Xiaomi is more than just a smartphone brand has is
now making all sorts of lifestyle products. Expanding its portfolio of
offerings, the company has today announced that it will launch Xiaomi Mijia
Photo Printer on 19th December in China.
In the image released by the company, we can see
that the small-sized printer features the same form-factor as the regular
printers. However, just like other consumer electronics products from Xioami,
this one too features a minimal design.
On the top part, it comes with just a single button
for turning the printer ON/OFF. There’s also an indicator that shows the Wi-Fi
connectivity of the printer. On the right side, there’s a cartridge
compartment.
While nothing more related to the upcoming Xiaomi
Mijia Photo Printer in known, it seems that the printer will support printing
photos of up to 6-inch. The IoT-powered printer’s built-in printing mode is
expected to include ID Card, Polaroid Mode, Postcard Mode, among others.
This won’t be the first printer from Xioami as the
Chinese company had launched the Xiaomi XPRINT Pocket AR Photo Printer earlier
this year in February. Priced at 399 Yuan (US$ 58), it prints 54 x 86
mm photos with a 291 x 294 resolution.
Similar printers are priced between 700 Yuan (US$ 102)
and 1,000 Yuan (US$ 145) in the Chinese market but given that the upcoming
printer is coming from Xioami, we are expecting a more affordable pricing,
something around 500 Yuan (approximately US$ 73). However, to know for sure what
the company offers with this Xiaomi Mijia Photo Printer and its pricing, we’ll
have to wait for the official announcement at 02:30 PM in China on 19th
December.
