In this scene, we can glimpse the equipment of the series Galaxy Z Fold for the first time. It has a strong notch running through the center of the internal display similar to the one found in devices of this series. In the scene that follows, Dr. Jurati takes some steps to amplify the signal of all the characters and opens the transporter window. Here you can see the notch of the device from a closer distance. As reported by the website 9to5Google, given that the filming of the second season of the series Star Trek: Picard started at the beginning of 2021, it uses the second generation of the Fold. At the moment, it is not clear if this is product placement, or if the creators of the series used the device because they simply found it interesting. Considering that the phone is used as a one-time prop in the incriminated work and that it is not even very visible, we think the second option is more likely.
