Mi a1 is best option to choose as per camera in low range, rest all hardware specifications are similar to Mi note 4
Plus points: -
Stock Android, dual camera, will get proper Android update, etc
Pro : -
Battery backup, sometimes hangs, low light camera quality.
Now I ll just say about camera only here because all other features are same as mi note 4. At day light portrait mode is better than iPhone I completely agree with company view.
But in low light photography is worst.
No other option as per camera in this price range.
