Xiaomi has again demonstrated its supremacy of smart lifestyle devices with the release of the Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro in China. As intended for photography lovers, travelers, and memory creators, the small printer brings together a perfect mix of contemporary functionality and retro photo printing. Pre-orders have already opened at 599 yuan (about $83), and open sales will start from June 16. Being able to print AR-enhanced photos and even insert voice messages, this printer is ideal for making digital memories into physical mementos.
The Xiaomi Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro is notable for its extremely compact build. At only 142.5mm x 86.8mm x 26.8mm and weighing roughly 308 grams, the printer fits comfortably in a jacket pocket, a backpack, or a handbag. The light build makes it perfect for those who need to bring a photo printer with them wherever they go — whether on holiday, to parties, or even to weddings and birthday celebrations.
At the core of the Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro is its dye-sublimation thermal printing technology, which guarantees high-definition prints of rich colors and detailed depth. Capable of supporting a 313×313 DPI resolution, the printer provides smooth color gradations as well as lifelike reproduction of images due to the 256-level continuous grayscale and expansive color gamut. Every photo also comes with an automatic lamination, providing protection against scratches, water damage, and degradation due to aging — an unusual feature in portable printers.
The printer is capable of using 2×3-inch (50mm×76mm) photo paper, ideal for pocket-sized memories. One print would take about a minute, and the paper tray accommodates 10 regular sheets or five adhesive-backed sheets, providing users with flexibility for regular prints or sticker-like prints for scrapbooks, journals, or gift.
What truly sets this printer apart is its integration with the Mi Home app, which brings creative personalization to a whole new level. Users can embed AR video clips of up to 15 seconds or voice messages into printed photos. Simply scan the print through the Mi Home app, and the embedded multimedia plays on your screen. This futuristic feature transforms ordinary photos into interactive stories.
Furthermore, the application provides a range of decorative borders, watermarking choices, and design templates so the user can customize every print according to the occasion or personal taste.
Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro employs Bluetooth 5.2 to facilitate fast and reliable pairing with smartphones and tablets. It also comes with multi-user sharing capabilities, enabling up to three users to connect at a time via their Mi Home accounts. It supports Android 8.0 or higher and iOS 13.0 or later, making it easy to install and use on most contemporary devices.
Fueled by an 880mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the printer provides customers with the assurance of making many prints on a single charge. It is charged through a USB Type-C port, which was a smart selection for universal usage and rapid charging. The shopping box comes with a USB Type-C cable, 10 photo papers, and a 10-print color ribbon cartridge — so customers can print immediately out of the box.
Xiaomi will be offering consumables independently in 10, 20, or 50-sheet bundles, each with a corresponding color ribbon cartridge, so users have affordable refill choices. This budget-friendly ecosystem makes the Mijia printer a reliable long-term partner for creative photo printing.
In other product-related news, Xiaomi has also launched a cordless hair straightening brush that is flight-safe and travel-friendly. Along with that, the company launched the Mijia High-Speed Hair Dryer Pro, which has smart scalp protection, carrying on its string of user-centric innovation across lifestyle segments.
Xiaomi Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro is not merely a portable printer — it's an artistic instrument meant for the social generation of today. Printing festival moments, designing personalized photo gifts, or incorporating multimedia into physical prints, this device introduces physical happiness back into the digital era. Xiaomi yet again raises the bar in consumer technology, and this printer is a great example of how innovation and emotional connectivity can come together.
