Nokia N-Series Trademark Spotted in China; HMD Global Said to Launch Nokia 3310 Successor.

  • The last N-series smartphone was launched back in 2011
  • HMD Global has been tipped to launch Nokia P1 smartphone at MWC 2017
  • The N-series produced some of Nokia's most successful smartphones
HMD Global's latest smartphone - Nokia 6 has been selling like hot cakes in China but a new piece of news indicates that the company might soon be trying to extract more out of the nostalgia associated with the Nokia brand. A trademark for Nokia's iconic N-series has reportedly been spotted at China's patent office, tipping its imminent arrival. Separately, the company has further been tipped to launch the successor to its popular Nokia 3310 phone, but no further details are available.
The trademark for "NSERIES" showed up in China's patent office and was filed by the Finnish company, as per a report by Vtechgraphy (via Nokiamob.net). If the trademark for N-series devices was not enough, the company has also been tipped to launch a successor to its Nokia 3310 phone.
To recall, the last N-series smartphone from Nokia was Nokia N9, which was launched back in 2011. However, Nokia did launch its last N-series product in the form of Nokia N1 tablet in 2015.
It will be interesting to see if the company does launch new devices in the N-series and whether they will be able to live up to the standards set by their predecessors. Notably, the N-series produced some of Nokia's most successful smartphones to date and might help the brand make a strong comeback to the smartphone business new devices are launched in the series.
HMD Global been tipped to launch its Android-based Nokia P1 smartphone at MWC 2017 later this month. The smartphone is expected to start from $800 (roughly Rs. 54,500) for the 128GB model and cost around $950 (roughly Rs. 64,700) for the 256GB variant as per the leaks.
