Secondly, Aura’s 16:9 aspect ratio ruins much of the viewing experience. From a couple of feet away, a 1024×768 and a 2k display are going to look very similar on a 10-inch or a 15-inch digital frame. Unless you closely inspect the display, you aren’t going to notice much of a difference. Most of the time, you’ll view a digital frame from a couple of feet or meters away.įor example, wall-mounting a digital frame on the wall in the living room makes them easy to look at from across the room. Yes, we’re used to the pixel-dense displays on our smartphones and premium laptops, but their day-to-day use is very different t the digital picture frame. The issue here is that the high-resolution display isn’t all that necessary. It’s part of the reason why Aura frames don’t offer internal storage, video and audio support, and USB/SD card support. These display panels cost a lot more to source and produce, leading to higher resale prices, and fewer features. When you buy Aura Wi-Fi photo frames, you’re mostly paying for aesthetics and a high-resolution display. It’s slower and doesn’t give much control over creating albums, starting slideshows from specific files and folders, etc. This isn’t possible with Aura’s frames.Īll photo-sharing needs to go through the mobile or web app. with competing frames like the Pix-Star, you can load photos in bulk to a USB/SD card, insert them into the frame, and play slideshows directly (without copying anything to the frame’s internal storage first). Since there is no remote configuration feature, troubleshooting issues while not in the same room is difficult.įinally, bulk photo-sharing isn’t easy with Aura’s picture frames. ![]() It’s a big deal for families and elderly users as managing several frames that need to constantly steam photos from a cloud source can be a nightmare. You can’t view or manage your frame’s storage, start slideshows, or adjust most of the frame’s settings. Where competing frames like the Pix-Star offer extensive offline features and photo access, Aura offers none. The display will go black and a “no connection” popup will display.Īnother closely related issue is that Aura’s Wi-Fi photo frames can’t work offline. When Aura frames lose their connection with the cloud servers, you can’t stream your photos. Unless you have a very stable, strong, and accessible Wi-Fi connection, you might also experience these drops. Many Aura users complain that the Wi-Fi drops frequently. How do Aura Wi-Fi frames store and display photos without internal storage or USB/SD cards you might ask? Aura frames rely on a constant connection to the Aura cloud servers through Wi-Fi. Despite these missing features, they’re still some of the most expensive high-end frames on the market, particularly in the 10-inch size range. Finally, we’ll show you what the competition offers – and if they’re the better choice! Let’s dive in! How Do Aura Wi-Fi Photo Frames Work?Īura Wi-Fi photo frames are unique among the top frames as they don’t have internal storage, USB/SD card support, or video/audio playback. We’re also going to explain which features don’t work out so well, and whether or not they justify the Aura frame’s eye-watering high price. In this guide, we’re taking a deep dive into Aura Wi-Fi photo frames! We’ll cover how they work, if they’re worth the high price tag, and what features are worth the money! ![]()
