In the UK you can no longer buy the Lumia 950 Xl...it's sold out and no restocking
They say that when the river sounds it is because water carries it and we cannot deny that after the news, with more or less basis, that appearing these days, a fact like the one we are telling now only serves to confirm the underlying reality underlying everything published.
We have seen how terminals with Windows Phone were withdrawn from Microsoft stores in the United States and how apparently there are no plans to renew the _stock_of the Lumia range when it sells out, shelving the iconic brand at the end of 2016.And now, we come across this.
The news takes us to the United Kingdom and has nothing to do with Brexit. The fact is that the owner of a Microsoft Lumia 950 XL (don't miss our analysis) has tried to make use of his phone's warranty and to have it exchanged for another when he has come across a surprise. There is no _stock_ of Lumia 950 XL in the United Kingdom but it is not going to be in the future either, because the manufacture of this model has also been stopped… ago one month.
Also keep in mind that is one of the exponents of Windows Phone with some notable specifications:

It means that no more Lumia 950 XL terminals will be manufactured so when the remaining _stock_ in physical stores runs out... what was given is over.Be careful, it does not mean that they do not have warranty support, but that a change cannot be made, only repairs.
But the misfortune is not focused solely and exclusively on the Lumia 950 XL, because apparently its younger brother, the Lumia 950 has been sold out in countries like Belgium and Holland and that sales were minimal, so presumably the _stockage_ is being withdrawn (we don't think people flock to buy them and empty the shelves).
Microsoft is in a hurry to remove the Lumia range from its catalog and the truth is, the reason is not very clear, at least if we we refer to the variants of Windows 10 Mobile phones in the market. Few and even fewer under the Microsoft seal.
It is to be expected that the Surface Phone will arrive but the latest news is not very flattering in this regard or it may be that Redmond has an ace hidden up its sleeve that we are unaware of (it is what many of us would like).And another question that may come to mind... _Where is the Insider Program for Windows 10 Mobile if there are no terminals to update?_
