So far, Gates admits that he still uses an Android phone, namely the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, which he got from Samsung’s boss, Jay Young Lee, during a visit to South Korea (South Korea).
Gates explained this in an answer on the Reddit forum themed “Ask Me Anything”. Previously, Gates used the Galaxy Z Fold 3 which was also produced by Samsung.
“I have a Samsung Fold 4 that Samsung Director JY Lee gave me when I met him in South Korea to update my Fold 3. Of course I use Outlook and a lot of Microsoft software on it,” Gates said.
“The screen size of this phone means I don’t need to use a tablet but just a cellphone and a PC portable me,” he added.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a cellphone released by a technology giant from South Korea in August 2022. This cellphone is the fourth in a series of folding smartphones from Samsung.

Previously, Gates had expressed his visionary thoughts about technology in 2062. According to him, at this time cellphones that fit in the pocket are still popular devices in the public as a result of a combination of chips and software.
However, Gates admits that he is not too focused on cellphones. He admits he prefers large-screen PCs because he “loves sending long emails, reading long documents and research journals.”
“I’m not as mobile-centric as the younger generation, but the mix-up (phone and PC) works well. I can keep working at the foundation even when I’m on the move. Equipment keeps getting better, but there’s still a long way to go and a lot of potential,” he was quoted as saying PCMag.
