There's LineageOS for the Note 5: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3774630

Get that, or take the Xiaomi A2 (Android One, so Stock android), or the lower (maybe 70-100 bucks cheaper) Xiaomi A1, also a nice entry/Midrange device with already 4gb Ram.

 

With AndroidOne you have pretty much Updates guaranteed for 2 years. Or 3 years  Security updates. They are quite cheap/affordable, but are packed with alot of specs.

Things like NFC won't be there tho, but somewhere there have to be cuts with that Price.

Otherwise, Note 5 is still great with LineageOS. But take the 64gb storage version, as it comes with 4gb Ram instead 3.
