Aura Frames Aspen Black

The Aura Frames Aspen is a digital photo frame that I effortlessly incorporate into my interior. The matte anti-reflective screen has a premium look and ensures that I enjoy my photos even on sunny days. The frame does not have a memory card slot. Therefore, I only put my photos on the frame via the app, which means an internet connection is always required. If offline storage space is important to you, this is something to keep in mind.

User-friendly app Installing the photo frame is quick. I download the Aura Frames app, create an account, and connect the frame to my smartphone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. After that, I immediately send images to the photo frame. In the app, I also set the time interval between photos and videos. This allows me to choose whether to play the photos faster or look at them longer. I test the app myself, but I also get the option to add family or friends. They then send photos to the frame remotely. That is why I find this photo frame very suitable as a gift. In the app, you also get the option to add photos to the frame in advance. This way, photos are already on it when you unpack it, making it a nice surprise for a birthday or wedding anniversary, for example.

Anti-reflective screen The matte finish of the frame immediately catches my eye. The 11.8-inch screen is anti-reflective. That is why I feel comfortable placing the frame on the cabinet by the large window in my living room. That is where the sun shines brightest. The paper-like matte finish is therefore functional, but also looks beautiful in my interior. The colors on the full HD screen are bright and have a lot of contrast, making my vacation photos look vibrant. That is why I consider this photo frame a real eye-catcher in my home.

Interactive touch bar There is an interactive touch bar on the top and side of the photo frame. With it, I can adjust the volume of the built-in speakers, replay a video, and quickly skip photos and videos in an instant. Thanks to the convenient placement of the touch bars, I do this effortlessly without lifting or moving the frame. The touch bar responds quickly but is not too sensitive. This allows me to adjust exactly the desired setting without accidentally touching my screen. As a result, the frame stays clean longer. I first place the photo frame horizontally on my cabinet. When I then place it vertically, the photos rotate automatically. I enjoy experimenting with the layout of my interior, so I appreciate being able to move the photo frame easily without complicated settings.

I did hesitate for a moment before buying this photo frame given the price, but once you see it in action, all doubts vanished. This is a premium product and lives up to expectations. You can also pre-prepare the frame with photos and even a Wi-Fi password before giving it as a gift.

Bought it for my parents and all the grandchildren have the app to put photos on it!
