@@RyanDeery Haven’t been able to test out the OnePlus 13 - they rarely officially launch here - so I’d have to pass on having an informed opinion on that one.
Pedant Mode: it doesn't support Qi charging up to 21W. It supports 10W Qi wireless charging and 21W wireless charging via the Pixel Stand 2 only, which as of right now Google have stopped selling entirely.
It's not quite that simple, though. Bear in mind that the US price is in US dollars, starting at $999, and never including sales tax (because that varies in different US states). Roughly speaking, US$999 right now is around $1530. Add in our 10% GST (the sales tax we pay here) and that's $1683 AUD, just $16 less than the entry level Pixel 9 Pro price here. This is of course excluding sales and specials, but it's a super common mistake (not saying you personally have made it, but it crops up a lot) to see a US price, see it's lower than the AUD price and say we're being badly ripped off.
People hate on pixel too much and make up false accusations on it when they don't know also bigger phones are not harder to handle people just can't use phones properly
I trade my pixel 6 pro for 9 pro,
Hopefully the payment will be good and I got good price
Would you go for Pixel 9 pro xl or the one plus 13 ? Your opinion ?

That’s 100% true and fair, mea culpa.
Here in Australia the pixel 9 pro cost $1850 they are half the price in the state's you would have to insane to buy the phone here?
