Time to Replace my Redmi Note 3? Redmi Note 5 or MI A2 lite or Mi Max 3


Time to Replace my Redmi Note 3?    

update 2:   

well i think i can rule out Mi A2 lite (for its processor), I am still debating over
RMN5: reviews of Better Camera performance (but having the same camera module), but compared with Mi Max 3, lesser Batt & smaller screen 
or the Mi Max 3, need to purchase Usb C cables / adapters, new pouch,  which will be needed in the future.   

Minimum Requirements : 
Battery minimum 4000mAh
Memory 64GB

Wish List
Better Specs or Equivalent with the Redmi Note 3
Better Camera Performance in Low Light conditions vs the Redmi Note 3 
Pure Vanilla Android
Larger Screen 
Price Range -  Budget 

Am debating 
RedMi Note 5 Vs Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Vs Xiaom Mi Max 3 

Redmi Note 5 (China AI Version), has most of the above with a price point of RM939 currently 4/64GB version, only thing missing is that its operating on MiUi. 

Mi A2 Lite, has the Vanilla Android, 4K batt, but a slightly inferior chip set 625 vs 636, and a slightly smaller screen, the 4G/64GB version is suppose to be around RM1K imported , equip for Micro Usb

Mi Max 3 the internals of a Redmi Note 5, with a much bigger screen, USB C, and even a larger Battery @5500 Mah, Pricing is supposed to be below RM1199 for the 4/64. 

Decisions Decisions Decisions, The MI8, MI8SE, MI Mix 2s price point is too high.   
I will wait a bit more to get proper reviews as well as to see the official Malaysian Pricing.       


Question to My Self, 

1.  A Smaller "by a bit" screen, slightly lower specs, but with Vanilla Android?,  Screen will still bigger the the Note 3
2.  The Exciting Super Big Screen and Battery? but will need new pouch, and purchase at least 3 more USB C cable. 
3.  The Same old Same Old unadventurous but safe choice.

2.  Pricing, as no official price for the A2 Lite (Unofficial RM1068) & the Mi Max (unofficial at RM1199)
