Find out which smartphones billionaires prefer. They are well-known brands.
In the ever-evolving world of technology, choosing a mobile phone goes beyond functionality to become a status and lifestyle symbol. Billionaires with enviable wealth are no exception to this trend.
The mobile device you choose reflects not only your daily needs, but also your interest in exclusive brands and cutting-edge technological innovations. Cell phones have long been considered luxury items, depending on the model. Some even cost more than R$10,000. Of course, these devices have specifications that match their price, but people don't just look for the features. The construction and design count for a lot.
Cell phones for the rich
As it is an object of desire and a symbol of luxury and status, it is no surprise that each billionaire has his own taste when it comes to cell phones.
In fact, an individual linked to a specific smartphone company does not always use a model from that company, which can surprise the public. In other words, a Samsung executive may use an Apple phone, and vice versa.
And speaking of the two brands, they are the favorites among billionaires around the world.
Apple vs Samsung
From Silicon Valley to Asia, two tech giants, Apple and Samsung, are emerging as the main contenders in the battle for billionaires’ pockets. Known for its sleek aesthetics and integrated ecosystem, Apple has courted figures like Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and Apple CEO Tim Cook, who naturally have an iPhone in their hands.
On the other hand, the Samsung brand, with its many innovative devices and technologies, has won the favor of leaders like Bill Gates after integrating Windows and Android. He also owns an iPhone, but uses the Galaxy.
Jeff Bezos has been seen using his iPhone in public after the Amazon Fire Phone debacle. Another leader who is pushing the Apple brand is Uber co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick. Let’s not forget Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, a self-proclaimed Samsung Galaxy fan. However, there are rumors that he will accept an Apple iPhone soon.
It's no secret that Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and Twitter, is a big fan of Apple, and the iPhone is his favorite model.
What about Google?
And to round off the list, we have to talk about billionaire Larry Page and Google idealist Sergey Brin. They already use the Android operating system extensively, but unlike Gates, they use the Pixel line of the company itself.
Even though the owner of Android is a powerhouse in the technology sector, its phones are still not a big hit among users, but that could change. The company is investing more and more in its devices to compete on equal terms with the main players in this field, Samsung, Apple and Xiaomi.
Furthermore, Motorola, which has also not won over the taste of the rich, is also interested in expanding its line of premium cell phones.
