Best answer: No, Microsoft isn’t building new features for Windows phone, so there’s no reason to buy one in 2019. There are no new phones, and in the next year, Microsoft will abandon the platform altogether.

Can I still use my Windows Phone after 2019?

Yes. Your Windows 10 Mobile device should continue to work after December 10, 2019, but there will be no updates after that date (including security updates) and device backup functionality and other backend services will be phased out as described above.

Is Windows 10 Mobile still supported?

Windows 10 Mobile went out of support in December 2019, which means no new fixes or support. At the moment, though, photos you take still get automatically uploaded to OneDrive and that should work until the end of 2020.
