Windows Phone is long dead, yet somehow you've ended up here. If you're in the market for a new Windows Phone these days, we've got some bad news for you. There are no more Windows Phones being manufactured, by Microsoft or other smartphone makers. We would not recommend buying a Windows Phone in the current year, outside of nostalgia reasons.
So, instead of listing a collection of no longer available phones running Windows, we've decided to roundup the best Android smartphones you can buy right now that will work best with your Windows PC.
Of course, we think the best phone you can buy to enhance your Microsoft and Windows ecosystem right now is the Surface Duo 2, Microsoft's current flagship phone featuring two 5.8-inch screens joined together by a unique 360-degree hinge mechanism. It's an absolutely gorgeous product, which can be had for less than $1000 these days.
It features the Snapdragon 888 SoC, 8GB RAM, up to 512GB storage, and can be had in either white or black color variants. It features a triple camera setup on the back, with a wide, ultrawide, and telephoto lens, all of which coming in at 12MP.

Do not buy a Windows Phone today. It simply is not worth it. The platform is dead, and none of the phones that run Windows Phone today are "new." Get an Android, preferably one of Microsoft's latest Android phones, or something from Samsung. If you must get a Windows Phone, perhaps try out the Grid Studio "Lumia 520" breakout frame.
