I'd also add that I would recommend paying more for a Global version if you want everything Google related to work out of the box without any tinkering. All the Google AI Gemini stuff works on my N5 global version if you are into that.

I wouldn't get the OnePlus 15 - it seems like a watered down version of the OnePlus 13, with a nicer chip, bigger battery (but you don't need it).

I'm not into this AI stuff so i won't care. I didn't realize android auto didn't work.
I was TEMPTED to buy from aliexpress anbd some are used which i also am ok with. I just iddn't know if there woudl be tariffs and duties.

If you buy a OP13, make sure you buy a glass protector for the camera lens too. I have a metal wallet.. and I thought the glass/plastic on it would've been stronger like other flagships - but it's not.

Android Auto does work on CN versions of Vivo and Oppo phones. I would recommend global versions of Chinese brand phones for most people.

I have not yet paid tariffs or duties for phones I've bought overseas which is about 7 phones now. Websites that sell Chinese brand phones can/will declare the packages as a "Gift" if you ask them to. I've had good experiences with the following websites and I highly recommend them:

Trinity Electronics (HK)
Mi4Canada (Ontario)<---local pickup available to you
