Apparently so, with an additional hand scanner.

'Star Trek: Picard' uses the Galaxy Z Flip 3 to make a very realistic Tricorder prop [Gallery]
Following the appearance of a Galaxy Z Fold, Star Trek: Picard is now using Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 3 to make a realistic Tricorder prop...

Just my opinion but it is an ugly, generic sci-fi prop, it doesn't seem to flow from the same lineage as the TNG, DS9, VOY era Tricorders. I suppose they were hamstrung by the garbage in series 1 and 2.A

You see, STAR TREK has shifted from the Enterprise visiting different planets and situations (which presented characters and stories exploring the human condition via allegory) to the main characters having to stop one villain after another who wants revenge/domination/destruction, often involving Mystery Box plots. And usually with a bunch of WRATH OF KHAN references and riffs. That’s mainly what the franchise has been for 15-plus years (although NEMESIS was a sneak preview).
So, pew pew.
I don’t think STAR TREK has been very aesthetically pleasing, design-wise, probably since VOYAGER.

Crusher had one in sickbay.
Admittiedly I've only watched one episode of Picard, but from the reviews of the rest of the series I've seen it seems there isn't much use of Tricordes anymore. It just seems to have descended into Pew Pew blaster fights.
I just got home from watching the Adam Driver B movie "65" and even he seemed to use his equivalent of Tricorder more than any modern Trek.

I liked the design of the E-E, but aside from that, the rest not so much.

Wouldn't that be basing an assumption on insufficient evidence?
I've seen RLM reviews.

Love them! Mike and Rich are on point. When they get to what to expect next in the season, you can tell, though, that they do still suffer from some PTSD, and who could blame them? Season 1 had at least an interesting premise that was mauled by poor writing, season 2 had no discernible premise at all, with even worse incoherent writing. To me, at least, season 3 breathes a totally different vibe.

Is that a dolphin phaser that Worf is holding?
Yep!
Well there's credit there for a bit of continuity. At least it isn't another generic gun style blaster.
Nah... Shatner would just take over and start interviewing Connor and Dominic.
With invisible nacelles? Don't think so. Maybe it was "towed" through space by several ships with warp drives?
How poetic, that the 1960s TV sci-fi series that "blue-skied" so much of today's extant technology and inspired the original Motorola Star-TAC flip phone, now uses the most advanced version of the real world flip phone to portray it's 25th century tech!
Guys and gals... there's a REASON Motorola named this phone the Star-TAC!
Motorola Razr Flip
And the Galaxy Flip
