Fujifilm just announced the Instax mini LiPlay+ instant camera, which is a refresh of the original mini LiPlay from 2019. It's been six long years, so the company has added some nifty features here.
First of all, there's a second camera on the rear that's intended for selfies. It features a wide-angle lens and joins the pre-existing front-facing camera. There's a new functionality that lets users combine the content from both cameras to create unique layered images. That's pretty nifty.
Introducing the next generation of hybrid instant camera: instax mini LiPlay+™
The updated mini LiPlay+ adds new creative tools and a refreshed design, giving image makers more ways to tell their stories with photos and sound.

The design is mostly the same as before, but the rear LCD is larger. This should make it easier to accurately compose images before printing them out. To that end, there's a new film type accompanying the launch of this camera. The Soft Glitter instant film is available in ten-exposure packs and offers gold accents and soft hues to "bring a calming shimmer" around the frames. Film packs cost around $18.
There's also a redesigned app with plenty of new features, including the ability to add short audio clips to images. These multimedia creations can be viewed by scanning a QR code in the print, which will trigger the audio on a smartphone or similar device. The LiPlay+ app lets users further edit images before printing them via the camera.
The camera will be available for purchase by the end of the month and costs $235. There will be blue and beige versions. The original mini LiPlay didn't quite make our list of the best instant cameras, but several Fujifilm Instax models did. The company makes good stuff.
