The Gionee G13 Pro is advertised as saying that it Access to the “new HMS ecosystem”.. There is also a on the product page of the smartphone Find reference to HarmonyOS. However, according to Gizchina, there were probably some spelling mistakes within the product description, which at least cast doubt on the authenticity of the claims. It is also speculated that the Gionee smartphone only supports Huawei accounts. A “real” support of HarmonyOS would look different.

But these are only speculations. Officially, the Gionee G13 Pro is actually the first smartphone with HarmonyOS that does not come from the Huawei factory floor.

Outwardly a bold copy of the iPhone 13

But the smartphone doesn’t have much more interesting things to offer – apart from that from the outside, which is a brazen copy of the current iPhone 13. After all, the Gionee G13 Pro is not too expensive at the equivalent of 75 euros. For the money, buyers get equipment that ranks at the lower end of the entry-level class.
