In pictures: World leaders and the phones they use

Be it Narendra Modi, Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin, people are usually up to date with where our world leaders travel, what they are driven in, what they wear and what they eat, but there is one thing about them that rarely meets the public eye…and that is their mobile phone that keeps them connected to the world. But it isn’t a mystery anymore.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump is controversy's favourite child. And his mobile phone is no different. Trump had been using an unsecured Android phone until early last year but finally, he was convinced by the administration to trade that in for an iPhone. And what happens to be an otherwise rare announcement, it was officially confirmed by White House director of social media Dan Scavino Jr in a tweet.

We find at least one thing common between Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi. Rahul appears to be an ardent iPhone fan… at least, that’s what phones he was spotted with during public appearances suggest.

It’s just not high-end phones, leaders also use basic phones as well. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was recently seen showing off his two phones at an event. One of them appears to be a basic Nokia phone and the other a top-of-the-line Android handset.
