Our Take
The pricing of all three smartphones are similar. If the camera is very important to you, then we would recommend the Redmi Note 7 Pro to you. However, that is the only aspect for which we will suggest Xiaomi’s offering. Vivo Z1 Pro is far better in terms of battery and processor. It also has a better selfie camera than the other two devices. Also, handsets from both Realme and Vivo come with less bloatware than Xiaomi’s offerings. Our pick for the best value for money smartphone is the Vivo Z1 Pro, but then, if you have specific requirements, you may opt for the other two.
