Motorola is announcing that they are going retro for their latest Moto Mod smart phone add-on. Specifically, it is the Polaroid Instal-Share printer which attaches at the back and instantly prints colored photos taken with the motorola phone. The company has been releasing several interesting add-ons for their Moto Z smartphone line, extending its function further. Previous examples include the moto insta-share projector, which can project the phone’s screen up to 70-inches on any surface. Motorola also has a moto smart speaker with Amazon Alexa functionality. For gamers, they even have the moto gamepad which attaches to the top and bottom of the phone providing controllers.
Simply snap the mod on your Moto Z, click the physical button to launch the camera and take a picture, then print right from your phone. The Polaroid Insta-Share Printer even allows you to print your favorite pictures from Facebook, Instagram and Google Photos. Users can print 2×3-inch photos on the spot with the bundled ZINK Zero-ink paper. Since the ink is on the special paper, there is less moving parts inside the device. After taking a photo, users can peel off the adhesive backing and it can be placed almost anywhere.
This is not the first time a Moto Mod was made in partnership with a camera company. In fact, high-end camera company Hasselblad offers their True Zoom moto mod which adds a pancake Hasselblad lens with 10x zoom. There is also a moto 360 camera mod which lets users shoot and edit 360-degree ultra HD video with 3D sound.
What makes the Polaroid Insta-share moto mod interesting however is that it also looks like a retro device. Clad entirely in white and somewhat bulky, it almost looks retro-futuristic straight out of the 80s. It also comes with filters to make the retro feeling in the photos as accurate as possible.
The Polaroid Insta-share Printer is now available for pre-order with an MSRP of $199 USD.
