Xiaomi’s tiny photo printer looks a lot like a popular Pokemon
What is it? The Xiaomi portable Bluetooth printer is a very small printer that is bright fluorescent yellow.
What makes it special? It looks like a cross between Pikachu, the most popular Pokemon, and a miniature printer. It’s also the first printer from Chinese behemoth Xiaomi.

What else should we know? It uses a ZINK (Zero Ink) technology to deliver one 50mm x 76mm print in 45 seconds with a print resolution of 313 x 400 dpi and support for up to three connected devices.
Any cons? The cost of the consumables is prohibitive at $62 per 100 prints. Other than that, as long as you can live with its intrinsic limitations (printing speed and small printing area), it makes for a decent portable printer.
Have you reviewed it? Not yet, but we’ve reviewed the HP Sprocket photo printer, a more expensive rival.
