I have not heard of heating issues. Camera is better than the one in Redmi 2 Prime that it replaced.

As it is actually being used by mother on day-to-day basis, I am unable to comment on fine points.

Others are recommending Xiaomi. You could try that. (I went with Lenomoto because of being fed up of MiUI.

slingshot does Mi offer dedicated sd slot in that price range in nougat,,i dont think
If you use only 1 SIM, a hybrid slot does not matter. Otherwise it is better to go for a discrete slot. Even if you use only one number now, having the ability to add another SIM later will futureproof it.

But internal storage is important too. Once you start using the phone, it simply starts filling up.

The point of a discrete SD card slot is not all about storage alone. It is about peace of mind, ease of data transfer between phones etc. And a day will come when 64 GB is not enough.
I have >40 GB free (out of 64 GB) on my OP3 currently. I either delete or transfer all unnecessary stuff onto HDDs. Unless someone is running dual boot on a phone and keeping long 4k videos, 64 GB is enough.

Currently I am using Moto E with 32GB SD card and my card is 85% full and I have to delete data off and on to keep it running. So keeping data differs from person to person. For someone like me, data of 64GB can also become less in a period of time.

Yes but then even 256GB may not be enough for you so then what would you do.Whether you have to move data from phone after 32GB or after 256GB,in the end it is still the same. @SaiyanGoku is correct about 64GB being enough in the sense that "it is enough for all essential stuff required to fully utilize a phone". You can download/record dozens of 4K videos & keep them in phone which will make even 256GB SD card insufficient but that is not essential for fully utilizing your phone.Compare that to 16GB ROM phones where almost 6GB is taken by OS & 2-3GB is taken by preinstalled apps leaving just 3GB free space which certainly is not enough for even installing a decent number of games & other apps.
