Emir BardakçıXiaomi has recently unveiled the Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro, a compact and technologically advanced device designed to bring professional-grade photo printing into a portable format. The printer is currently available for pre-order at 599 yuan (approximately $83 USD), with an official release date set for June 16 at 10:00 AM in China. This device utilizes state-of-the-art thermal sublimation printing technology and offers robust integration within the Xiaomi Mijia smart ecosystem, all of which can be managed via the dedicated Mijia App.
Advanced Thermal Sublimation Printing
The Mijia Pocket Photo Printer Pro leverages thermal sublimation technology, which eliminates the need for conventional ink cartridges. Instead, it applies heat to specialized photo paper, achieving a resolution of 313×313 dpi. This process supports the reproduction of 256 distinct color gradations, resulting in smooth transitions and accurate detail within printed images. Notably, each photograph is automatically coated with a protective layer, which enhances resistance to both scratches and water, thereby preserving color integrity and image quality over time.
3-Inch Self-Adhesive Photo Format
The printer outputs photographs in a 3-inch (50mm×76mm) self-adhesive format. This feature permits users to easily affix their prints to various surfaces, facilitating creative applications such as personalizing photo displays, decorating scrapbooks, or customizing gifts. The self-adhesive design obviates the need for additional materials like glue or tape.
Intelligent Features via Mijia App
AR Video-Embedded Photos
The Mijia App enables users to embed 15-second video clips into printed images. When scanned, these photos can playback the associated video content, effectively transforming static prints into interactive multimedia artifacts.
Audio-Enhanced Imaging
With the “Photo with Voice” functionality, users can attach voice recordings or audio files to each print. Scanning the completed photograph triggers playback of the embedded audio, adding an additional communicative dimension to physical images.
Multi-Device Bluetooth Connectivity
Bluetooth 5.2 support allows the printer to connect with multiple devices concurrently, with improved stability and lower power consumption. Print jobs are managed via an automatic queue, streamlining the user experience and eliminating the need for manual switching between devices.
Extensive Template Library
The Mijia App includes a comprehensive range of templates, such as collage layouts, professional portrait frames, long-format artistic designs, and one-click creative generation tools. These resources enable users to customize their prints with minimal effort.
For those seeking further enhancements to their Xiaomi device experience, the MemeOS Enhancer app—available via the Play Store—offers access to hidden features, system app updates, and direct screen-based update controls.
