There should have been a new generation of Windows Phones in late 2014-or, at a pinch, early 2015-to support this de facto two year cycle. It fundamentally came at the wrong time to boot: too soon for owners of year-old Lumia 928s. On top of that exclusivity, the phone was poorly supported by Verizon with extremely slow firmware updates. But its American version, the Icon, was Verizon exclusive and therefore useless to most. The most direct successor to the Lumia 92x generation was the Lumia 930, released in February 2014. Problem is, there hasn't been a Windows Phone for them to upgrade to. Anyone who bought a member of that 92x generation is long overdue an upgrade. The Lumia 925, on T-Mobile, was released in June 2013, and the Lumia 928 for Verizon came in May 2013. Initially, the AT&T-exclusive Lumia 920 was the flagship Windows Phone 8 device, and its siblings for other networks came a little later. The first generation of Windows Phone 8 devices, however, was released three years ago in November 2012. That much wear and tear is enough to make most phones look a little tatty, and two years of technological progress normally yields upgrades that we can actually feel. Many mobile operators try to encourage people to get new phones each year (which strikes me as astonishingly wasteful), but for most of us two years between phones is about right. The wait for a flagship Windows Phone has been a long and rather unhappy one.
