During a Reddit AMA this week, Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates finally revealed which smartphone he uses. You’ll be surprised to know that it’s neither the iPhone nor the Microsoft Surface Duo but a Samsung phone. Gates uses the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, launched back in 2021.
Bill Gates conducted an AMA (Ask me anything) session on Reddit last week. During the AMA a user asked, “What kind of phone do you have?”, to which Gates replied “I have an Android Galaxy Z Fold 3. I try different ones. With this screen, I can get by with a great portable PC and the phone and nothing else.”
It should come as no surprise that Gates uses an Android phone because he has stated the same several times in the past. But again, why is he not using Microsoft surface Duo if an Android experience is what he wants? Probably because the Surface Duo lacks a foldable display and it cannot match Samsung’s Z Fold 3 in terms of the hinge and technology.
Samsung phones are the best alternative for those using Windows OS. Galaxy devices have features to link to Windows and allow PC users to use Android apps on their computers, check Gallery contents, and much more. Gates even acknowledged in the past that Android is more flexible compared to iOS and Android Phone makers pre-install Microsoft software (Which he likes).
To recall, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 comes with a massive screen size, upon unfolding, the device provides a 7.6-inch display. Users can also connect the smartphone to a compatible display to operate in Samsung Dex mode, which gives a desktop-like user experience. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G processor and a 4400mAh battery.
