The Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update is only coming to 13 eligible handsets

Microsoft may be omitting even more Windows phones from its list of eligible devices that support Windows 10 Mobile with the Creators Update

Microsoft may be dropping even more Windows phone devices from its list of supported handsets with the Creators Update, as a new report from ZDNet today claims that only 13 handsets will be eligible for the Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update starting April 25th.

The list is pretty depressing, with only the Lumia 640/XL, 550, 650 and 950/XL being the only Microsoft-made devices eligible for the Creators Update. All other Lumia devices, including the Lumia 930 and 1520, have been omitted from the list, meaning it appears they won't be getting the update.

Microsoft issued the following statement to ZDNet when asked if the list is true:

Beginning this month, Microsoft will release the Creators Update for Windows 10 customers including those using Windows 10 Mobile. As has been the case with pervious Windows updates, a device may not be able to receive the Creators Update if the device hardware is incompatible, lacking current drivers, or otherwise outside of the Original Equipment Manufacturer's ('OEM') support period. These devices will continue to receive security and servicing fixes according to our OS support policy. The full list of supported devices will be posted on the Product Lifecycle page soon."
