Both camera do a good job at taking photos and shooting videos. They both have f/2.0 aperture so the result in sufficient light is good but low light will suffer.
5.5” IPS LCD with Full HD screen resolution is fantastic to look at. The 4100 mAh battery can really hold up the phone for about 2 days with ease. Xiaomi really knows how to make a phone with good display and battery. They need to upgrade to OLED but else-wise its good.

Xiaomi is providing lots of choice which is good. Different processors, different base memory and budget option. Snapdragon 625 is ocra core processor clocked at 2 GHz and Mediatek version is deca core at 2.1 GHz. They both are impressively fast processors but Helio X20 chipset wins on paper.
Most people prefer the Qualcomm version due to their quality and Adreno GPU. If you want bigger storage size then MTK version is the only answer.
