You made a bad *guess* about Note 7 as it's not available in India. Xiaomi said they'll try to keep Note 7 price not much higher than it's is China but it'll still be higher. In China, the 64GB, 6GB variant costs 1400 Yuan, which is about 14800 Indian rupees. The cheapest 3GB, 32GB variant of Note 7 costs 1000 Yuan which is about 10600 INR. But we'll have to wait for note 7 to officially release in India to be sure.
I wrote *underclocked* in stars to give you a reality check: Why is a *underclocked* processor providing better performance than Note 7? Is Note 7 faulty?
Realme 2 Pro/U1 are not best choices to consider. U1 has a competitive Chipset but it falls short in everything else; like in battery and it heats up a lot even in winter.

The... moreI don't know in your country but in india the starting price of :
Asus zenfone max pro m1 is 9999
Asus zenfone max pro m2 is 12990
Redmi note 7 would be 9999
And why you wrote undeclocked between stars we all know that it is really underclocked just like realme 2 pro
And I'm not biasid if they were at the same price I would buy m2 because of stock android and bigger battery

The "reality" you speak of is that Zenfone Max Pro M2 gives better performance in PUBG & much longer battery than Redmi Note 7 on the same graphic settings (HD graphics, High Frame Rate).
Secondly, your point about FHD is wrong because both Zenfone Max Pro M2 & Redmi Note 7 have FHD screens and both were played on same graphic settings.
Thirdly, if we consider what you say is true, then something must be really wrong with Redmi Note 7 that even a *underclocked* processor beats it in performance. I don't know... Could be the MIUI on Note 7? Or could it be that Kernel Configurations & Stock Android are much better on Max Pro M2? :)
If you value your money, I suggest to learn more about what's up with Stock Android and how Xiaomi is playing with its customers with MIUI.
Zenfone Max Pro M2 & Redmi Note 7 have same price for their 6GB, 64GB variants where I live. But it can vary slightly from country to country.
If Note 7 is significantly cheaper where you live and you don't mind compromising battery, then go for Note 7. The performance is lower but it's not bad. There hasn't been a proper camera review for Note 7 yet so can't comment on that.
As for Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1:
$146 3GB, 32GB
$187 6GB, 64GB

But in reality redmi has better processor (play pubg at hd on redmi or fhd on asus and you'll see ) because asus uses an underclocked processor and don't forget that note 7's price is same as asus zenfone max pro m1 and max m2(the one with sd632)

Check in youtube for M20 and Max Pro (m2) speed test, they have demonstrated m20 outperforming max pro m2, though not by much, but still beats it, despite many including me assuming samsung processor and their blot UI will not be good, Samsung proved us wrong

I carefully checked 100+ phones and I found that Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 & M2 are best phones in their price range. Their only rival is Redmi Note 7 but it falls short in certain aspects, like battery & performance.
Performance:
M2's performance is perfect. PUBG runs perfectly smooth in HD Graphics, High Frame Rate - even while driving a car.
Note 7 & M1 lag noticeably (still not much) during driving.
However, note that *M1* *3GB variant* lags in PUBG if you use a screen recorder app while playing PUBG. Haven't checked whether Note 7 & M2 can handle that kind of load yet.
Battery with continuous:
- PUBG on HD graphics, High Frame Rate lasts 7-8 hours (Note 7 lasts 4.5 - 5 hours & M1 lasts about 7 hours).
- Asphalt 9 lasts 8-9 hours.
- Offline video playing lasts about 17 hours.
- Instagram video playing lasts 16+ hours.
- YouTube 14+ hours.
- Camera battery lasts 7.5+ hours.
OS: Oreo
M1 & M2 are said to get Pie OS this February while Note 7 already runs on Pie. However, Note 7 has MIUI which puts extra load on the device, shows Ads - lowering the device's performance, battery timing and may take up extra storage. This might be the reason why its performance is equal to M1 in PUBG even though it has SD 660.
Whereas M1 & M2 run on Stock Android which is a big advantage - no extra load on the phone, better battery, performance and stability. So even while running on Oreo, M1 & M2 are already better in terms of software performance than Note 7.
M1 is one of the few phones with SD 636 Chipset that can play PUBG smoothly at High Graphics, High Frame Rate and I believe it owes it to how Asus likes to configure its phones' Kernel and Stock Android.
Built Quality:
The built quality of both M1 & M2 is spectacular. They were dropped 6 times from 6 feet above at all angles except corners on a tiled floor. M1 was *perfectly fine* while M2 had a tiny scratch at the corner but that's all the harm it got. They aren't water proof but they were placed in water for 1 minute and still worked perfectly fine after drying.
It should last at least 3+ years, imo.
