I know that many people like the latest generation of smartphones. We often find the news in which people queueing hours to pursue a newly released smartphone, and many articles suggest that the latest version is more reliable and fast. However, I prefer the old-generation ones. Here are a few reasons.
First, they are more affordable. I am using Samsung SM-G9700, which cost me 1300 yuan, bought in April, 2022. The version was released in early of 2019, and the price was over 4000 yuan. The clarity and sharpness of phone's camera, as well as the speed of the phone are acceptable to me.
Second, I like rooting my phone. I have another two cheap Google phones, Pixel 2 and Pixel 3, which are really very, very old, cost me 500 and 800 yuan, respectively. I bought them two years ago. I use Twitter, the international version of Tiktok and Telegram application on these rooted phones. As Google Pixel 8 phone was released late this year, I am considering buying a Google 7 or 6 phone. I believe all these phones are second-hand, although the dealer said they are new.
Old Generation Smartphones
I know that many people likeprefer the latest generation of smartphones.
I would say that "prefer" works better here since it emphasises the fact that some people like the latest generation of smartphones more than older ones.
We often find the news in which people queueingIn the news, we often hear about people who have queued for hours to pursuebuy a newly released smartphone, and many articles suggest that the latest version iss of smartphones are more reliable and fast.
"Find the news" wouldn't be understood here. I would instead suggest the phrase "to hear / read about something in the news". For clarity, I would also move "In the news" to the start of the sentence, although other ways of arranging this sentence are possible.
The news is always reporting on events that have already happened so I would suggest it is more natural to say "people who have queued for hours" (i.e. past tense) rather than "people queueing for hours" (i.e. present tense).
"To pursue" souds strange in this context, I would instead use "to buy" or "to obtain". You could also say "...to be among the first to buy a newly released smartphone" to highlight that they are hoping to get the new phone before anydody else.
Given you are making general statements about new smartphones in this sentence, it would be more natural to refer broadly to "the latest versions of smartphones" rather than "the latest version" of a particular smartphone.
However, I prefer the old-generation ones.
Here are a few reasons.
First, they are more affordable.
I am currently using a Samsung SM-G9700, bought in April 2022, which cost me 1,300 yuan, bought in April, 2022.
I would add "currently" to emphasise that this is the phone you are using at the moment. You will also need to add an article (i.e. "a Samsung SM-G9700").
It also sounds more natural to mention your purchase of the phone before the additional detail of the price you paid for it. I would therefore switch around the order of your second and third ideas in this sentence.
It's also very common to include a thousands separator in large numbers to make it easier to read: "1300 yuan" --> "1,300 yuan".
Theis version of the Samsung Galaxy was released in early of 2019, and the price was over 4,000 yuan at the time.
"This" instead of "the" works better here. It is also not clear what you are referring to (version of what?) without some additional information. I have assumed you are referring to versions of the Samsung Galaxy phone model and corrected the sentence accordingly.
I would add "at the time" to make it clear that the phone cost 4,000 yuan in 2019 (and the price has since come down).
No comma needed between these two sentences when connected with "and".
The clarity and sharpness of the phone's camera, as well as the speed of the phone, are acceptable to me.
"Phone's camera" requires an article, i.e. "the".
In this sentence, you either need an extra comma or no commas at all. So you can either write:
1) "The clarity and sharpness of phone's camera as well as the speed of the phone are acceptable to me." OR
2) "The clarity and sharpness of phone's camera, as well as the speed of the phone, are acceptable to me."
Both are grammatically correct and I wouldn't say there is much difference in meaning.
Second, I like rooting my phone.
This is grammatically correct, although depending on who you're writing for, you might want to explain what "rooting" is as this is a technical term!
I have another two cheap Google phones, a Pixel 2 and a Pixel 3, which are really very, very old,. They cost me 500 and 800 yuan, respectively.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 need articles, i.e. "a Pixel 2" and "a Pixel 3".
This sentence also runs on longer than necessary. You are adding in additional information (the cost of the phones), but this can't be added simply by adding new phrases after a comma. It would be simpler and clearer to start a new sentence before talking about the how much you paid for these two phones.
I bought them two years ago.
I use Twitter, the international version of TiktTok, and Telegram application on these rooted phones.
Minor spelling point, but TikTok has two capital letters.
The word "application" is not necessary after "Telegram".
I would also add a comma after TikTok to separate the second app in your list from the third. This is not strictly necessary from a grammatical point of view, but it makes the phrase easier to read (especially given the second item in your list is longer than the first and third).
As the Google Pixel 8 phone was released late this year, I am considering buying a Google 76 or 67 phone.
"Google Pixel 8" needs an article, i.e. "the".
In this context, it would be more natural to list the Google 6 and 7 phones in ascending order.
[Something like: "There is a shop near me which sells these models."] I believe all these phones are second-hand, although the dealer has previously said they are new.
This phrase doesn't quite follow from the previous sentence and the phone dealer is suddenly introduced without further context. I think you need an additional sentence to explain why you are now mentioning the dealer and your belief that the phones they are selling are second-hand. E.g. you could add a sentence at the start of this section which highlights that there is a shop or phone dealer close to where you live.
In the final sentence, I would also change "said" to "has said" / "has previously said" to emphasise that this conversation has already happened, but it has not changed your current belief that the phones are second-hand.

Theis version was released in early of 2019, and the price was over 4000 yuan in that time.
I think it's better to precise that the price had been 4000 yuan when it was released
The clarity and sharpness of phone's camera, as well as the speed of the phone are acceptable to me.
