Will Microsoft continue to create their own smart phones?

I just bought a Lumia 640 XL. I heard that windows phone was dead... WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? The name.. or the whole thing?

Thanks Everyone

It means nothing, just a bunch of doom and gloomers and media clickbaiting

what everyone is doom and glooming about is Microsoft cutting back on the amount of phones they are releasing, instead of a 100 budget phones, they are only releasing 2 low end, 2 flagships, and 2 business oriented phones, and they mentioned they will continue making their own phones for atleast 2 years

The bold line is what everyone is doom and glooming about, but the intent for that line is that other OEM's will pick up windows phone and Microsoft wont need to make the hardware anymore.

TL;DR: windows mobile isn't dead.
