Another controversial news is that the Instax Square SQ10 will feature an SD card slot and LCD screen on the back!

Fujifilm released this photo earlier this week on their Instagram page (@instax_square) with what is believed to be actual photos of the SQ10 model and clearly shows the LCD screen on the back.

Although Fujifilm have not officially confirmed this on their website, it does bear a canny resemblance to the Instax Square camera format they hinted at in their video which was released in 2016 (scroll down to see the video).

Here is a closer look at the LCD screen on the back of the Instax Square SQ10 photo released on Instagram:

It will be interesting to see what price Fujifilm will sell the instant square film for and indeed if they can price it competitively relative to the other instant film options then surely it will be a big hit particularly with people who love Instagram type photos.
