++ 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 +

++ in the Asphalt 8 7th Anniversary update we can see how cross platform multiplayer works, also there is a 2020 lightweight browser the CHROMATIC browser that works on Windows 10 mobile (but I do not know how safe are these : any ideas?) ++ DISQUS still works & still you can post pictures on Instagram for free using the browser //
++ the MS Surface Duo will be a 1399 USD device (so approximately the price of 2 Lumia flagships) & will be powered by Android (there is a initial commitment for 3 years of updates by Microsoft & the company can respond directly to security threats) ++ on the mobile front the top USA smartphone maker has a 30% tax on its App store (& we see economic theory working nicely, because if there were more app stores promoted by strong companies, that would be better for developers (less taxes) & costumers alike (more choice & less costs) ++ without a supported mobile presence the Windows app store is weakened & closing this one in the future will be the biggest mistake & will harm Windows future (but as they put on leave a legendary brand like Internet Explorer, they can also downgrade Windows, but surely there will be effects from these strange decisions) //
++ you believe the "miracle" only when you see the phone (you can see yourself that there is demand, because your pinned article gains more support than that easy article about the non-support nonsense // they are supporting at least until the Microsoft Duo experience goes live (Microsoft Office & other Microsoft apps are supported & you can play all day long & there is enough social media & skype to make these devices useful) ++ do you remember that in 2019 Microsoft issued an emergency patch even for Windows XP, more than 10 years after support had ended ++ would be nice if they give the users a mobile new Microsoft Edge ) //
++ some (WSJ https://www.youtube.com/user/WSJDigitalNetwork/videos) argue based on this chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_SE_(2nd_generation)#Timeline_of_iPhone_models that the 1st generation iphone SE was discontinued in 2018 (& with unchanged market conditions the discontinuation probably would have lasted longer) //
++ Iphone SE's 2020 relaunch teaches us that a discontinued line of product is still on a company's radar if the required mix of conditions are in place ++ so yes, never give up until you have the slightest of chances (until Microsoft owns the Lumia brand) //
