++ the future of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones ++

l used to ask the same thing about Zunes...😥

++ things are changing slowly, but my Windows 10 mobile ship is still above the waters with a battery change (because the old battery at 40% - 50% was missing in action) ++ in spring 2021 Windows phones still get updates for top Gameloft games as Dragon Mania Legends or War Planet Online, bur support for Asphalt 8 Airborne will end (in the case of Asphalt Street Storm the users who downloaded the game before the loss of support still have access to the game, although this officially does not exist in the store for PC or mobile) ++ the MS Office apps are still there & the next weeks will tell if there will be support for them (it's sure that the support went beyond January 2021 & that is positive) ++ the last Microsoft app that has received support recently has been Power BI (some months ago Office Lens was pulled from the store, but still is working) ++ generally speaking there is no great change on this Windows phone resistance endeavor ++ the phone is still beautiful & highly personalized & plenty of News apps are also working (e.g. Daily Mail for UK & world news; Microsoft News, RT for Russian news) ++ while there were no developments (except for the numerous updates, e.g. for Nitro Nation racing game), Windows phones are useful devices & can act as office tools, gaming devices for some games & are competitive for photos & media usage ++ for a broad smartphone experience it's understandable that many of the Windows phone users (or former users) will try Android (LG is retiring there, but Motorola has a fresh lineup for example) ++ congrats for those who have found a positive alternative & encouragements for the Windows phone users that can still turn on their devices & happy Resurrection Days as Ascension Day is near (it will be interesting to see if Asphalt 8 will be still playable after the discontinuation of support, [in some game modes, e.g. career] or it will be without any access as was the case with March of Empires or Disney Magic Kingdom & other games (but Modern Combat 5 is still playable in career & multiplayer mode as a partial success) ++ fact is that the MS Windows store was richer with its mobile arm just think at numerous news apps or at games like Sonic Dash ++

Windows 10 Launcher is marvelous in my TECNO 16 Premier... Backed by a very powerful Android system, I'm, now, only missing live Tiles..

I squirreled the Office apps prior to their removal. I should be OK. (Hehe)
