More about Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 that Bill Gates uses

What Gates might be referring to is the massive screen size that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 offers. Open unfolding the device, it provides a 7.6-inch display, which is no smaller than a mini-tablet. Additionally, users can connect the device with a compatible display to use in Samsung Dex mode, which provides a desktop-like user experience. That might be a reason why Gates referred to the device as a great portable PC. 

Talking more about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the device has a pretty capable processor. In fact, it has one of the most powerful processors on an Android device called Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G. With the chipset, users can not only throw multiple tasks at the Galaxy Z Fold 3 but enjoy demanding games on the best graphic settings as well. 

Bill Gates has mentioned previously that he uses an Android smartphone but he never revealed the exact device. This was the first time when he openly stated which smartphone he uses. Over the last few years, foldable smartphones have emerged as a viable alternative to mainstream, single-hand smartphones. While Samsung is dominating the market with its Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, other companies like Xiaomi are also trying to catch up.
