Bill Gates revealed that he has this preference, because the device comes with pre-installed applications from Microsoft, which makes your life easier. Gates also explained that for him Android is more flexible about the way these apps connect with the operating system.
Gates currently uses the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, which he won directly from Samsung President JY Lee. Before the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Bill Gates used the Galaxy Z Fold 3.
Gates also reported that the folding screen size of his Galaxy Z Fold 4 is very good, which makes him dispense with the need to use a tablet, since you can count on your smartphone with Android and a Windows "portable PC" without name.
Bill Gates Opinions on Android
Bill Gates even said: “I have a Samsung Fold 4 that JY Lee, the president of Samsung, gave me when I saw him in South Korea to upgrade my Fold 3. Of course I use Outlook and a lot of Microsoft software on it. The size of the screen means I don't use a tablet, just my phone and my portable PC — a Windows machine."
The former Microsoft executive said that his preference comes down to the flexibility of the Android system, with regarding inclusion of Microsoft software and company apps pre-installed on smartphones Android.
He quoted: “Some Android manufacturers pre-install Microsoft software in a way that makes it easy for me”.
However, the businessman also came to talk about the iPhone. Gates said: "I want to be on top of everything, so I tend to play with iPhones, but the device I carry with me is an Android."
The reasons for Bill Gates' preference may seem strange, given the availability of Microsoft applications on the iPhone App Store. But Gates said that even if he does carry an iPhone, it's not the device he usually uses on a daily basis.
