Upgrading from Redmi Note 5, Which Phone? Part 2, The Short List.

Upgrading from Redmi Note 5, Which Phone ?  Part 2, The Short List 

After filtering and looking at all the specifications, see Part one. I manage to filter it down to 3 main contenders, one of them Branded which just Launched, The current King who has been around for a few months, and a Johnny come lately yet to be launched.

The current King Mid Ranger, Premium Feel, Good in Photography Redmi Note 7 (With USB C) + SD 660 4g/64gb Glass sandwich Estimate RM 750, Top in AnTuTu Score if you can get the Pro version, which I cannot, has a Hybird SD Slot     

The Branded Beautifully, Astonishing Frills Mid Range but highest price  Samsung A50 6g/128 = RM1100, with USB C, NFC, Dedicated SD Slot.    

The Johnny come lately, Fast charging, Best Gaming, Potential Best Photography Realme 3 Pro (USB) SD 710 with 2 version 4g/64gb or 6g/128 gb Price unknown, Possible the best Photography as it has the Sony Ixm519 sensor, and with a Dedicated SD Slot.   

Choosing the actual replacement will have to be more then features or specification, it will have to be have to be boiled down to “Price”, “How it all Fits together” and the “User Experience”  

For this I begin to troll the net, watching many U Tube Videos, and Reading many Tech / Phone Websites.   And after many hours their General Verdict are
