As we all know, the Windows Phone has been discontinued for a year now. And Microsoft co-founder, a.k.a the richest man in the world – Bill Gates has admitted switching to an Android phone in a recent interview. 

A world idol chooses an Android phone and the reasons for it

In an interview, Gates claims that he’s using an Android phone now. Although Mr. Gates doesn’t say the exact name of the smartphone model he uses, he does reveal that it has “a lot of Microsoft software.” This sentence has led the audience to suggest the phone Gates uses a special Microsoft Edition Galaxy S8 mobile from Samsung. It’s crazy, and funny at the same time, to think that a business leader bought a product from one of his company’s biggest competitors. How did he feel when he paid the money? We are curious!

As a matter of fact, people started to see Microsoft selling the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone in its chain of retail stores earlier this year. Moreover, this Galaxy S8 handset does include many Microsoft apps, such as Office, OneDrive, Cortana, and Outlook. Of course, any Android phone can have these apps, but this customized Galaxy S8 device is an initial move to prove that Gates’ company might continue to provide Microsoft software for other Android devices.

Does anyone of you here wondering why Gates didn’t choose an iPhone over an Android one? The reason is Bill Gates’s not interested in Apple’s products, which is a quite well-known thing to the world. In the mentioned interview, Gates prohibits iPhones and iPods at home, but he sincerely prefers Steve Jobs as a “genius.” Isn’t that what we call “Respect between the smart”?
