Fujifilm has introduced a new hybrid instant camera, the Instax mini LiPlay+. It updates the original LiPlay from 2019 with sharper styling, plus the addition of a second wideangle selfie camera on the back. It also gains USB-C charging, rather than Micro-USB. Otherwise, the feature set remains broadly the same.

- $235 /£189.99
- Hybrid digital camera / instax film printer

You can take photos using either the main camera or the selfie camera, and then choose whether or not to print them onto Instax mini film. Using the new layered photo mode, it’s also possible to combine images taken using the front and rear cameras, with one in the foreground and one in the background. Both cameras have tiny, low-resolution image sensors (1/5 type, 5MP), much like Fujifilm’s other hybrid instax cameras.
What’s more, you can also print photos from your phone’s camera roll via the dedicated LiPlay+ app. There’s a choice of Rich or Natural colour modes and you can add frames, stickers and filter effects, too.
Like the original, the new version offers the option of adding audio messages to images. It’s possible to record 3-second sound clips, which can then be played-back by scanning a QR code on the print using a smartphone.
The Fujifilm Instax mini LiPlay+ will be available in a choice of two colours, Sand Beige or Midnight Blue, from 30 October 2025 for $235 / £189.99. A matched case will also be available in each colour for £29.99.
A new ‘Soft Glitter‘ Instax mini film with “gold accents and soothing hues” on the borders will go on sale at the same time, costing £8.99 for a pack of 10 prints.
