pros of the nokia: better built quality. can be carried around without a protective case and nothing will happen to it.
cons of the nokia: software is not fast due to bad processor. it can get pretty annoying how slow it gets. camera is bad.
pros of the xiaomi: software wise, it's amazing, pretty fast, if you get the global version made in china you won't get any bugs (because I haven't had any bugs). great camera compared to the nokia.
cons of the xiaomi: kinda fragile. from one small fall I had, it has a scratch on the top side. but if you have a case and a screen protector, it's fine. i'd say it has the same fragility level as an iphone 6 or 6 plus.

I played a couple of games like modern combat, space marshal, oceanhorn, some survival games and some other few games that literally eats the battery due to high graphics (have to say no lags at all) for an hour totally, and also watched some videos, played around the phone, took some pics, recorded a video and battery lasted like 4 and 30 minutes from 86% to 15%. The total screen off time was just over 2 days. If I charged it up to 100% and used it down to 0% then I am sure I can even use it another hour or two. The accubattery shows the average battery last long time in screen on time as just over 8 hours.

I found a way to fix the yellowish color problem of the photos. Go to camera app -> in settings locate capture settings -> change the setting to manual -> come back to the camera app -> set everything to AUTO in the left hand side panel (especially ABW), then go to back to capture settings -> change the capture setting to automatic -> turn on boost light. Now the camera is perfect again :D no yellowish light at all. But this only fixes the selfie camera's color. If someone wants to fix the color of the back light, as I explained earlier, follow the same steps, and in the ABW area, select fluorescent, candescent, cloud. Either one is working except day light. The camera flasher emits bright white light as it's supposed to be. It's not an emulation or software correction, There is a white light in the phone as well, but for some reason yellowish color is used by default.

OK, that is correct, now. Previously when I inspected the color of the flash light using those various White Point -settings the flash light always had the very same yellow tint, I'm very sure about this. So, something unknown has changed in the app settings. Also I now get well color managed photos with the camera in full auto (the flash still emits the yellowish light), previously the photos with the same settings had the strong yellow cast.
"Even when White LED is active, you may notice no change in the image colours, as the Camera app is aware of the lighting and corrects the image colour."
Well, either the default camera app is not correctly aware of the ambient lighting, or it does not correct the photos properly (it does not correctly apply color-management). And the app also has either sporadic error(s) in reading the settings data or initial settings data misconfiguration(s).

But there wont be much change in the light intensity with that single LED. At times it may look brighter than both LEDs active.
Even when White LED is active, you may notice no change in the image colours, as the Camera app is aware of the lighting and corrects the image colour.
You can use a different Camera app if this is annoying, and raise this issue in Nokia Forums.

So the only problem is yellowish color being default.

In my Noka 6 (TA-1021, Android 7.12 with all patches up to December) the stock camera app only has three scene modes, they are "Photos", "Panorama" and "Beauty". The physical color of the light from the flash is exactly the same in the "Photos", and "Beauty" scene modes, and in "Panorama" mode the flash (obviously) does not operate at all. Could you please elaborate exactly under what camera settings only the white LED flash would be active?
The purpose of the flash is to provide additional illumination for the scene and in case only one of the two LEDs would be used in some of the scene modes, then the power of the flash would be is cut in half in those modes and that would not be a practical design choice at all because all the LED flashes are very weak. Therefore I believe that both of the LEDs are always used at full of their power when the flash flashes.
Another "peculiarity": Under incandescent light, with the flash suppressed, camera at full auto and in "Panorama" mode, the picture still has the strong yellowish cast BUT when I make only _one_ change, that is I switch the scene mode to "Photos" or to "Beauty" mode, then the picture is good, having proper relative colorimetry, without yellowish (or any other) cast. Seems to me that there are several issues with the default camera app.

1. Though there are white and yellow LEDs, in some of the scene modes the yellow LED is not used and so results in a whiter shot.
2. Even if both LEDs are used, the camera app has post processing to correct for the yellow tone. It seems to have a class that sometimes the colour correction don't work as expected.

A big Lie. Actual color indeed changes. As I said earlier in the post. keep a white sheet, and take a photo by adjusting the settings I told you. You can see the flasher emits WHITE BRIGHT color NOT yellowish color, it means there is a white flasher as well. It's not a software emulation.

The amber/yellow tint in pictures and videos is resolved with the Android 7.1.2 and/or the October 2017 updates on my phone.
You can check that both flash LED's work if you put ~10 sheets of white paper over the camera and turn on the flashlight.
One LED is bright white and the other orange if all is well mechanically.
