VIDEO: THIS GADGET TURNS YOUR PHONE INTO A POLAROID CAMERA

Rewind to 2015, Prynt launched its first modular add-on unit designed to turn your smartphone into something like a Polaroid instant camera. The first design was a little bulky and the company quickly followed up with the Prynt Pocket, a stylish new iteration that was less than half the size of the original. Initially only offered for the iPhone, the Prynt Pocket, for Android has now been developed. 

The Android iteration seems largely the same as the iPhone version, with both allowing the phones to dock directly into the unit. The company has gone with a USB-C connection on the device, while this helped future-proof the device moving forward, it also means the majority of the people with anything less than a supercurrent Android phone will be left a little frustrated. 

The Prynt Pocket for Android uses sticker paper and can print around 20 photos per charge. The device uses ZINK ink-free thermal printing technology, so you have to use the proprietary printing paper from the company. It is a mild limitation, but probably no more frustrating that if the device had incorporated a specifically designed ink system. 

Using the system's app, you can make a simple short video, from which a still image is generated and printed. The printed photo is then viewed on the app before it comes to life when it prints. It is a fun feature that will probably be amusing to try once and then be swiftly forgotten. 

The Prynt is about producing instant Polaroid-style sticker photos from your smartphone and on that front it delivers. Take a look at the Prynt Pocket for Android in the video below. The Prynt is estimated for delivery in April 2018.
