As the eagle-eyed team at9to5Googlespotted in Season 2 episode 2, Dr. Agnes Jurati taps away at her PADD tablet – something we’ve seen many times since it debuted in the mid-eighties Star Trek: TNG. But what’s that next to it? The props team have tried to disguise it with a case to make it more futuristic, but there’s no disguising the tell-tale crease of a foldableSamsungphone.
So which Samsung has boldly gone into the 25th Century?
Star Trek: Picard put the wrong phone in space
The 9to5Google team reckon the disguised Samsung is theGalaxy Z Fold 2: as they point out, filming for this season began in early 2021 so that’s too early for theGalaxy Z Fold 3, and the lack of a visible camera cut-out – a pretty distinctive part of the original first generation Galaxy Z Fold – means it’s probably not the first-gen either.
And, well, surely the more obvious folding phone choice for the Picard crew to use would be theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G? I mean, it even flips out just like the classic Star Trek communicator.
For me, though, I reckon Star Trek missed a trick here. While Samsung has massively improved the design of theSamsung GalaxyFold to make it more reliable, I don’t think it’s durable enough to last another four centuries. No phone is. Or at least, no ordinary phone.
But there is one phone that is anything but ordinary. A phone whose silhouette is as recognisable as a Starfleet starship. A phone that’s tougher than any Tricorder. A phone so solid that if you threw it at a Romulan warbird it’d do more damage than any of the Enterprise’s photon torpedoes. A phone that many people say is one of thebest phonesever made.
