Canon has announced the Selphy QX20, a new entry in its lineup of portable printers. Like its predecessor, it can print pictures onto square 6.86cm x 6.86cm (2.7") paper, but the new generation adds the ability to print 5.3cm x 8.6cm (2.1" x 3.4") 'card size' images. It also gains the ability print without boarders on three sides.
Currently, the square paper sells for $14.99 for a 20-pack. 20 pieces of the card size paper will cost the same, but it'll also be available in a 60-pack for $40.99. The Selphy QX20 can connect to Android and iOS devices over Wi-Fi, using Canon's Selphy Photo Layout app.

Charging the QX20 should be a much nicer experience compared to the QX10. While the old model featured a micro USB plug and took around 120 minutes to charge, Canon says the QX20 can charge in around 80 minutes via the near-universal USB-C. It will print slightly faster as well; according to the company it'll take around 40 seconds per page, versus 43 seconds for the old model.
One downgrade from the previous model is that, in the US, the QX20 will only come in two colors: grey and white. The QX10 was available in four: black, white, pink, and green. International buyers for the QX20 will also have the option to get it in red, but that's still one fewer color than the QX10.
The Selphy QX20 will be available in October and will retail for $149.99.
