Nokia has relaunched itself in the market by launching three smartphones at Mobile World Congress - Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. However, the beast of all has just been leaked on the internet and it might be called Nokia 9.

Nokia 9 seems to be the flagship device from the manufacturer and will feature high-end specifications. The new unannounced smartphone is tipped to feature Snapdragon 835 SoC with 6GB RAM.

Nokia OZO Audio technology will also allow 3D audio capture with 4 or more microphones (when available on the smartphone). This technology will bring more immersive VR experience. The 3D audio capture technology will be possible by installing three microphones on the smartphone.

As per the leaked reports, Nokia 9 will have similar specifications to that of Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6 and Huawei P10. The Smartphone will reportedly feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip with 6GB RAM. The handset will come with a 3,800mAh battery and support for Quick Charge 4 technology from Qualcomm, Forbes reported.
