instax mini LiPlay+ Hybrid Instant Camera — Sand Beige

Product description

The instax mini LiPlay+ is a hybrid instant camera and smartphone printer presented in a textured Sand Beige finish. It pairs a Main Camera with a wide‑angle Selfie Camera so you can shoot two perspectives and merge them with Layered Photo Mode. The rear 3" LCD lets you preview and edit images before printing.

Creative controls include a 2‑second and 10‑second self‑timer, automatic exposure and flash management, instax‑Rich and instax‑Natural color modes, plus a selection of artistic filters for finishing touches. Photos captured on a phone can be printed wirelessly over Bluetooth using the free instax mini LiPlay app, which also enables remote shooting, adds frames, stickers and text overlays.

Sound features let you attach short audio clips to prints using instax Sound Print — four recording options attach a 3‑second voice or ambient clip to a printed photo that can be heard by scanning its QR code. The instax Sound Album turns image collections into animated, music‑backed videos. Audio data is retained securely for up to 24 months.

For storage and power the camera includes a USB‑Type‑C charging port and a Micro SD card slot (Micro SD card sold separately). The unit requires instax mini instant film (sold separately) for physical prints. The LiPlay+ is offered in two premium textured colors, Sand Beige and Midnight Blue, in a slim rectangular body designed for portability.

Pros

  • Dual cameras plus Layered Photo Mode
  • 3" LCD and on‑board editing before printing
  • Sound‑tagging and app‑based creative tools

Cons

  • Requires separate instax mini film
  • Bluetooth pairing can be tricky for some phones
  • Audio clips retained for a limited time (24 months)

VerdictA stylish, compact hybrid that combines instant prints with smartphone convenience. Dual cameras, on-board editing and sound‑tagging add creative options, while Bluetooth printing and USB‑C charging keep it practical for everyday use.

Reviews

  1. Lori Hicks 5/5

    Adore the retro prints

    Fantastic camera — I really love the vintage look of the photos.

  2. Amanda 5/5

    Perfect fit

    Fits perfectly for what I needed.

  3. Shona 1/5

    Connection problems

    Followed every step but the camera wouldn’t pair with my modern Android. I waited and even compared with my sister’s unit — her partner who’s tech‑savvy couldn’t get it working either. I tried guides and customer support but got no response, so it sat unused and ruined holiday plans.

  4. Samantha 5/5

    Capturing summer memories

    Works like a compact digital camera with instant‑print output and a built‑in printer — I’m very happy with it!

  5. AzuraStars 2/5

    Box arrived unsealed

    The package was unsealed and there were fingerprints on the screen protector, which is worrying. It’s meant to be a gift, so I haven’t powered it on yet. I opened it only because the seal was broken to confirm the contents were all present. Paying full price for a product that’s arrived clearly tampered with feels unacceptable.
