++ the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones is discontinued, but many of them are still in action and competitive. In my opinion, the timing for their launch alongside the first versions of Windows 10 mobile has been a problem (later versions of Windows 10 mobile are more competitive). I compare the path of Microsoft Lumia phones with the path of Mercedes F1 Team. If you have perseverance, you can win, but you need to have realistic intermediary goals. You must not be number one from the start, but rather be on the field, with competitive, distinctive devices (1% market share can be achieved with the core fans of Microsoft Windows). 1% is not a small number of users & translates to even more when we focus on Windows users. So my question is for Microsoft & fans // is it possible to continue the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumias for the fans of the brand & Windows ? // ++  #theWindowsthatneversleeps +

    Yes, indeed - and another thing:

    This all started as a discussion of the future of Lumia cell phones and, I suppose, the reasonable relationship to WIN10 mobile. We all have to admit that WIN10 mobile is essentially dead based on everything MS has said.

    The UWP question has its own issues lurking in the background related to the future of the OS itself. Although the rumored "Andromeda" path has gone dormant, something along those lines is bound to be out there in the bowels of Redmond and whether or not the current UWP fits into its requirements will be a major factor in UWP longevity in the future.

    As of late 2017, the portable device linked to Andromeda had a minimum estimated USD $1,000 price tag which, as Apple has discovered with its recent releases, is just a bit too steep for the average person they hoped to interest in a purchase. For myself, I can get both last year's (as it were) iPad and iPhone that will sync wonderfully and offer broad flexibility for well under that.

    I'm keeping my Lumia 735 for now, but I'm just sayin' . . .

    You have to look it different: you won't select UWP if it isn't applicable for phones. So it is crucial to have phones, tablets, always connected device, on the UWP selection, even Linux and Ndroid not just Windows PC!

    UWP is applicable for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Xbox One, IoT, Surface Hub, Mixed Reality and HoloLens. Losing W10M is hardly going to be a dealbreaker for any developer given the shrinking user base.

    • UWP can certainly be more developed, but how will this look like without the mobile devices section ++ surely it will be much poorer & the work of many developers will be lost

    Mobile devices were never the focus of UWP development, it was a beneficial side effect that UWP apps developed for touch screen PCs and tablets could be adapted with minimal effort for mobile devices, so the loss of that section has not had any impact on the work of any developers. I don't believe any developer was stupid enough to develop just for mobile devices.
