affordable than expensive models like the iPhone.
The phrase 'and or' is incorrect — use either 'and' or 'or' depending on meaning; 'or' fits here for preference between brands. 'Their functions I need' is awkward; 'the functions I need' is natural. 'an expensive model' should be pluralized to 'expensive models' when comparing brands to a type like the iPhone, and use 'the iPhone' as a product family. Suggestion: choose the correct conjunction, use definite article with 'iPhone', and adjust noun forms for clarity.'
