Xiaomi is bringing its latest Portable Photo Printer 1S to markets worldwide, making it easier than ever to print your favourite memories directly from your smartphone. This new device, recently spotted on Xiaomi’s global website, uses innovative ZINK (Zero Ink) technology, which means you don’t need to worry about messy ink cartridges or ribbons-colours are activated by heat, keeping printing simple and clean.
The Portable Photo Printer 1S is truly pocket-sized, measuring just 124 x 82 x 22 mm and weighing only 180 grams. It can print photos up to 2 x 3 inches (about 50 x 76 mm) at a crisp 313 x 512 dpi resolution, delivering a photo in just 45 seconds.
The built-in paper tray holds up to 10 sheets, and the device comes with five sheets of adhesive-backed photo paper to get you started.
Connecting your phone is a breeze with Bluetooth 5.2-up to three smartphones can link at once, making it perfect for sharing at parties or family gatherings. The Xiaomi Home app lets you customize photos with borders, watermarks, templates, and filters before printing. Supported file formats include JPEG, PNG, and HEIF.
Powering the printer is a 500mAh rechargeable battery (via USB-C), capable of printing around 20 photos on a single charge. Extra photo paper packs are already available in some regions, with 20 sheets priced at about €13.20 in Europe. While the global price is yet to be confirmed, it’s expected to be around 399 yuan (₹4,500 / $55), based on the Chinese launch.
This launch brings Xiaomi’s trusted photo printing tech-already popular in larger home models-to a truly portable format. Compared to previous models, the 1S stands out for its compact size, wireless convenience, and ink-free operation, making it a great companion for travel, events, or everyday fun.
Keep an eye out for official pricing and availability in India and other regions soon, as Xiaomi expands its smart gadget lineup for photo lovers everywhere.
