Kodak Charmera is launching a new $30 keychain camera that features a flip screen for taking selfies.

      Yashica's latest camera enhances the enjoyment of toy photography

      Miniature digital cameras are trending, and Yashica is now introducing a charming option for toy photography enthusiasts. The company’s new Funtastic Keychain Camera is just as playful as its name implies—a compact digital camera small enough to attach to your keys, bag, or lanyard. Its primary competitor is the well-liked Kodak Charmera, a tiny blind-box keychain camera that has become a viral favorite.

      Now, Yashica’s model enters the same fun camera space but adds a particularly handy feature: a 180-degree flip screen.

      The standout benefit of the Funtastic compared to most other toy-style keychain cameras is undoubtedly the flip screen. Instead of guessing your selfie frame, you can simply flip the screen up to see what you’re capturing. However, like many small digital cameras, its specifications are modest. Yashica lists a 1MP 1/4-inch CMOS sensor, F2.8 lens, 0.96-inch display, 1440 x 1080 JPG output, and AVI video recording at 30fps. It also charges and transfers data via USB-C, includes a built-in 200mAh battery, and supports microSD cards ranging from 4GB to 64GB, although the memory card is sold separately.

      In summary, do not purchase this camera expecting high-definition computational photography. Instead, consider it for the nostalgic images it produces, reminiscent of photographs from an old family album.

      Adorable, affordable, and highly collectible

      The standard Yashica Boy version is priced at HK$198, while the Snoopy and Hello Kitty editions are available for HK$218. This means the camera costs under $30, depending on conversion rates and shipping. It serves as a direct alternative to the Kodak Charmera, which also falls within the $30 novelty camera range. The Funtastic is set to ship the week of June 22, 2026.

      Google releases significant v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android

      After a long period of inactivity, Google seems to have recalled that it owns one of the best mobile photo editing apps. Snapseed 4.0 is now being launched for Android, bringing the app in line with its iOS counterpart after a phase of exclusivity that left Android users waiting.

      The journey began last June when Google unexpectedly revived Snapseed from its long dormancy with a major 3.0 update for iPhone, a move suggesting the company was serious about the app again. At the start of this year, Google confirmed that Android would soon be updated as well, and true to its word, the Play Store listing has now been refreshed to show version 4.0, allowing both platforms to share the same version simultaneously.
