New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) Meta Founder & CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been awarded his blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by his coach Professor Dave Camarillo after several years of training.
As an end-consumer, people use the iPhones and Samsungs of the world but what intrigues a common smartphone user is the question, “What phone(s) does Silicon Valley chief executive officers use?” While the answer is pretty apparent when it comes to the preferences of CEO’s like Tim Cook, or even Sundar Pichai, the information on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s daily driver is dated.
Few years ago, Zuckerberg expressed his liking for Android OS and he said that he used a Samsung smartphone.
In 2020, Zuckerberg got on a call with YouTuber Marques Brownlee aka MKBHD. During the call, he was asked which phone he had in his pocket, the Facebook CEO replied, “you know, I’ve been using Samsung phones for a few years and I am a big fan of them. I think they build great phones.”
In fact, Instagram head Adam Mosseri recently told MKBHD that “Android’s now better than iOS.”
Zuckerberg is an ‘Android guy’
While Zuckerberg did not delve into information on the model that he was using, he did say that he likes Android since a large number of the population around the world uses Android smartphones. He further said he wants the teams at Facebook to have more exposure to different Android smartphones rather than just the iPhones.
Back to “Which phone does Mark Zuckerberg use?” It seems that the CEO is still sticking to a Samsung handset. He recently attended Taylor Swift’s concert during her Eras Tour in Santa Clara, California and shared some pictures as well as a Story on his Instagram handle. In the story, he was “Checking 13 emails on the way to the concert” on his phone.
He was holding a black colour phone which pretty much looked like a Samsung Galaxy S21 (or Samsung Galaxy S21+). The team at Times of India-Gadgets Now then scrolled down his profile (No! we are not stalkers!) for older posts for clues and found another image in which he is seen holding the same black-coloured smartphone. We did some “magic” and deduced that Zuckerberg uses Samsung Galaxy S21 (or it could be Samsung Galaxy S21+).
It must be noted that the phone could be a Samsung Galaxy S22 (or Samsung Galaxy S22+) as both phones have a similar design. We couldn’t really get into the details of the phone’s design due to the under-par image quality to confidently conclude that it is indeed a Galaxy S21.
In any case, that’s a dated phone, especially when it comes to the preference of the CEO of the world’s largest social media company. And we thought they changed phones every year!
