Polaroid's $130 Zip Instant Photoprinter prints up your smartphone pics in 2- x 3-inch stickers.
Sleek, lightweight design ; Cheap ZINK sticker paper ; Works with iOS and Android ; Lots of funky frames, emoji and images to overlay on pics
Occasional connectivity issues ; Weak battery
The Polaroid Zip Instant Photoprinter is a little pricey at $130, but damn it if it's not a whole lot of fun to print your smartphone pics.

The Polaroid Zip Photoprinter can be a highly convenient companion for a camera phone, ready to print wallet-size photos in less than 45 seconds each.
Simple setup. Easy wireless printing from Apple and Android mobile devices. Supports NFC and Bluetooth.
Colors are a little dark in terms of a hue-saturation-brightness color model.

Similar to the Fujifilm Instax Share SP-1 , the Zip mobile printer, which sells for $129.99 (about £110 or AU$170), connects to your iOS or Android device via Bluetooth and, using a free app, turns photos from your phone or tablet into small, 2x3-inch...
The Polaroid Zip printer is an inexpensive pocketable wireless photo printer that turns your smartphone pictures into full-color 2x3-inch prints. Simple to set up and use, it doesn't require any consumables beyond Polaroid's Zink paper.
Prints are small and cost about 25 cents each (£0.15, AU$1). The print quality is OK all things considered, but don't expect inkjet or dye-sub printer quality. Built-in rechargeable battery lasts for just 25 prints.
Simple and fun to use, the Polaroid Zip is a great little accessory for freeing your photos from your smartphone.

Get the Polaroid Zip if you absolutely need a compact photo printer that you can carry around with you. Otherwise, consider Canon's Selphy CP1200, which produces better-looking prints.
Extremely portable ; No need to buy ink cartridges ; Rechargeable battery
Mediocre prints ; Clunky and buggy app
The Polaroid Zip is a very portable photo printer that lets you print out photos when you're on the go, but the resulting prints won't wow you.
