Global tech giant Nokia is reportedly trying to trigger a comeback for its popular N-series smartphones. The N series devices were once well-known for its amazing software and it ruled the market. While the phone came to be loved by one and all and initiated a revolution in design, it got lost somewhere with the advent of new manufacturers. Nokia is all set to revive the N series design. According to a leak in China, HMD which owns the Nokia brand now has been working on a mid-range smartphone and it will be named after the famous Nokia N95. Additionally, there is a probability that the latest smartphone will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, to be held later this month.
HMD Global reportedly made a filing for an N series trademark with SAIC (Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce). The leaks in China contain the documents regarding the filing of names like Nseries, N-Series and other variants of the terms. The first N series phones came to the market 12 years ago, under the names N70, N90 and N91. These devices became a huge hit, and so did their successors. They were then replaced by the Lumia series by Nokia. While the erstwhile devices contained OS like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo, it can be expected that the new lineup will run Android. Nokia N series will reportedly contain the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series and will go for mass production, the leaks suggest.

Interestingly, Nokia seems to be betting only on China to make a comeback, as the filing was made in China only and earlier it had launched its latest phone, the Nokia 6 in that country itself. Nokia appears to be going with a different strategy for different markets like ti had launched the Nokia 150 phones in Europe. So, it is only a matter of time that Nokia hits the smartphone market with a slew of devices.
