    Nixplay Smart Photo Frame – Smart 15.6-inch Digital Photo Frame w/ Wi-Fi

    This next gadget is perfect for any tech-enthusiast that’s deeply connected to their family. That said, if you’re looking to ditch those old-fashion picture frames so that you can finally open up some space at your countertops, then consider doing a Smart Home upgrade with the Nixplay Smart Photo Frame.

    The Nixplay Smart Photo Frame is a smart 15.6-inch digital photo frame that features a Full HD 1080p display screen, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of Storage Capacity, as well as In-App controls and compatibility with both Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant.

    Supporting both pictures and videos, this smart digital photo frame would make a great addition to any Smart Home.

    Not only that, but by using it together with its proprietary Smartphone Companion App (called the Nixplay App), you can quickly and easily connect the frame directly to many different platforms, including Google Photos, Dropbox, Facebook and Instagram, and as such, you’ll be able to display any of your uploaded pictures on any of those platforms.

    Now, without any further ado, let’s have a more detailed look at this awesome smart digital photo frame and check out its design, and see everything that it has to offer you.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    Starting with the frame’s size, this smart digital photo frame features a very compact and super-sleek design, measuring just 9.96 inches wide by 15.91 inches tall by just 1.18 inches thick (253 x 404 x 30 mm), and weighing only a measly 2.56 lbs. (1160 g).

    Thanks to its compact size, you’re able to set it up just about anywhere within your countertops, all while its gorgeous, yet ultra-minimalist design allows it to blend in with pretty much any choice of home decor that you’re currently going with.

    Now, onto the frame’s main component. Smoothly integrated into the frame, we have its Full HD IPS display screen, which boasts a 1920×1080 resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a brightness level of 300 cd/m2.

    The frame’s display screen also features an Auto Adjust functionality, which ultimately allows users to set up this digital photo frame in either a Portrait or Landscape orientation, meaning that you can have it set up however you prefer. Furthermore, if you prefer, you can also have this digital photo frame wall mounted.

    Not only that, but this smart digital photo frame also combines a built-in Hu-Motion Sensor with a built-in Infrared Sensor (and there’s also a G-Sensor) that accurately work together within an active range of  8.20 ft. (2.5 m).

    Basically, these sensors allow the frame to detect any surrounding activity, thus making it able to automatically turn itself On/Off (and this ultimately allows you to save some money on your power-costs / energy-costs).

    Now, as mentioned before, this smart digital photo frame is capable of displaying both photos, as well as high-quality videos. Speaking about having the frame displaying photos, it’s worth to mention that JPEG/JPG is the frame’s supported Photo Format, so keep that in mind when saving up your photo-files.

    As mentioned before, this frame features 1GB of RAM and exactly 16GB of Storage Capacity, so you also have quite a bit of space to store all of your digital photos and video-files.

    Additionally, for any time that the photo frame is displaying a video, the Nixplay Smart Photo Frame is also capable of playing that video’s corresponding audio file, and that’s all thanks to its set of two (x2) 2W Speakers.

    Lastly, right at the back of the unit, we also have its dedicated Power Cable, which is very well constructed and also easily malleable, working not only as its power source (obviously), but also working really well as the frame’s dedicated stand (sort of like a kickstand, but without the physical presence of one), and that’s basically thanks to its cable’s built-in rubberized part, which can be easily found integrated along its Power Cable.

    All of the frame’s operations run extremely smoothly on the company’s NixplayOS 7 Operative System.

    CONNECTIVITY

    Now, since this smart digital photo frame can be controlled with your devices via its the Nixplay App, it also features Wi-Fi Connectivity (supporting the most common standards – 802.11 b/g/n).

    THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The Nixplay App

    As mentioned before, you can use the frame together with its Smartphone Companion App (called the Nixplay App), which is available to download for free for both iOS and Android devices.

    Via the App, you can quickly and very easily connect the frame directly to many different platforms, including Google Photos, as well as Dropbox, Facebook and even Instagram. Then, right after connecting your Nixplay Smart Photo Frame to your chosen platform, you can have the frame displaying any of your uploaded pictures on that same platform.

    By using the App, you can also conveniently create your own playlists for photos and videos, just so you can easily have the frame displaying your favorite moments by any specific order.

    Lastly, the App also allows you to configure the frame’s several Picture and Video Display Settings, as well as to receive and send photos between friends and family that you can then respectively have displayed in your frame or in theirs.

    OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES

    Voice Assistant Support

    As mentioned earlier, this smart digital photo frame also works with both Amazon Alexa as well as with the Google Assistant, which basically means that you can use it together with your favorite Voice Assistant to have it displaying any photo or video playlists that you want by using simple Voice Commands.

    WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

    The Nixplay Smart Photo Frame comes neatly packed inside a sturdy cardboard box that comes together with a second covering layer that’s supposed to be slid away from the main package.

    Inside each package, users will find: their Nixplay Smart Photo Frame (15.6-inch frame), the frame’s dedicated Wall Adaptor with US plug, an included set of Wall Mounting Screws and Wall Mount Guide (for those looking to wall-mount the frame), an included Infrared Remote (used to control the frame’s On/Off functions as well as its displaying functions, to skip between photos and videos, and to regulate the frame’s overall Audio Volume), and the frame’s Quick Start Guide.
