Xiaomi - Pocket Photo printer - Full Walkthrough Review [Xiaomify]

[@p1mbs974]

I think AR photos are a cool feature not for yourself but others. I imagine sending a birthday card with a photo that’s actually a small video

[@MicaG1303]

Sadly it's only possible with the app, and u can only use the printer app if u actually have the device :/

[@IvanMaksimov]

Unlisted KZbin video link encoded in QR code?

[@AlexChama]

@@IvanMaksimov What about it? The way Xiaomi did it works without a glaring QR code. The downside is that you have to use the app, which isn't that much of a downer in China itself, because Xiaomi is SUPER widespread there and even in the west Xiaomi devices are common as hell, but the issue is that you ought to use China Mainland servers which is a no-go for me. Basically, if Samsung or another company I'm willing to trust a little more made this and the app needed for it was common enough or even better yet if it was an open standard then this could be super lovely. As it is, it's a bit hard to find the utility for it in the Western part of the world.

[@GhostofYouZ]

@@MicaG1303 xiaomi device is way more cheap than any other phone brand lol 10x way cheaper than apple 5x cheaper than samsung lol..

[@ABCkirja]

it's an incredible idea but just far from practical because of the specific app needed for use

[@HealingwithShayla]

I am SOOOO obsessed with mine. Photos are not perfect or precise like they are in your phone gallery album so don't expect them to come out looking exactly like that BUT !! they are pretty good and decent photos. It doesn't really matter anyway you have the original photos in your gallery/storage so if you wanted to you could always look back on them. I like this printer because it's cheap and so are the photo papers and I also love the fact that it has an AR feature to scan your photo and you can watch your 15 second video. It's soooo fricken COOL !! And not only that but if you want to put it into your gratitude book like I do then you can simply peel that back off and it sticks to the page so no need to buy glue or tape to stick the photo into the book. I'm 1000% satisfied that I purchased this, it was worth my money and didn't break the bank either

[@archanaratnalingam6407]

how long does the ink last?

[@HealingwithShayla]

@@archanaratnalingam6407 it doesn't need ink to print. I'm not 100% sure what it uses but you don't need any ink for it, just the "xiaomi mi photo printer paper" and the device itself and that's it.

[@HealingwithShayla]

@@archanaratnalingam6407 it's like an endless supply because it doesn't need an ink cartridge. Sorry hope that's not confusing and hope that answers your question

[@Lntic]

Do you still like it? And ... Since it's thermal paper, have you noticed the photos fading over time?

[@LyraLasala]

How long does the prints last? Do they fade overtime?

[@gerritbruggen1830]

just bought 1 today, its handy for making quick shots of your kids or for traveling, easy to use very compact

[@MicaG1303]

Have you been able to scan AR videos with other apps? I think it's only with MI home..

[@gerritbruggen1830]

@@MicaG1303 i didnt try that yet, i will soon thanks for the tip

[@cari-8328]

Can it be used with regular paper too if you cut it to the size of it or does it have to be only the photo paper they sell for it? (Can’t find the answer anywhere sorry to be a bother)

[@gerritbruggen1830]

@@cari-8328 i honestly don't know that. maybe it damage the printer.

[@sukuna_on_your_table]

Hi, is the print long lasting?

[@chriscool1680]

The No ink is a major bonus

[@PaulZeeX]

Maybe I'm missing something - leaving aside the quite reasonable concerns about Xaiomi App storage location, security, etc, the AR feature discussed at 3:08 would appear to be excellent as a journal feature. I take a video of a memorable event (a wedding, baby's first steps, graduation, a travel experience). I select a still from it to print. I put the sticker in my journal. I add my written notes. At any time in the future (before the image fades ...), I open my journal, open my Xaiomi app, and as I'm reading my journal, I have indexed videos on demand (as opposed to potentially hours of wasted time trying to locate specific videos). Isn't that what would have made sense to demo here? Isn't that reasonably described as "AR printed photo"? What am I missing?

[@hgranado]

That's exactly the pont of the feature, you're not missing anything. The only down side is that only the person who took the picture can scan the AR videos, using his/her mi Home account, so it's still impossible to share those moments with friends or family, for example.

[@l_z1478]

Lol ,yeah i was gonna asked too, whether this is a thermal printer , or what new tech and will the picture faded or not

[@DoomscrollingHub]

KZbin GETTING REAL COMFORTABLE WITH DOUBLE ADS BEFORE THE VIDEO

[@sensovision]

Thanks for the review, I wonder how the quality compares to other mini printers?

