The end of the Lumia brand may already have the date set and would arrive before the end of the year
Today it seems that it is time for it to be the leading _hardware_. Launches that are postponed, imminent launches and in both cases a common link. In one way or another, in both cases, these processes are intended to substitute or replace a mythical brand such as Lumia
Lumia came from Nokia. Excellent phones that later went on to bear the Microsoft seal after the long process that we all know. We have seen interesting new arrivals and even some flirting with Android... but for some time now the brand is in the doldrums
Without new phone launches (nor are they expected for the remainder of the year) everything pointed to the fact that we could be witnessing the end of an eraWe can see this with the anecdotal catalog with which Redmond wants to defend Windows 10 Mobile, since currently only four models survive, such as the Lumia 550, Lumia 650, Lumia 950 and its variant, the Lumia 950 XL.
Right now it is these four models and the launches of third-party brands that have the ballot (not difficult, heroic) to rescue Windows 10 Mobile. And These four Lumia may be the last of their kind.
The end of an era
Yes, a few days ago we already told how the prices of the Lumia 650, Lumia 950 and its variant, the Lumia 950 XL had dropped significantly, well in order to improve sales or lighten the _stock_, now comes a new information thanks to an anonymous employee of the company.
According to him, Microsoft has set an expiration date for the Lumia brand and it doesn't have much life left. Apparently and always according to this employee, in December 2016 the manufacture of Lumia devices will cease A fact that is based on the loss of prominence that they have suffered in the different web stores where they are for sale, including Microsoft's own.
This information would make sense if, as we expected, the Surface Phone that would arrive with Redstone 3 was close to coming out, but as we saw a while ago For a while, different sources suggest that you would not arrive until autumn 2017, which would take us to spend more than a year without new phones with Windows 10 Mobile, something that could be catastrophic for the Windows mobile ecosystem.
For now it is information that has no official support or confirmation of any kind and we can only wait until the end of the year to see if in the end this leak comes true or if, on the contrary, the Lumia brand is reborn from its ashes.
