Xiaomi Youpin has launched a brand new mobile printer on their crowdfunding platform called the Jiyin Gramophone Photo Printer. The bug draw of this product is that it can print AR photos, features direct wireless network connection, and the crowdfunding price is 699 yuan, which translates to about $100.

According to the official introduction, the Jiyin Gramophone Photo Printer adopts AR recognition tracking technology. When printing photos, it can realize up to 60 second of audio and save data to the cloud. Scanned photos can play audio, and you can apparently send these sound photos to friends via apps like WeChat, which is an interesting prospect.

The printer prints 6-inch photos at a resolution of 300dpi, and it takes about one minute to print these. In addition to this, the printed photos are automatically coated to prevent fading, oxidation, water splashes and fingerprints. The photo printer also supports a variety of connectivity options and printing methods.

The Jiyin Gramophone Photo Printer measures in at about 205 × 124.6 × 85.4mm and it weighs a fairly decent 1.4kg so it definitely lives up to the idea of being a mobile printer. Honestly with this set of features, it’s a pretty interesting device. In terms of battery life, you can print about 40 photos when fully charged, which isn’t really all too bad.
