Huawei Honor 5X
Samsung Galaxy J5
Asus Zenfone Max

Leagoo Shark 1
Asus Zenfone Max
Samsung Galaxy J7

Or Lenovo Phab Plus if okay with 6.8".

Redmi Note 3 is good for the price, but remember to only buy the Malaysian version with Xiaomi Malaysia warranty, because Chinese version is loaded with bloatwares and might have app compatibility issues.

For Malaysian version,

1. Comes with Xiaomi Malaysia warranty
2. Comes with Google Play Store and Google services
3. No Chinese bloatware apps
4. There are many languages supported instead of only Chinese and English (for that you'll have to check in the settings)
5. Box is printed in English

Indeed our version has Snapdragon 650, but Chinese version has either Helio X10 or Snapdragon 650 as well, so it's advised to check it properly before buying.

If you can spend more, get the S7. Otherwise, get the Mi 5.

S7 beats the Mi 5 in terms of camera, software optimization, waterproof, speakers, storage expansion etc.

Not to say that the Mi 5 is a bad flagship, but when you compare it to the S7, the S7 just beats it in those aspects. Nonetheless, Mi 5 wins in terms of pricing.

You should consider the Meizu M1 Note, it suits your needs.
RM 499 for 16GB / RM 599 for 32GB

The Lenovo K3 Note is good for the price as well, but it's AP set, you will find some bloatwares in the software. For Lazada, it's a mixed bag, there's always a risk when buying from Lazada. It depends on the seller.

As Andrew_1980 said, some bloatwares are uninstallable but you would need root access.

If you don't know how to root, you can just disable the bloatwares in the settings to stop it from running, but it's still kept in the software.

Alcatel Flash Plus 2 would be the best choice in that price segment.

Or you could go for the smaller Flash 2 if your budget is tight.

Alcatel Flash Plus 2, 3GB RAM is coming soon for RM 729.

If you can spend more, get the OnePlus X.

Samsung Galaxy S6, it's camera is still up to par with flagships nowadays. But do note that it has unexpandable 32GB storage though.

Or just go for the Huawei P9, it's good enough.

Not stock, but very close.

You can't find any phones that are close to stock as those two in that price segment.

Or you can go for the Nexus 5X if you could spend more.

OnePlus X all the way!

Well, not fully stock, but it's close to stock.

Let's just say vanilla Android.

Lag free on a low end phone is just impossible lol, there's only minimal amount of lag.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 would be a worthy choice

Or Leagoo Alfa 2

Or ZTE Blade A452 for it's huge battery

Just look no further than the Huawei P9, the camera is good for the price.

Or you could try out the cheaper Oppo F1 Plus, it has a decent rear camera and a beastly 16MP front camera for selfies.

Oh, the first one (the one with Wifi AC) is Meizu MX4, not Meizu M1 Note.

Sorry for the mistake!
