Yes, that Xiaomi Mi5 is the best bang for buck right now, that Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro with SD650 processor also is best bang for buck.

Sadly, Mi5 is not yet officially launch, and Redmi Note 3 is shortage in supply for very long period.

Xiaomi Mi5, Malaysia global version RM1549.
Sadly, this is the most basic version price, with 32GB internal storage and 3GB RAM.
Do remember this smartphone doesn't has Micro SD slot.

Hope that the pricing of Oneplus 3 not nearing RM2K, there is also ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe, Vivo Xplay5 Elite, ZTE Axon 7.

Then it's price should close to last year Oneplus Two price, maybe RM1899.
If ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe close to that price, then would pick Zenfone 3.

Cheapest now still is Xiaomi Mi5 32GB.
Maybe Xiaomi should release a 64GB version for our market.

Good, that's quite cheap.
But I'm now more interested in Xiaomi Mi Max with 6.44 inch screen.
I prefer bigger screen phone, mainly for gaming purpose.

Any game on Playstore.

From your budget, pick Vivo V3Max or Redmi Note 3 Pro.
Vivo V3Max will be almost perfect, as it equip SD652 proc, and also got fast charging, only let down maybe is it's poor battery life.

Redmi Note 3 on the other hand, has poor camera. A bit slower SD650 proc, well just a bit only.

Don't get OPPO F1s due to it's lower res 720p screen and poorer Mediatek proc.
Do believe me, 1080p screen is far more sharper.
Of course, top up a bit you do get Oneplus 2 and Xiaomi Mi5. Xiaomi Mi5 is the much better phone out there, but lack Micro SD slot, only 32GB on board. A bit not recommend Oneplus 2, due to it's overheating issue.

But at that price, the Moto G4 Plus is AP set, Vivo V3Max selling at the same price is better with SD652 SoC, and is original set. G4 Plus only with SD617 SoC, with much inferior Adreno 405 graphic chip.

Well, warranty matters too. Not saying import set is bad quality, but warranty at least give peace of mind.
Stock or non-stock experience actually depend on preference, no apps drawer also is a preference.

But, do aware that this Moto G4 Plus is with onscreen button key, meaning the display will become smaller when used, unlike those phone with capacitive key. Normally I just skip those phone with onscreen key, notably from LG, Huawei and Sony.

Then, this Moto G4 Plus also has no notification LED, something that shock me after reading some online review.

Processor I would say almost equal.
Then, Note 3 has 4G, Micro SD slot up to 64G, Fingerprint, IR, 4000mah big battery, which all Mi4 don't have.

Overall, Note 3 is the much better buy, much more future proof and expandable memory.

Oneplus 3 will be the best, around RM1888.
Around that 2K price, at some store, you can get S7 Edge. RM2.3k.

If really want biggest battery, Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro. Huawei Mate 8 now at discount price also worth considering.

Only Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro 5000 mah and Huawei Mate 8 4000mah suit your need.
But at this price, also can consider the much more powerful Xiaomi Mi5 and Oneplus 3, both at 3000mah battery, but long lasting too.
There are also Huawei Nexus 6P, Huawei P9, Oneplus 2, LG Nexus 5X.

Super low cost and around the same spec, can consider Vivo V3Max.

No need confuse, Samsung Galaxy A9 would be the best of all.
After that, maybe the newer Honor 8 and Mate 8 are the second choice.
P9 should be the last listed as it's battery life actually is not impressive.

Most cheapest can get Meizu M1 Note 16GB at RM399. Meizu M1 Note 32GB at RM499.
Then, AP set Pepsi P1s also around RM389.
Top up around RM500, you should able to get AP set Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.
Around RM599, you can get Alcatel Flash Plus 2 16GB, or AP set Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 16GB.
Al these are 5.5" phone, dual sim, Full HD screen and support 4G.

Still Redmi Note 3 Pro is the best to buy. It's Snapdragon 650 processor is quite high end.
Other brand may suggest the Alcatel Flash Plus 2, which is the only phone at this price comes with fast charging, but is Mediatek chipset, which is much inferior to SD650.
5.5" is more recommended than a 5" phone.
RAM minimum 2GB are already more than enough, phone performance almost same on 3GB or 4GB RAM, processor actually is much more important than RAM.

Actually below RM1K, not much can be recommend. May be the highest end would be Xiaomi Mi Max, second would be Redmi Note 3 Pro.
Other close but over RM1K would be Vivo V3Max and Oneplus 2.

It depend.
Plenty to choose from Android camp.

The so called Redmi Note 4 Pro is simply just called Redmi Pro, sold alongside Redmi Note 4.
Key different upgrade on Redmi Pro are dual rear camera, AMOLED screen and a higher spec Mediatek Helio X25.
It already been sold at Lazada.

Huawei Honor 8, ASUS Zenfone 3, Oneplus 3, all comes with 64GB storage, but Oneplus 3 don't has Micro SD slot, but is much more powerful than those 2.
