![]() ![]() It’s surprisingly smart, and elegant enough to avoid the slightly fusty feel that photo frames have. Really disappointing and the opposite of joy. The Aura Mason Luxe is one of the best digital photo frames money can buy. If you love banging your head against something meant to bring joy, and have plenty of time to kill with no guarantee of success… this may be the device for you! And now, I’ll either need to re-add all the photos I want on the device or contact support to have them do this. I guess I’ll reset to factory settings again, once I care enough to waste more of my time on this. The Aura Mason Luxe is a classy photo frame with an unusually good display. Tried another 5 times, and I’m ready to throw this into the trash. And: back to not connecting to the wifi (and the frame’s new location is located right next to the router). The clarity of 2048 x 1536 resolution is quite amazing and it ensures that the photos will always be displayed in. Then I had to unplug the frame and move it to another location in my house. The quality of the photo is unbelievable. Thankfully, this worked! So I excitedly added a bunch of photos. Support told me to reset to factory settings… which, ok, even though it literally arrived from the factory and had never been used. Very excited! Then, totally unable to connect it to my wifi, after trying about 15 times and with other apps and devices having no issue connecting. Can the Aura digital picture frame play video and audio files The Aura digital picture frame is not capable of video or audio playback. Web app for easy access on other devicesĪs I opened with, I love the whole kit, and the Aura frame is lovely hardware-AuraFrames just feels like a beta release and could really stand some dedicated development time. They’re a whole lot cheaper and the viewing experience may even be superior when viewed from across the room thanks to Pix-Star’s 4:3 aspect ratio.Video support (Live Photos are awesome, videos would be great, too!).But there are good reasons to get a dedicated frame. Smart displays from Google and Amazon sell for around 100. ![]() Integration with iOS share menu, for easy sending to a frame from within the native photos app The two models I tried from Aura are 200, and Nixplay frames cost the same or more.Option to tune the display algorithm to, for instance, adjust the relative frequencies of recent and older images Im really excited about this Aura Smart Picture Frame, first and foremost because of how beautiful it is There are some digital photo displays out there.Option to add a timer to photos so that they auto-delete after a certain period of time, enabling temporary pictures.Other features that would really sell AuraFrames : All in all, it’s pretty frustrating given its learning curve-another pass or two through UX quality control and testing would help a lot. There are redundant processes that seem to use different theories of execution. For instance, “save” doesn’t accurately express that pressing that button will send a photo to a frame. However, the overall workflow of AuraFrames is unintuitive and there are some misleading processes to get photos where you want them. Love the concept and the execution is perfectly functional. ![]()
