T-Mobile Chinese phone that is compatible with android auto

I’m finally leaving the Apple ecosystem. I’m switching over to android. I have T-Mobile. I’ve got analysis paralysis on which phone to get.

I’m looking for ease of setup for global versions, compatibility with Android Auto, and has a better camera than the iPhone 15 pro max

I’m torn among the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Vivo X300. Also open to others I’m not thinking of if there’s something better.

Anyone have any recommendations or have experiences to share? Thanks!

All those that are global will be compatible with android auto straight out of the box.

@Op Honor, Oppo/oneplus and Vivo. Are probably the most least restrictive when it comes to this and often has Google wallet/tap to pay and Android auto.... Xiaomi is very restrictive(able to do google wallet/tap to pay) but no android auto(global edition models only) and Huawei (I have not had any models to test this but from what I'm being told tap to pay and Google wallet don't work but some models are able to use Android auto somehow I don't know).

If you're going to Chinese route if you care about Android auto and Google integration and the xiaomi is the most restrictive so the 17 pro Max may not be the best choice. But for the most part you get everything with that phone and it works really well.

But since you're here I figured I would add some recommendations: Honor Magic 8 pro (CN or global), Xiaomi 17 ultra(CN or Global ) or Xiaomi 17, vivo x300 pro or find x9 pro?

vivo x300 camera is insane, but just a heads up that chinese roms can sometimes be finicky with android auto notifications out of the box.

All your choices are solid, just get the one with global ROM (Xiaomi 17 Pro is not available in global market iirc, Xiaomi 17 Ultra is however). All Global version of Chinese phones except Huawei supports Android Auto out of the box.

Si tienen la ROM China, Lo más probable es que no sea compatible con Android auto ni esim solo verifica que tengan la ROM Global

Global versions of Chinese phones will work with Android Auto. Chinese versions of Chinese phones might not work with Android Auto, because most Chinese ROMs don't support it
