Billionaires’ game: Bill Gates cruises Galaxy Z Fold 4 with Microsoft softwares
Sopuruchi Onwuka, with agency reports
After revealing that he used a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 instead of Apple phones last year, Microsoft founder, Bill Gates has updated that he has now upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.
The billionaire who fields questions on his Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) said however that his new phone was a gift from the Chairman of South Korea’s Samsung Company, JY Lee.
More interestingly, the two world class tech billionaires had met for a discussion on a very unrelated subject matter: toilet system.
The Oracle Today reports that Bill Gates has never attempted to put any competitor’s product down in promotion of the Microsoft’s Surface Duo 2, hinting at a culture of healthy competition among world’s richest men with sustainable product brands.
Bill Gates told a Reddit user that he now has a Galaxy Z Fold 4, which was given to him by JY Lee when they met in South Korea. He however explained that the while using the android phone, he uses plenty of Outlook and Microsoft software on it still.
Tech pundits point out that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 comes with a large 7.6-inch QXGA+ AMOLED main display and a 6.2-inch HD+ outer display. It also adds other powerful features like the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 under the hood with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, and users should be able to update to OneUI 5.0 already too.
Those that want to use it as a tablet replacement can also get a Samsung S Pen to use along with Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Bill Gates pointed at his specific preference for the Samsung’s screen size which, according to him, makes it unnecessary to bring a tablet along.
He however explained that the Samsung Galaxy does not displace his portable personal computer which uses Microsoft Windows.
“I have a Samsung Fold 4 which JY Lee the Chairman of Samsung gave me when I saw him in South Korea to update my Fold 3. Of course I use Outlook and a lot of Microsoft software on it. The screen size means I don’t use a tablet but just the phone and my portable PC – a Windows machine,” – Bill Gates.
The Oracle Today gathered that the two billionaires had met in August after Samsung had launched the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
In discussing proposals in joint venture on production of safer toilet products which Samsung and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation had worked to develop, a courtesy souvenir happened in favour of Bill Gates who indirectly has become a promotional vehicle for JY Lee in advancing the new product. Talk of win-win relationship, it’s always good business.
