Aura Mason Luxe

£250/$350 https://auraframes.co.uk

Aura makes some of the most stylish digital photo frames around. The Mason Luxe comes in two colours, pebble and sandstone, both of which have a speckled effect. The Mason frames is perfect for giving as a gift as you can add pictures to it without having to open the packaging – especially handy if you are giving it to someone less tech-savvy. All you need to do is scan a QR code on the box and use an app on your phone to choose which pictures you want it to display. It also includes a feature so that you can also email photos to it. The new and improved Mason Luxe is also able to play videos with sound, thanks to its built-in speaker. Its 2K resolution means that both photos and video will be displayed in high quality and the screen is slightly larger than the standard Mason frame. You can adjust the slide show speed so that images change as fast or slow as you want or, alternatively, you can manually flick through images using the interactive touch bar. This is a great frame if you can’t decide whether you want it for portrait or landscapes pictures because it can display both! It’s not the cheapest digital frame, but we certainly think it’s one of the best looking.
