What happened

Fujifilm announced the Instax Mini Evo 2 instant camera. It uses a 1/2.77‑inch sensor, larger than the first Mini Evo’s 1/5‑inch sensor, and includes a 4.5‑inch rear touchscreen display. The device can record short, silent MP4 video clips at 560 × 992 pixels and 24 FPS to a microSD card, charges via USB‑C, and prints 2 × 3‑inch Instax Mini photos. The Mini Evo 2 is priced at $290 and will be available in black only at the end of November.

AIBeat analysis

The larger sensor could deliver sharper, higher‑resolution stills compared with the original Mini Evo, which may attract users seeking better image quality while retaining the instant‑print experience. The addition of a touchscreen and video capability expands creative options, suggesting the camera could appeal to a broader range of casual photographers.
