Hit the New Playlist option and then select Google Photos. Since I use the Google Photos app to automatically sync my iPhone photos to my account, that means it’s effectively the same as having a feed from my iCloud photos. There is support for automatically uploading the frame with photos from your Google Photos account. You do, however, get an indicator on the frame itself.

Another UI frustration is that there is no automatic progress indicator in the app, just a message reading “Content uploading… ” If you exit the album in the app, and come back into it, then you can see the photos that have uploaded so far, together with a photo count, but this doesn’t update unless you exit and re-enter. Once you’ve done this, the photos upload to the frame. Second, you are limited to 100 photos per album. First, you can’t just select entire Photos app albums in one go: You have to re-create them in the Nixplay app. There are, however, two frustrations here. Once you’ve allowed the app access, you can create albums.

The frame automatically adjusts to portrait or landscape positioning, and uses YouTube-style “frosted” color-matched edges for anything that doesn’t fill the full width of the frame.

I personally found the quality perfectly acceptable at normal photo-frame viewing distances. It’s obviously not the latest tech in terms of either resolution or display type, but it is typical for photo frames, and IPS LCD is the same that Apple uses for its non-OLED iPhones. The display is a 1920×1080 IPS LCD display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. A third option is to attach it to a VESA 75 mount - the wall mount is compatible. There’s an included stand for desk/table mounting, and there’s a hidden wall-mounting frame behind a slide-off panel. One is for the included remote control, the other is a motion sensor, automatically starting the slideshow when it senses people approaching it. It’s a matt finish, and very unobtrusive, so it wouldn’t look out of place in most decors.Īt the bottom-left-hand corner are two sensor windows that are slightly more obtrusive than I’d wish. There is, for example, a wood-effect one in the 10.1-inch, but if you want the 15.6-inch version, then you can have it in any color and material you like as long as it’s black plastic. There are different finishes available in different sizes. The frame is available in four different sizes, at prices ranging from $140.40 to $279.99.

You can also link it to Dropbox, Facebook, or Instagram using the web interface. It’s smart because it can be updated in a bunch of different ways: manually, with the smartphone app by voice, with Alexa or Google Assistant and automatically, by linking it to Google Photos… The Nixplay Smart Photo Frame is the latest and smartest digital photo frame from the company that claims to be the most popular brand in the US, with over 2 million units sold.
