++ 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 +

    some developers are now hacking capable Android devices to run full Windows 10 ARM

    and failing...

    Some got it to work on the Lumia 950 XL

    Since when is the Lumia 950XL a capable Android device ?

    It's not, but it has lower specs than newer androids so it can be done. It took quite a while to get it working (somewhat) on the Lumia 950 XL. My point was it's been done on a phone before.

    ++ maybe Windows Phone users have encountered the last time the now legendary phrase "we're getting there ... and it will be worth the wait" (btw. the December 2019 monthly cumulative security update was one of the smallest recorded) ++ to make a paralel to Formula 1 here is also the familiar "getting there Lewis" quote which has accompanied the world champion since 2014 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLx2WZWilBc ++ Windows 10 mobile has been a great OS & in the heyday  of its store the great majority of third party apps were active also on this OS ++ I think Microsoft abandoned the OS, because they want to be winners & the distant third place reflected a loser image on the company ++ the product was great & so with a great marketing & distribution & adjusted outsourced production strategy it could have been made profitable  ++ the great loss here can be the disappointment of 10s of millions of Microsoft fans who liked Lumias on FB for example (but Microsoft is a big company & can ignore 40 million + users or try to meet their expectation otherwise) ++ my opinion is : a responsible company never destroys a great product //

    Very well said, Szilard.

    I am more saddened about the outcome for the idea and concept and people behind it with WM, because I think these were (are) stellar, rather than with 'consumers' or 'users' like myself.
