Last year, Bill Gates revealed to Reddit users that he was using the Galaxy Z Fold 3 at the time. In 2023, the businessman revisited this forum and announced that in the next round of Ask Me Anything he has already bought another smartphone – and it is also not complicated, but still the Surface Duo 2 from Microsoft and the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 from Samsung. It was personally presented by Lee Jay-Yong, chairman of the board of the South Korean company.

Of course I use Outlook and many Microsoft programs on it. Because of the screen size, I don’t use tablets, I just use phones and laptops – a Windows machine.

At the same time, a Reddit user asked Gates if he knew of plans for further development of the Surface Duo series. The answer was as follows:

Microsoft is involving me in some research and development of product plans. I really enjoy working with Satya and her teams. I’m not aware of the hardware roadmap. My desktop computer is a Windows Surface Studio, great. I also love the Surface Hub whiteboard, and we have plenty of whiteboards in the office.
