A step below tablets in functionality and offerings but more interactive and striking than a regular frame, digital frames are perennially giftable. What easier way to display photographs, including new ones sent digitally by friends and family? The Aura Carver 10.1" Wi-Fi Digital Picture Frame is a great choice, though not without flaws.

Powered by an AC adapter and proprietary cable, the frame is designed to be positioned in landscape orientation only, with the ability to display portrait images in pairs, side by side. The frame can also display videos but with some caveats.

The screen is not a touchscreen (not that you'd want to be smudging it up with your fingers), but the frame has a touch strip along the top edge that you can use to swipe through photos and interact when necessary.

I ran into my first two hurdles of the Carver unit right out of the box: its color and cord. The frame itself is an impressive and robust unit. It feels stable, sturdy, and professional. The Gravel (black) coloring, however, can scratch onto white surfaces. A white shelf or table, for example, may feature black scuff marks courtesy of the Carver when you set it up. The Carver also comes in Sea Salt (white), but if you'd prefer the black, the scuffs are nothing that a Magic Eraser or some caution can't solve.

The Carver uses a unique power cord instead of a more standard variety like USB-C or Micro USB, and the unit also needs to be plugged in to run. Because you can't retract the cord or swap it out for a shorter or longer one, some cleverness may be required to keep your frame area neat and tidy.

One of my mounted photograph prints watched jealously over my shoulder as I set up the entire Aura Carver digital frame in approximately 90 seconds, coming in under the two-minute estimate on the Aura website. This included downloading the app, linking the frame to my phone, and selecting photos to send over. You can spare your recipient part of this setup with Aura's gift mode, which allows you to pre-load some content and even a message that will display when they boot it up.

The Carver frame defaults to slideshow mode, and you can select the length of time between each photo and video. Because the default is 10 minutes, I didn't realize slideshow mode was on in the first place. It can be configured to switch photos as quickly as a matter of seconds or up to 24 hours, depending on how quickly you want new photos to appear. Photographs look vibrant on the screen, and it's a joy to revisit pictures I would have otherwise forgotten.

While landscape photos fit the frame's aspect ratio, vertical photos do not and can be displayed side by side using Photo Pairing mode. As Aura explained to me for this review, photos are paired by the time when in Chronological Photo order, whereas, in Shuffle Photo Order, the photos are paired in a rough attempt by Aura's app to match the subject and location. You can also set a background for single vertical photos, either black or 'filled', which fills the negative space with a zoomed-in, out-of-focus version of the photo itself. When I selected 'filled', the treatment was not consistent for all of my shots, and some reverted to a black background.

Videos have a hurdle of their own. When a video comes up on the unit, a 'Loading' progress bar appears on the screen with a 'Tap Touch Bar For Sound' at the top. The video is sometimes choppy upon playback and returns to a thumbnail at the end. It's functional but not particularly slick, so the Carver is best suited for portfolios that are heavy on still photos and light on videos.

To interact with the frame, you'll use a limited-function touchbar along the top of the device. You can 'like' a photo by tapping the top twice (not unlike Instagram), move through photos by swiping left or right, or turn the frame off by holding the touch bar's integrated button down.

The Aura Carver digital frame has an automatic on-and-off function determined by light, not motion detection. When I placed the digital frame into a bathroom with no ambient light, it responded surprisingly when I turned off the lights. With regular sunlight and no additional artificial light, the unit will stay on. In bright conditions, glare is mercifully absent. Overall, the glare was far less noticeable than the MacBook Pro on which this article was written.

While framed prints have a certain reliability and charm no digital screen can touch, the Aura Carver's utility and ease of use make it a great supplement to surface forgotten memories and add a bit of variety to any part of the home (that's sufficiently close to an outlet).

The Aura Carver's easy setup, simple app and handy gift mode make it a great present for anyone who appreciates revisiting their memories but isn't necessarily technologically or photographically inclined.

I find it interesting that a number of comments here suggest how easy and better it would be to repurpose a tablet instead. I did not see that any of those people had actually managed to do so in a decent looking frame and successfully had relatives remotely sharing photos. That is certainly possible, but not pretty or straight forward. I have a few older tablets I have considered reusing, but have yet to find a simple and reliable solution even as a basic, non-connected frame. A better solution would likely be a Raspberry Pi and a display. This is about like those lifted VW Beetles with 4WD and an LS1 engine; it works if you tinker with it everyday, or you could buy a Subaru.

I bought one for my father and our extended family this past week. Very easy to setup. Like the reviewer it took less than 2 minutes. I actually used the 'gift mode' to preload about 25 images into the frame account before presenting it. Once we setup the frame at his house the pictures started to display within a minute. The screen is more than acceptable for its intended purpose; getting your scrapbook photos out of the closet and into the light. The review shortchanges the integration with the app. It is the very well done. You can actually use the app to take and crop photos on the fly. I used this while we were sorting thru several plastic bins filled with prints. As soon as you hit 'done', the picture is on the display. The app's only real shortcoming is that it only finds photos in your default camera folder (at least on Android). However, you can e-mail pictures to the frame account or just drag and drop them into a web browser.

I share my photos with family & friends via Amazon Photos. I can create albums and send links that can enable downloads or only view. The link can be streamed from a cellphone (iPhone) to a TV to watch a slide show the size of your TV, or on a tablet or computer. The photos if saved by friends or family allow them to print photos they like.

No local memory, no SD-card slot, no USB port to connect external drives or USB sticks.

And then it doesn't even have a battery.

Oh and by the way: battery and a cord don't exclude each other. Sometimes there are situations when you just need to hand this frame over to grandparents or friends so they can closely inspect some old photos and revive fond memories. That's when a battery mode would be more than welcome. But apparently you cannot, so the whole family needs to walk around a power outlet in order to see a picture.

And having to upload private images to a cloud where your pictures are potentially being used to train AI machines or being sold to data traffickers - no thanks.

It's OK to have a cloud service when you want it, but it's not OK to preclude local memory copy/paste or USB drives for all places where you don't have a good internet connection. Q 2

I would think if the whole family wants to gather around, you wouldn't opt for a tablet nor a frame, but something really made to be seen by a few people at a time, eg a TV... Sometimes a frame is just a frame, and sometimes purpose built devices are useful and there's a market for them, that doesn't change that a tablet may well be a better value for a lot of people, both things can be true.

My mother (70-something) is pretty happy with the Aura frame my sister gave her despite being better versed in tech than most seniors and having a Surface Pro and even a Google Nest Home already. None of them make each other redundant tbh...

This is an AMAZING gift that any child should give to their parents, etc. SUPER easy to use and the quality is great. The ability to easily share your life with selected people is great. I got one for my 80 year old parents and now the grandkids, etc. all share photos anytime and it''s a welcome surprise to see what comes in next.

I see it has a huge bezel in comparison to a typical tablet

Definitely more photo framish. Other than that not sure what benefit. Benefits of a tablet would be higher possible resolution, standard charging cable, easy to use Google photos albums, battery backup so can pass around. Can do other things with it. Perhaps though the charm of the photo frame is its singular purpose.

If this frame is for serious photographers I think it should accept photos from computers, PC and MAC via WiFi. I just bought an brand of frame and was way disappointed that I have to use an SD card to images from my PC. A smartphone app might make controlling it nice but it sucks if that is the only method of adding new photos.

This is much nicer than a tablet. The build quality, touch buttons on the top, no built-in battery, nicely hidden power supply, beautiful frame, etc

This works as a furniture accessory, decoration. A tablet with a stand is ugly. ff782bc1db
