Choosing between iPhone7+ and Mi note2, depends on my usage. If I am to choose for personal usage, I will go for iPhone.its more secure next to BBOS. I currently have Blackberry for my personal correspondence,limited to my immediate family.
If I was to choose a workhorse,Mi Note 2 will be obvious choice. Coz I travel lot and have to do lot of data sharing over phone. Android phone makes that easy to connect with other devices( except Apple).
Hope that answers your questions.

Coming to your question,I understand when you say 'Mi Note 2pro' you are referring to recently announced Mi Note 2. Xiaomi has confusing names for devices.
Assuming as above, I would personally prefer Mi Note 2
reasons are as below:
- it's more decent in terms of looks and has AMOLED screen.
- performance wise both have same SoC. so I am not worried.
- I believe camera and photography are more better with a dedicated camera.so I am not much worried about cameras. And Xiaomi gives decent pics that serves my purpose.
Regarding dual setup of cam, to be honest, I am myself trying to assess the concept.So I cannot comment right away on that.

Techgo Gadget Gal , 29 Oct 2016I appreciate your comment and it is true about someone is always finding fault and not fairly ... moreHonestly, ZTE Axon 7 does look great and I would have chosen it, but it is not easily available in my country and the fact that the keys don't light up puts me off. It will be difficult to use it in the dark. Other than that, it seems like a great phone and comes with earphones and expandable storage, which other smartphone manufacturers tend to dismiss

It's like inviting a new spirit in an old body. You never know how will it react /act.
Any device after 2 or 3 years is a dead horse. Technology changes quickly. Hence , refresh device every 2/3 years.

To sum up, I will recommend Moto Z play first, next will be Mi5s and last One+3.
There are other capable devices from past generation like Nexus siblings,Moto X pure,One+X,LG G4.But now they are a year old and will get only a year more of updates support.
I have totally eliminated following capable devices:
Apple iPhone ( too pricey), Blackberry ( nearly dead ) Lumia premium range ( Microsoft pulling the plug for surface generation), SONY Xperia (too pricey), Pixels( too pricey),HTC10 ( Too pricey)
I consider photography and multimedia usage as secondary functions on a phone. I would prefer a professional camera,ipods and gaming consoles for the premium experience of them.
A phone's primary function is calls,messages,emails,conferences,web browsing, being connected and productive while on move ( or away from your work desk), without any delay.
I tried best to my understanding to help you choose your device. Hopefully it works for you.
Let me know if anything else I can help you with.

Thank you for your appreciation.
I am no expert, but let me try to help you out,if possible,with tag of $400. I will recommend phones from current generation,so that you are assured of at least 2 more years of software support.
PART-01
I prefer Motorola first in Android realm.they have near stock Android and well managed RAM.always quick on updates.
Z play is a premium offer and G4+ is mid range offer. Z play uses AMOLED screen and better processor.its well suited for those who are above average users and want good looks. If looks are not a priority and if you know how to use mid range phone to fulfill your productivity, Moto G4+ is for you. But it lacks compass feature,if it is important to you.
One+3 is a good offer with SD 820 and 6gb ram.offers AMOLED screen.all those for an affordable price tag.but somehow ,I am never pleased by their software experience, specially after CM fiasco and not so good battery life. Other thing is their hidden policy of deliberate stock shortage and not so good ram management.currently they are in process of refresh stage of One+3.But overall it's better than Samsung.
Xiaomi has always been one of my preferred Chinese brand. they never create hype and yet deliver great performer.MIUI is modified android,but is light and devices have good ram management.Battery life is always decent.They take time to deliver updates,but I personally never felt urgency or need of frequent updates.Mi5,Mi5s siblings,note 3 are some of recommended devices.But I would pick Mi5s.
To be honest I have never had hands on experience with any ZTE device.So I will not be able to guide you on their devices.

aatif khan, 25 Oct 2016Friend, Go to any phone opinions section, there is no end to people who have tons of complain... moreI appreciate your comment and it is true about someone is always finding fault and not fairly rating items. I am trying to purchase a reasonably priced phone around $400 using prepaid so not to get locked in contracts. I like the One Plus3 Never Settle, and the Moto G 4th Generation Plus and Sony Xperia XA (and Ultra). This Xiamoi looks great and so does the ZTE Axon 7. Tired of Samsung bloatware, but do like the S7, just too pricey. Any suggestions? Looking for good screen resolution, higher processor and camera not a big factor. Something like Samsung's bright clear screens but want different brand. Thank you.
