B I'm here in Paris on the brand new Galaxy Z Flip 6 from Samsung, and I thought what better way to spend my first day with the phone than to AI my way around Paris. I'm starting the day at 100%. Let's get started. All right, I'm here at my first stop. I'm here at the French coffee shop in Paris. Now, I don't speak French, and I really want a cup of coffee, so I'm going to use The Interpreter mode on the new Galaxy Z Flip 6. It's powered by AI and turns my English words into French for the Barista to understand. Let's see how it [Music] goes. Hello, um, I'm sorry, but I don't speak French, and I'd like to get some coffee. Do you have coffee here? [Music] Hello, yes, of course. What do you want? Is it a cake? I would like a cortado, please. [Music] Problem. Okay, so I was able to get a cortado at the French cafe here.

noticed that some of the words she was saying in French did not translate in English. Maybe what she meant or she thought it might be her accent was interfering with it. We're not sure, but was I able to order a cup of coffee in France with AI? I was. So, Samson, we can check that box, get going Galaxy Z Flip 6. [Music] All right, let's check in. I am at 89%. We've been out and about for a couple of hours now. Um, most recently, I just shot some skateboarders doing some tricks. And what's cool is I just shot regular video, but another cool AI feature on this phone is something that came out with the S Series earlier this year. And when I play back the video, I can press my finger and hold it on the screen, and it will automatically add little frames in between the frames to make it slow motion. It's really impressive. Uh, with the skateboarders, I actually tried it with our video producer Jay. He was doing some weird things with his hands. If you

look at the fingers. It's kind of freaky 'cause AI does not like fingers. But let's go on to our next location. All right, I'm here on a bridge over the canal Day St. Martin here in Paris, and I think this is a great place to talk about price. The new Galaxy Z Flip 6 is actually $100 more than it was last year, so it is now $1,100. Now why is it more? Is it inflation? Is it the new hardware like the camera, the hinge, or the screen? I'm not sure, because earlier this month we just got the Motorola Razr Plus, which also has a new screen, a new hinge, and a new camera, and this did not go up in price, and it's just $1,000. All right, we stopped again here. We're at Ma Cafe here in Paris for a quick orange juice and a quick bite. We've been filming for about 3 hours, and the battery life of the phone is around 80%. I've been taking lots of photos.

and videos with it. And using a lot of AI. But speaking of AI, my next AI stop on the tour is this is a real croissant. I am excited to take a bite of this, but I can actually use AI on the phone and draw an outline of croissant, and AI will make it into a beautiful piece of artwork alra croissant. So let's see how AI croissant compares to a real perisian croissant. So I'm going to open up the little quick active side panel here, tap on the draw tool, and I'm going to just draw like a stick figure of a croissant as best I [Music] can. I have a couple options here. Looks this one looks a little like a prawn or shrimp croissant. This looks like a very glazed croissant here. That looks pretty good. A I think this might be the keeper. So I just tap on the little tool here. I'm going to hit save, and there we go. Obviously, what I drew was basically lines that looked something like

croissant-shaped and it did the color it did the text here but I think if you looked at this you'd be like that is a croissant, but how does it compare to a real prean croissant let's find [Music] out. I'm kidding all right hey While We're stopped here and uh talking about photos and AI I want to show you another AI feature so uh I took a portrait mode photo of our video producer jday uh clearly portrait mode is nothing new on phones we've had it for a while but what is new on this phone is I could take this portrait and turn it into an work of art using AI. I have different like looks of it I could do like a comic book style, a watercolor style, a sketch style let's see how it works and what the results are of today's portrait here. I'm in the gallery app on the phone um I have different icons I'm going to tap on AI and you can see I get a couple things I could I could draw on the photo or I

could use portrait studio. I'm going to tap portrait studio and it found my subject here today. Now on the bottom, I have a couple different op comic 3D cartoon watercolor sketch and I can do different styles so why don't we draw let's try comic here and we generate and see how it looks like of my camera shooter and video producer today if he was a cartooner in a comic book what does Galaxy I do we're going to find out he looks nothing like today. I'm sorry jday you're filming right now you're right next to my mic does this look like you I'm going to go with no all right that's a no let's take it but I have other options though all right this looks even less like you in this one I'm going to go nowhere this looks like you if you and Tiger Woods and um Chris Tucker had a baby God damn it does and this that's Chance the rapper that is you were this is totally Chance the Rapper all right so clearly the

results of the portrait studio AI not great. Fun, fun to have a good laugh at ourselves, but if I'm paying $1,100 for a phone, I think I want something that looks a little more like myself. Now, there is one other AI photo feature I want to show you, and I think this is actually pretty cool. So, whereas portrait studio takes a real photo and turns it into a drawing or a sketch, I can take a real photo and draw on it, and my drawing gets turned into part of the photo. It's wild. So, let's take a look at a picture I took at the St. Martin canal, and I'm going to add a seagull to it. So, I tap on the AI tool, and then here I can remove stuff. But if I go to the sketch tool here, it says, Draw anything you want to generate an image. So, let's just try drawing a seagull, like a seagull flying over the canal there. All right, it's just a simple line drawing, and hit generate, and let's see what happens. Um, what's

interesting. Unlike the photo portrait studio where it took a realistic photo to make it stylized, this is going to take essentially a line drawing and make it look like a bird. That actually looks pretty good. Look at that. Wow. Um, here, I'm going to save a copy here, and let's see if we could, um, zoom in a little bit here. I mean, that's a pretty realistic looking bird. I don't even have words. I'm really impressed by this. I'm not sure when I would use this feature, but wow. Simply wow. [Music] All right, we thought we'd end the video in front of one of the most iconic parts of Paris, the Eiffel Tower. And what a better place to reflect on my day with the Galaxy Z Flip 6. So, uh, first of all, what have I learned? One, that Patrick Holland, he sunburns under the Paris sun in July, and that's not a lot of fun. But let's check on the phone. So, we started this video shoot about 5 hours ago, and the battery was at 100%. And now, 5 hours

later it's at 67%, so it dropped 33%. There was a lot of videos I shot with the phone, a lot of photos. The screens were at full brightness. I was thinking a lot of the generative AI, so that might explain a lot of that battery drop. Let's talk about the AI though, right? There was some that was really impressive and some that was really useful and some that was, well, I don't think I'll ever use again. The Interpreter tool in the restaurant I found really useful. I don't speak French, unfortunately, and it made me feel confident going in and ordering coffee. But then there's the portrait studio. While it was fun to see the ridiculous photos it made of my friend J day, I don't know if I would ever use that tool again. Maybe if you have kids, it might be fun for them to play with and see what they can come up with. And last, there's the ability to draw on a photo and turn your drawing into part of the photo. That kind of blew me away. Uh, when

that took my little two-line sketch of a seagull and turned it into a full bird flying down the St. Martin Canal. I mean, I don't know, it's a keeper in my book. When would I use it? I'm not sure, but this is only my first day with the phone. I have so much more testing to do, so many more videos to do, and I still got to compare it a lot more against the Motorola Razer. Plus, so if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you want to know more about the Galaxy Z Flip 6, check out our coverage on cnet.com.
