Microsoft's entry into the smart phone industry has a lot of fate. It has been ups and downs since the PocketPC era. Its Windows Mobile system was once the representative of touch screen phones in the early days of smart phones. But with the rise of iPhone and Android, Microsoft fell behind again. Although the Windows Phone market launched after learning from the past has received good responses, it entered the market too late, In addition, when WP7 upgraded to WP8 and WP8 upgraded to WM10, Microsoft made two stupid moves to abandon old users, so it seems not surprising that Microsoft was abandoned by the market to some extent.

Microsoft has previously announced that it will abandon the Windows Mobile mobile phone platform and only do routine system maintenance. In the future, it will not launch new versions, nor will it launch new phones. That is to say, it is only a matter of time before WM phones completely leave the market. In fact, WM10 was basically suspended more than a year ago, and the update of Version 1703 Feature 2 was basically stopped after that.

However, the WM10 update in April 2018, Version 1803, was suddenly launched today, and will be fully launched from May 8. Microsoft wrote in an official support article that the April update will bring new features and improvements to Windows 10 mobile phones. After the release, it will automatically upgrade, or you can manually check for updates.

Although the withdrawal of WM/WP mobile phones from the market has become a foregone conclusion, the introduction of the system update by Microsoft will at least extend the service life of the existing WM10 models and make up for WM10 users to a certain extent, not to mention that many WM mobile phone fans still have not abandoned the Windows Mobile platform.
