It’s big – hence our calling it the “granddaddy” – but interestingly the resolution isn’t as impressive as some of the others on this roundup. You can mount it on the wall in either portrait or landscape orientations, or have it in a stand (sold separately). And we have fallen hook, line and sinker for it. The granddaddy of photo frames, this is actually so much more than that. The frame will auto rotate any photos that are in the other orientation. As you can have this portrait or landscape, it’s a good flexible choice. The app also lets you add captions to your photos, displays the time and weather in the corner too.

You can even issue friends and family with a code, which lets them upload photos remotely too (if they download the app). If you’re a real stickler for sharp images and feel your image quality is of paramount importance, you might find this compression affects your photos but hand on heart, we didn’t notice (and we consider ourselves quite fussy). Uploading images is done via an app, which compresses your photos and then, as we understand it, diverts them back to your 8GB local memory. The screen is touchscreen, and it guides you through set up, which was complete in a matter of minutes, and then we were good to go on an uploading frenzy. It brought our pictures to life beautifully, and everything looked pin sharp in the display. We were impressed by the resolution on this mid-priced frame. But we’d also give some thought to energy – some frames can run on timers, or activate when it senses people close by, and some will switch off when it senses no light to save electricity. A backlit screen will also help with that.

This should help your photos stand out even in a dark room. Resolution basically tells you how sharp an image is going to be. Other than that, look for a high-resolution screen, and decent screen size. There are pros and cons to both, of course so you’ll need to figure out which method is best for you. Some frames store photos locally – you plug in a USB stick, say – while others will store your photos on a cloud – meaning you upload photos via an app. For a start, you might want to think about data storage. And then when they’re not actively being used, they display your photo selection like a regular frame.Īside from aesthetics though, there’s much to consider when buying a digital photo frame. There’s Amazon’s Echo Show range, and Google’s Hubs, which are voice assistants, entertainment systems and smart-home devices too. Some digital photo frames provide even more functionality. These devices display your photo in a screen, which looks like a photo frame, and can flick through chosen images slowly – meaning you get to display hundreds if not thousands of your favourite photos. But there is another, fuss-free way to display them, and it’s in the form of a digital photo frame. Up to 89 per cent of millennials said they print their photos. Well, maybe not the screengrabs of recipes and never-ending selfies, but good photos? We want them in pride of place in our home.

Across the world people take around 2.3 billion photos daily and we are still keen on displaying them for prosperity.
