Fujifilm Has Announced The Instax Mini 11 BTS Butter
There’s just something magical about having a physical picture in your hands.

Instant cameras make for wonderfully quirky gifts that are guaranteed to make happy not just avid photographers but everyone can appreciate the ability to press the shutter button and see a finished print just a few seconds later.
There is something magical about having a physical picture in your hands, these days we always forget to be present and live in the moment! Using Instax allows you to capture that memory and print it instantly. It’s no wonder then that the demand for instant cameras spikes every year around the holidays and celebrations. To meet this demand, Fujifilm has recently announced the Instax Mini 11 BTS Butter instant camera in collaboration with BTS.
BTS is a seven-member South Korean group that debuted in 2013. With numerous platinum-selling singles and albums and two Grammy nominations, BTS is one of the most famous and influential artists in the world. Their song “Butter”, the top summer song of 2021 according to Billboard, was the inspiration for this unique collaboration with Instax.
“The Instax Mini 11 BTS Butter version, like all Instax Mini 11 cameras, is designed to combine optimal portability with a fresh, trendy look” states Fujifilm in its official press release. “The BTS Butter version takes this look and adds special accents for BTS fans, including a vibrant Butter Yellow body with a colorfully designed bezel and matching shoulder strap, along with fun shutter button accessories including a jeweled look and the Butter heart emblem”.
Like all Mini 11 instant cameras, the BTS Butter version includes:
Automatic Exposure Function For Better Pictures Day Or Night
The “Automatic Exposure” function automatically senses the level of ambient light when the shutter button is pressed, and optimizes the shutter speed and flash output according to the condition. It allows even novice Instax users to take photos that are automatically properly exposed regardless of conditions, producing high-quality instant photo prints on the spot.
Selfie Mode For Quick & Easy Selfies
Users can activate the Selfie Mode, perfect for taking selfies and close-up shots, by simply pulling out the front end edge of the lens after powering the camera on. This makes it super easy to take selfies and close-up pictures.
Sleek Design With Attention To Detail
Contrasting design elements on the mini 11 BTS Butter version are achieved by using a different material around the lens from the rest of the camera body, which result in a fun, eye-catching look that’s very clearly Butter-inspired.
New Mini Film Variety
Also accompanying the launch of this exciting new instant camera is mini film BTS Butter version, featuring a vivid yellow border full of the trademark BTS Butter heart insignia. The film will be available in single cartridges featuring 10 exposures each.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
