To get the last row of each group, call last() after grouping.
Example
Consider the following DataFrame:
df = pd.DataFrame({"price":[200,300,700,900], "brand":["apple", "google", "apple", "google"], "device":["phone","phone","computer","phone"]})df
price brand device0 200 apple phone1 300 google phone2 700 apple computer3 900 google phone
To get the last row of each brand group:
df.groupby("brand").last()
price devicebrand apple 700 computergoogle 900 phone
Note that groupby(~) preserves the order of the rows, and so it is guaranteed to get the last occurrence of each brand in this case.

As a side note, you could also fetch the last n rows of each group using the tail(n) method:
df.groupby("brand").tail(2)
price brand device0 200 apple phone1 300 google phone2 700 apple computer3 900 google phone
