can't think of any other phones in that budget with wireless charging.

wireless charging is a fair bit slower though than wired.

Had one and wouldn't recommend it. The glass back on the phone is extremely slippery,causing it to slide off the wireless chargers alot.
Also the camera hump got in the way and made it to difficult to align properly.

Apparently the same issue is present with the 9pureview.

If you don't mind using a cover on your phone, then buy the best phone you can get within your budget, a cover, and one of these wireless charging receivers:

Nillkin Type C Wireless Charging Receiver, Magic Tag USB C Qi Wireless Charger Receiver Chip[Long Version] for Google Pixel XL/Oneplus 6/LG V20/HTC 10 and other Big Size USB C Phones https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M11UT3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2QgWCbBM5ZETG

I use one on a work handset, and while the charging is a bit on the slow side, it's awesome not to have to use cables anymore. I've a charging stand at work, at home, and in the car, and for me, it's a game changer.
