Bill Gates is one of the pioneers in the creation of high technology. The tycoon is co-founder of Microsoft, one of the world’s leading software companies. According to the magazine Forbes, Gates’ net worth reaches 103.6 billion dollars.
With so much money available, one would think that the creator of Microsoft uses the most modern and technological devices on the market. However, Bill Gates said that his favorite device is the Galaxy Z Fold 4, a foldable phone from Samsung. He got it from Lee Jae-Yong, president of the South Korean tech brand.
The executive told Reddit users that he received the Galaxy Z Fold 4 when he paid a visit to Samsung’s headquarters in South Korea to “seek help to update his Galaxy Z Fold 3”.
According to Bill Gates, the device works properly for your everyday needs, especially when it comes to work. The executive routinely uses Microsoft 365 software and Outlook e-mail.
According to Gates, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 makes it easy to use a variety of apps that he needs to access throughout the day. In addition, the foldable device brings the possibility of having a cell phone similar to a tablet for your work.
Good relationship between companies
Despite being major competitors in the technological market, Samsung and Microsoft have a good relationship, including in business, with strategic partnerships.
South Korean devices usually already have Microsoft programs installed on their devices, without the need for users to install the packages.
This exchange of “favors” also happens on the part of the North American, which provides free access to Samsung customers and services such as Xbox Game Pass subscription.
In addition, jobs that used to be done in traditional offices, tied to desktop computers, are now increasingly modern and can be done from anywhere. With this worldwide change, the executives saw a business opportunity and closed a partnership em 2017.
“Microsoft and Samsung are working together to deliver innovative mobile experiences that help organizations with digital transformation. The Samsung Galaxy Book is a great example of that focus in action.”said Peter Han, former vice president of Devices and Partner Solutions at Microsoft at the time.
“Samsung’s new Galaxy Book highlights Windows 10’s digital capabilities, such as Windows Ink, which give employees the ability to achieve more by working smarter, more portablely and more securely”concluded the vice president at the time.
