With the frame being quite expensive, we probably won't be replacing every frame in the house with one of these. Uploading photos is very simple (although we found it took a few minutes over Wi-Fi) and you have the option to store them in different albums once uploaded.Īlbums can also be imported directly from Google which can save time if your pictures are already well organised but if not, photos can be easily selected from the gallery on your smartphone. The frame’s integrated storage is vast allowing a few hundred pictures to be saved on the frame at a time. This is a function we didn't use, although we struggled to see the appeal of it, as it probably wouldn't be something we would normally look for in a photo frame. The frame has built-in speakers for videos with sound, and the volume can also be adjusted with the remote control. Handy other features include the option to add a clock display, show captions on your photos and a remote control enabling you to click through the photos more quickly or to switch the album being shown. We also had it set to sleep at certain times of the day, such as when we weren't home or were watching a movie. Our favourite feature was the frame’s motion sensor that allows the screen to go into standby and recommence photo display when it detects motion. We preferred a relatively quick turnover of photos, as we found it entertaining to watch new photos appear on the screen. With the easy-to-use Nixplay app, you can set your photos to stay from anywhere between 5 seconds to a few minutes.

We switched between these regularly and loved that there was a different photo on display each time we looked at the frame. The screen itself has a very clear display with no glare and pictures can come onto the screen with a range of PowerPoint type movements. It comes in a few different colours and designs, too. Its simple, stylish design means it doesn’t look out of place next to other photo frames and would suit any modern home decor. We tested out the W10F frame (10.1 inch with Wi-Fi) and were suitably impressed. You don't even need to narrow down your choice of photos - you can now show them all. If like us you never quite fulfil the intention of printing and displaying photos in your home, the Nixplay photo frame could be the solution.