[@KSIDDHESH]

For someone who makes these travel log albums and stuff , the AR thing would be pretty darn cool, but idk how it works , does it use the video from the device or is the video in the server and can it be accessed by any phone ?

[@soniaraza3703]

Yes by any phone

[@l_z1478]

Well ,i won't recommend, you need to check if the picture will faded away or not

[@AliFareedMC]

that would be great for scrapbooking on the go

[@alphen2006]

Orange paper has a barcode on it, device will read it and adjust print settings if needed

[@stevenfong2216]

how? should we scan it by our phone first?

[@BettiVB]

How do you use the orange paper, before each photo or each refill of 10 photos? I am confused about its purpose

[@DaveAerialPhotography]

Really good to see that you are still able to make new vids. For the printer if the quality of the prints would match the Mijia smart printer's quality I would probably pick it up. Thanks for the information, as always very entertaining and useful!

[@Matucks]

I can honestly careless about the quality, its perfect for me, it reminds me of a Polaroid from the 80s plus its ink free

[@jz5748]

How durable is it? Is it still working after 2 yrs?

[@amandaacevedo_6]

Just got mine, does anyone know how often should I calibrate? Every time I turn it on ? Every time I take a photo, every time I take a full batch ? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@rawr4243]

Didn't notice it's a sticker until.... 🙂 This gonna be so much fun bruh. Thanks a lot. 🥰

[@taprobanedelight4913]

just found about this ZINK technology while searching for printers. Very well demonstrated. Thanks!

[@LyraLasala]

How long does the prints lasts? Does it fade overtime as it's thermal?

[@walangtube]

Thermal printer... So this will fade over time as well? Unlike the standard photo paper?

[@fabioveneruso4420]

what about using different brand papers like canon, polaroid or others that have 2x3 inch sheets? will it work? and if it works, are the photos better or worse than the original papers?

[@indeedsussy7838]

No

[@tamibaceta]

It's the same zink technology, so it should work. On matter of improving the picture, I don´t count on it, because it's a common problem between zink printers (saturation and everything). But the ones I use from polaroid, are waterproof, so in that it may be better.

[@sportshighlights5398]

Ciao Fabio, l'hai per caso comprata? Hai provato altre cartucce?

[@ViXoZuDo]

As much as I have read online, all brands are compatible as long as you swap the "calibration sheet" (the orange paper) so you trick the printer to think you're using the paper from the brand. So, if you're planning on using other brands, just save the calibration sheet from the print paper that came with the camera.

[@msjane2412]

How is your printer now after using it for some time?

[@cly9825]

I hope xiaomi release new product for Xiaomi phone camera accessories, extend zoom lens .

[@l_z1478]

Does the photo stays like inkjet print? Or is it gonna faded like thermal print...?

[@mchanslam8313]

I also have lots of the old zink paper for the old printers. I wonder if it will take it and print those

[@Dan-e7r6w]

Thank you for the video! The prints come out with stripes like in the colours. Is there a way to improve the quality of the print? (There's no problem with the picture on the phone but the print itself has these lines/stripes.. :(

[@WonsOibaf]

Where they storage the video? On xiaomi cloud or on device? I mean what happen if I scan the photo with other device? It work?

[@parisqs]

It's Cool. May get one for next vacation trip

[@makingcookingfixing]

Thanks for this awesome review. I think we can't complain much, with the connectivity advantage this is a pola-roid, on ste-roid :-)

[@hadzival]

Hello. Will the photos fade eventually like thermal prints? And would you be able to view the AR on the app even if you don't have the printer? Like I want to give an AR photo to someone who doesn't have the printer, can the person view the AR video on her phone if he/she has the app? Thank you.

[@bddybdz]

Would like to know this too

[@chloelam7137]

I think if the person you're giving it to has the app, they can use it to scan the AR video. Idk how else they gonna scan the AR without the app

[@akkr8123]

Do the photos eventually fade with time or in the sun due to the thermal ink? Thanks

[@lovelyk1397]

I tried to resesrch it since the gadget is using a thermal method. Unfortunately they said that it will fade. Correct me if im wrong guys, i want to buy this too but idk now 😞

The paper for portable photo printers is still cheaper than paper for instant camera. And the advantage is that you can choose photos for printing and edit them before you print them. That's why it's a better choice than instant camera.
