The rapid development of smartphone technology today creates challenges for consumers and manufacturers in determining an objective price range based on highly varied technical specifications. This study aims to implement the Random Forest algorithm in classifying smartphone price ranges into four main categories, namely low, mid-range, high, and flagship. The research method was carried out systematically through the stages of loading a dataset of 2,000 entries, exploratory data analysis (EDA) to ensure data integrity, and model training with a training and testing data split of 80:20. The results showed that the Random Forest model achieved a significant overall accuracy rate of 89%. Based on feature importance analysis, it was found that RAM capacity was the most dominant determining factor, contributing 47% to prediction accuracy, followed by battery power and screen resolution as supporting features. These findings have strategic implications for manufacturers to prioritize memory capacity upgrades in determining product pricing in the market, as well as providing guidance for consumers in assessing the fairness of a device's price based on its technical capabilities.

Keterbatasan akses sumber listrik di wilayah terpencil atau situasi darurat sering kali menghambat ketersediaan daya bagi perangkat telekomunikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang bangun alat pengisi daya (charger) hibrida yang mengintegrasikan penyimpanan energi kimia baterai dan konversi energi mekanik dinamo sebagai solusi alternatif. Metode penelitian menggunakan Research and Development (R&D) dengan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif untuk menguji stabilitas tegangan dan efektivitas pengisian daya. Prototipe dirancang menggunakan baterai 18650, dinamo 12V, dan modul regulator tegangan untuk menstabilkan luaran. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi regulator berhasil menstabilkan fluktuasi tegangan dinamo (rentang 5–12V) menjadi tegangan konstan 5V yang aman bagi ponsel. Pengujian efektivitas selama 15 menit menunjukkan kenaikan kapasitas baterai ponsel sebesar 5–10% pada mode baterai dan 2–4% pada mode dinamo. Disimpulkan bahwa meskipun mode dinamo memiliki efisiensi yang lebih rendah akibat variabilitas putaran manual, alat ini layak diimplementasikan sebagai solusi catu daya darurat (emergency kit) yang portabel, ekonomis, dan memiliki redundansi energi yang andal.

The rapid advancement of smartphone technology has shaped consumer buying behavior, especially among students who depend on these devices for learning and social interaction. This research examines how product features and price perceptions influence students’ decisions to purchase Oppo smartphones in Malang City. Using a quantitative research design, data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to 428 respondents and processed using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that both product features and perceived price positively and significantly affect purchasing decisions, with product features demonstrating a more dominant role. The proposed model accounts for 66.2% of the variance in purchase decisions, suggesting that these two factors play a substantial part in shaping consumer choices. The results highlight the need for manufacturers like Oppo to focus on continuous feature improvements and maintain competitive pricing to strengthen market appeal. It is also suggested that future studies integrate additional variables such as brand image, marketing promotions, or user experience to offer a broader and more in-depth explanation of the determinants influencing smartphone purchase behavior.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami strategi komunikasi orangtua dalam membatasi penggunaan ponsel anak usia 8–10 tahun di Dukuh Kayon, Desa Batursari, Kecamatan Mranggen, Kabupaten Demak. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan lima informan orangtua dari latar belakang sosial ekonomi berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola komunikasi orangtua bervariasi antara otoritatif, permisif terbatas, dan dialogis. Pola komunikasi dialogis dengan pendekatan active mediation lebih efektif dalam menumbuhkan literasi digital serta membentuk disiplin belajar anak. Kendala yang dihadapi orangtua meliputi keterbatasan waktu, tekanan sosial dari lingkungan teman sebaya, serta tuntutan akademik berbasis digital. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa strategi komunikasi dialogis yang konsisten, ditopang kolaborasi sekolah dan komunitas, dapat memperkuat pengasuhan digital dan meminimalkan dampak negatif penggunaan ponsel pada anak.
