The end of Lumia. The beginning of something new.
We've all heard about the new Lumia 650 but what's more interesting is that it's the last Lumia of its series. The Lumia 650 is one of the best looking Lumias on the market for its time. Despite it having lower specs than its predecessors it's still a sleek, snappy and well designed phone. I absolutely love the screen, size and appeal the aluminum band brings to the phone itself. With Microsoft axing the eclectic Lumia series, I have to ask, what's next? With Microsoft focusing on more Windows 10 specific handsets this gives us the opportunity to create new ideas for phones. Microsoft invested money in the Lumia series with intentions of flooding the market in order to gain market share. With so many of those phones in the market, not only is it expensive but it also makes it a bit complicated for consumers. I'm not to fond of Apple but they have a successful formula we could replicate or improve. Instead of flooding the market with numerous phones why not create a select few with them ranging from low to high to end in regards to specs? Not only does it simplify how many phones there are and what options you have but it also gives the user a clear and distinctive choice between hardware. Microsoft should have a Surface phone as their top product, with a Lumia 950ish mid end phone and a Lumia 640ish low end phone. Those are examples but are accurate enough to show you what I'm talking about. How do you feel about Microsoft ending the Lumia series and what do you think they'll do next?
