Fujifilm’s Instax LiPlay Plus Debuts: A Hybrid Instant Camera That Prints, Snaps Selfies, and Adds Sound to Your Photos

Fujifilm Instax LiPlay Plus makes instant prints more fun and more personal by combining a dual-camera design, built-in printer, and audio-enabled photos you can replay with a quick scan. It’s a hybrid instant camera that blends digital flexibility with the charm of instant film, and it’s built for parties, travel, scrapbooks, and creative projects.

What makes it stand out is how it lets your prints “talk.” Using the companion Instax Mini LiPlay+ app, you can attach a three-second sound clip to any print. Record audio while you shoot or add it later from other sources. Each Instax Sound Print includes a QR code; scan it with your phone to hear the associated clip. You can even create an Instax Sound Album, a slideshow of multiple photos with audio, accessed via a single QR code for easy sharing.

The camera itself is designed for versatility. A 28 mm f/2.0 main lens with autofocus handles everyday scenes, while a 23 mm f/2.2 fixed-focus front-facing lens is ready for selfies and group shots. Layered Photo mode lets you build playful collages using images from both cameras, previewed on a sharp 3.0-inch TFT color LCD with approximately 920,000 dots. Store your shots in internal memory or add a microSD card for more space.

The Instax Mini LiPlay+ app does more than add sound. It turns your phone into a remote shutter for group photos and creative angles, and it lets you use the LiPlay Plus as a portable printer to turn smartphone photos into Instax prints on the spot.
