However, find one you like and stick to it, and everything calms down. Set to randomly switch between these, the photo frame can devolve into a Powerpoint presentation nightmare. There are 11 of them, including sillier effects like 'pixelate'. We were also not initially fans of the Nixplay Touch 10 ’s animated transitions. You can’t select particular images to display in the Nixplay app either. There’s no way to see thumbnails from the current playlist to select a particular image, as the on-screen “Go to Gallery” shortcut simply bumps you back to the standard scrolling feed of images. The frame is available in four different sizes, at prices ranging from 140.40 to 279.99. It’s often slow to respond, lethargic, and that gets frustrating. You can also make the frame display the time, which is handy.Īll the smart elements are here, but operating the Nixplay Touch 10 on its own is clunky. While Nixplay frames do have good quality displays, theyre not very easy to use particularly for families and elderly users. We hooked it up to Google Home and were able to turn the frame off with a voice command sent through a phone. The Nixplay Touch 10 also supports Alexa and Google Assistant. This is where the playlist concept really opens up – siloing people as you might do with WhatsApp groups. It’s not super-sturdy, and does not need to be when the total weight of the photo frame is not high.ĭifferent people can be added to these playlists too, giving them access to that selection of photos and letting them add more. Nixplay lets loose style-wise much more on the back, using a heavily embossed pattern – but who cares when you’ll barely ever see it? The Nixplay Touch 10 has a little slot-in plastic stand. All of this is plastic, but that lowers the weight. Our sample has a black outer, with a pleasant warm-toned white section between the frame and the display. We wish it hadn’t, but the Touch 10 otherwise looks great. We say 'almost' because, like so many tech companies, Nixplay felt the need to insert itself into the picture a little too much with a golden 'Nixplay' logo section on the top. The Nixplay Touch 10 could almost pass for a normal photo frame. I reviewed Nixplay’s 9.7in model, which has now been renamed the 2K Ultra and is no longer a part of Nixplay’s Smart Frames range. Still, if this isn't an issue for you and you like the Touch 10's traditional design and 'activity sensor' for automatically entering sleep mode, it's worth considering – and earns a place on our guide to the best digital photo frames. Will you actually notice? Not in casual use, but it becomes more apparent when you actually look at the images properly. You might think limited resolution calls for sharpening, but it actually draws attention to the limited number of pixels, causing distracting aliasing in objects like skyscraper outlines and power lines. Its presentation appears too sharp for the Nixplay’s lowly 800p resolution.

And the frame’s handling of images is not that great.

We like having the option, but the default setting is cheesy.
