For now Microsoft will continue to offer security support to its mobile operating system but no new features will be added, as this commercial line is no longer of interest to the company, so it has decided to end its adventure in the smarpthones market., at least as they did until now.

Of course we'll continue to support the platform.. bug fixes, security updates, etc. But building new features / hw aren't the focus. ?

From now on Microsoft will focus its efforts on trying to convince Android users to use their own services instead of Google's, nor do we know if they intend to launch new hardware on the market under Google's operating system.

Lack of developer interest has been the problem

Windows 10 Mobile has never been a bad operating system, since its operation has had nothing to envy Android, even being able to run more smoothly under the same hardware configuration.

The main problem has been a very low market share that has not aroused the interest of application developers, a whiting that bites its tail and has caused the Windows 10 Mobile application store to have very important deficiencies for users..
