In this week’s Reddit AMA, Microsoft founder Bill Gates revealed that he is using an Android phone, but not Microsoft Surface Duo. The smartphone he uses every day is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.
It’s no surprise that Bill Gates uses an Android device, as he said several times back in 2017 that he uses an Android device. When talking about the reasons for using the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Bill Gates said that he tried “different” options, but the Galaxy Z Fold 3 means he can only use the phone and a portable computer, nothing else.
In the past, Bill Gates has been happy to talk about how he uses an Android phone instead of Apple’s iPhone, but this is the first time he’s detailed a specific model he prefers to use.
In an interview with Clubhouse in 2021, Bill Gates also mentioned that some Android manufacturers have Microsoft apps pre-installed, and that Android is more flexible than iOS, and that he wants to “track everything.”
