Have you ever wondered which phone Bill Gates uses? Well, the man has revealed the name of the phone he has. And no, it is not an iPhone. Gates uses a foldable phone but it is not a Microsoft Surface Duo either. I know it is only natural to expect a Microsoft founder to use a phone from the same company, but I guess Gates does not believe in the same ideology. The Microsoft founder owns a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.
As per 9to5Google, during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session this week, Gates answered that he uses a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. “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,” Bill gates said in the comment. One of the reasons why he could be using a Samsung phone is because the integration with Windows because of Samsung’s tight partnership with Microsoft. Gates had previously revealed that he uses an Android phone over Apple’s iPhone, but this is the first time he has specifically revealed the name of the device.
