Huawei Mate 10 Lite or Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus

[Zapthos]

Hello
I will get a new phone soon, but I don't wanna do anything above $250. I checked everything, and these two are the best I found: Huawei Mate 10 Lite and Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. The problem is, I don't know which one is better. They both almost the same. I will get the international version if I buy one of them, so it's for both 64gb / 4gb

Huawei
better LTE
bigger sd-card capability
better secondary camera
3340 mAh battery
a little better performance (benchmark)
Xiaomi
Corning Gorilla Glass
2160p@30fps recording
Fast battery charging
4000 mAh battery

You should watch some youtube video review to compare view angles on both phones.
I personally dont think that Huawei is worth 2x price. In this case i would go with Xiaomi.

I had experiences using non-mainstream asian phones.

The lesson learned so far:
The main needed attention on non-mainstream phones is the LTE compatibility to the available LTE, where you live.
If the Xiaomi LTE covers the frequencies which you are using, you are good to go.
Check first before buying!

I think I have to buy the Huawei. The Xiaomi doesn't use the 4g speeds, in my country that's 2600mhz but it's not supported.
