There is no competition. Honor 9 lite is the best among the three. The most beautiful and prettiest. I have a soft spot for Honor 9 Lite.
 
And what about Redmi note 5 or redmi note 4 64gb version
RN4 is no longer a good option. Get RN5. Do note that RN5/5 Pro & Honor 7X are noticeably bigger & heavier than Honor 9 lite & Zenfone 3.

RN5 Pro at 14k seems to be the best phone under 15k, get it if you can. RN5 64GB is priced too close to RN5 Pro. Honor 9 lite is a much better choice if front camera matters a lot or you would like a bit compact device.
