LG has unveiled its new pocket-sized photo printet - Pocket Photo 2.0 (model PD239) mobile printer - which the company says it will showcase at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

LG's latest Pocket Photo device provides wireless connectivity with NFC and Bluetooth, enabling users to print custom 5.1 x 7.6cm (2 x 3 inch) pictures from tablets and smartphones. The new portable printer is compatible with Android and iOS.

The LG Pocket Photo 2.0 is one of the smallest mobile photo printing devices on the market. The new version is 4mm thinner than its predecessor, but manages to deliver more prints per charge. Moreover, the LG Pocket Photo 2.0 prints pictures rendered at 313dpi. After downloading and installing the free Pocket Photo editing app, users can wirelessly connect their smartphone or tablet and begin printing.

LG has enhanced the editing features in the Pocket Photo app to let users experiment with an expanded range of customisation options. A new set of filter effects has been added, as well as a clever frame augmentation feature. The updated app still offers the ability to embed QR codes in photos.

The Pocket Photo 2.0 uses the proven ZINK technology, eliminating the need for expensive ink cartridges, ribbons or toner. Zink printing technology utilises heat to activate the necessary colour-forming chemistry embedded in each sheet of paper. Compared to conventional printing processes, Zink's inkless paper system preserves images for longer and produces less smearing. The Pocket Photo 2.0 can print 30 photos on a single charge.

Available in pink, jewel white and lime yellow, the new Pocket Photo is now available in China and will go on sale globally in 2014.
