Cultural Tip
In German, the genitive case (meines Geräts) sounds formal and is common in written language. In everyday speech many Germans replace it with a prepositional phrase: *das Modell von meinem Gerät*. Both are correct, but the genitive version sounds more polished and is preferred in customer‑service contexts.
