If you search for a cheap phone and are familiar with unlocking the bootloader to install a custom rom (original chinese miui is horrible) its a nice phone (though you need to charge it each evening).
Mi5 is quite cheap for what you get and for gaming very nice i think. Also, its not too big.
If you don't care about the size of the Phone, leeco le max is powerful.
If you really search for a budget phone, take a look at the redmi series or buy an old one and update it with custom rom (If you don't play heavy games, you dont really need a new phone.) I Used my HOX untill this summer with cm 12 and next kernel, battery is very nice (around 1.5 days with whatsapp, sometimes browser and little gba emulation).

Hope i could help u choosing a phone

Lenovo Zuk Z2 has a awesome hardware for his price.
I would go for that, but the software isn't as nice i heared. But no problem flash a custom Rom.

Mi5 is nice too.

If you can still find the 2GB version for around $100 USD, then it's a good buy. Otherwise, Redmi Note 3 snapdragon version if you are okay with 5.5-inch phone.

P.S. ignore the other guy. MIUI is not horrible. It's just fine.

Lots of people around me used Mi5:silly:

it's a good phone for less price. Camera should be better then Zuk Z2 i think i heared, if it's worth for OP. But better read some tests and compares.
Each person is difference in his likes.

You're absolutely correct.. except about the part where MIUI isn't horrible.

The chinese version i had on my mi4s when i bought it WAS horrible xD laggs over laggs, slow as hell, bad battery (about one day with luck) and luckily i'm very good in chinese.. ^^

I just wanted to say if u are planning to stay with stock rom (and dont speak chinese) its defenitely not worth it.

However, the mi-globe rom (or any other debloated roms) are genious. Like IOS with the capabilities of android

nowadays i would be deciding between Zuk Z2 and something from LeEco, Mi4c ain't that good value for money anymore plus too much hassle with bootloader, go to Kimovil.com to compare phones and prices

currently from Xiaomi only Redmi note 3 pro (redmi note 4 was downgrade severally) but seriously **** Xiaomi with their bootloader locking

Yeah Xiaomi's support (unlocking bootloader, mi4s was announced with MM, still on LP) isn't too good.
But their hardware quality is nice.
And the DEV's nearly always develop an easier method (e.g. unlocking bl).
Overall i agree with u, mi4c isnt worth for money now
