Gionee is expected to come up with its brand new flagship smartphone and it is expected to be named as Gionee M2017 and everyone has been waiting for an official announcement. Though the company has now released the first official teaser image of the smartphone now. In the primary teaser, the Chinese actress-director couple Xu Fan and Feng Xiaogang can be seen.
