Where reviewers disagree Image quality splits the two. Tom's Guide lists 'Excellent image quality' as a pro and calls shots 'gorgeous,' while TechRadar rates the camera's standalone digital images 'poor' and only on par with a basic smartphone. Both agree the printed results look great; the divide is over the digital sensor.

Charge time (zero to 100%): just over two hours · Battery remaining after 20 prints: three bars left
The images this camera takes are gorgeous, regardless of the weather and time of day.
As for low-light performance, it's the best I've seen from an instant camera.
My only gripe is that you can only transfer digital copies of printed images to your smartphone, which is extremely annoying.
Print eject time: around 15 seconds
the Mini Evo is comfortably our favorite hybrid instant camera so far.
With print quality set to "Instax Rich", the Mini Evo produces photos that are on par with Fuji's fully analogue instant cameras.
The Mini Evo's digital images aren't nearly as impressive as its printed ones, with a noticeable lack of detail and significant noise levels in darker scenes.
