Our take on the Kodak Mini 3 Retro Portable Photo Printer

The Kodak Mini 3 Retro is a pocket-sized dye-sublimation printer that makes 3x3-inch prints from a phone over Bluetooth. Its 4PASS process adds a lamination layer, so prints resist water and fingerprints and are rated to last around a century. It suits people who want instant-style physical photos without a bulky instant camera. Against Polaroid and Instax rivals it prints square, peel-free photos with cheaper per-print running costs, but it needs the app and a charged battery, and print speed is slow.
