It has the same color as the frame and is hardly visible but you feel it right away. On top of the frame there is a small smooth strip. One feature that I haven’t seen anywhere else is the touch bar. The value-add of voice control of a small tabletop picture frame is probably limited, but it’s nice to know that it works if you need it in case of a physical handicap, for example.

Thankfully, the Aura Carver is not a touchscreen and therefore you won’t see annoying fingerprints on the display. The display quality is nothing but outstanding. The screen is 10 inches and has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 px which is top-notch for this size. For us passionate photographers, this is a very important feature. The display has an aspect ratio of 16:10 which is great because this means that there is only little cropping of images taken with your phone camera. What you can also not change is the sequential playback. Maybe in a future update, the Aura engineers will take a look at transition options that Nixplay offers and add a few more, especially crossfading because this kind of transition removes any disturbance by a sudden change of brightness.

The frame will automatically turn dark once the brightness in the room goes under a certain threshold, or you set a schedule.

The frame came in a great white tone (not all whites are the same!) which made me think that this frame would be perfect for wedding photos. Instead, the frame design is balanced and quite deep so that you don’t need one. It’s actually quite heavy which is a good thing because it doesn’t need a stand. The Aura Carver frame is beautifully designed and has a luxurious look and feel. However, the Carver box contained a user manual in English, Spanish, French, and German, so it’s probably only a matter of time until the geographic distribution of Aura frames is being extended.
