I'm looking to upgrade from my xiaomi redmi note 3 mtk version. But i'm confused between these two, which one should i get ? For gaming and photography. They're within the same price(around 220$).

xiaomi redmi note 5 pro:

galaxy note 5:

I've searched for the antutu benchmark of samsung galaxy note 5, it's also pretty similar to redmi note 5 pro (score around 105000-112000)

They're also both 4GB RAM / 64GB storage devices. However, the galaxy note 5 only has single 16mp camera, while the redmi note 5 pro has dual lens 12mp camera + 5mp.
 
The Samsung has a better screen & a better camera, also nfc which the redmi doesnt.
Its also,in,essence more powerful but the increased screen resolution over the redmi means with 3d gaming etc they perform about the same.

I'd take the redmi personally.

1. Its brand new
2. The camera is still very very good
3. It has way way better battery life.

Samsung would have the better items but I personally don't know if they would update it with new patches as stuff.

I also believe dual cameras are the most useless thing ever with the primary shooter doing the work and occasionally secondary
