![]() Wirecutter also highlights the Frameo digital frame for its modern touchscreen – but ignore the extremely limited feature set, no web interface, and heavily reduced longevity (due to the inherent issues with touchscreen digital frames). For example, they highlight Aura frames due to their high-resolution display, yet they ignore the host of issues related to missing USB/SD card support, no internal storage, and no video & audio support. Many of the frames are picked for their sensational aspect. Wirecutter tends to take a very narrow approach to its digital frame reviews. they’re available with either a 10-inch or an increasingly popular 15-inch display.Īre the digital frames recommended by Wirecutter worth it? Pix-Star doesn’t charge monthly fees and has a host of unique features like web albums (from social media) and remote configuration support. They’re also well suited to elderly users and fill in the spaces left by Aura’s sacrificed features. If you want a digital frame for the family, Pix-Star’s frames are one of the most capable and feature-rich options. Aura’s digital frame is just one of many premium frames worth looking at. If you’re looking for the best digital frame for 2022, we recommend looking elsewhere.

If these servers go down, or your frame loses its connection (which happens often), you can’t view or manage your photos. They’re 100% reliant on a constant connection with Aura’s cloud servers. Aura’s frames don’t work offline – and this is a big problem, particularly for elderly users. You can adjust their settings, start slideshows, import photos from external sources like social media, manage cloud storage, and more. For comparison, Pix-Star lets you manage and control up to 25 Pix-Star frames from one account. ![]() This means that you cannot control all of your Aura digital frames at the same time, remotely or otherwise. Aura’s frames don’t interconnect well either. These are all key features that competing frames like the Pix-Star offer at a much lower price point. In Aura’s case, features like offline usage, USB/SD card, internal storage, and a sub-par mobile app. The high cost of these panels leads to features being sacrificed. The issue here is that you won’t tell the difference between a 2K digital frame and a 1024×768 frame from across the room (but you will see slight differences upon close inspection). High-resolution displays on digital frames are very common, so they’re harder and more expensive to source. Much of this is due to the cost of the display panel. Aura’s digital frames are arguably one of the most expensive sub-15-inch Wi-Fi frames on the market. ![]() Unfortunately, aside from their high-resolution displays, Aura’s frames are missing several key features required of any modern Wi-Fi digital frame – such as USB/SD card support, internal storage, video and audio playback, and more. Aura’s digital frames have great displays, relatively versatile features, and an aesthetic design. Wirecutter firmly places the Aura digital frame as its favorite frame of 2022.
