If you’re looking for a frame that is super-fast to set up, looks sleek and allows other people to remotely add photos, the Aura Carver does all the above. You can’t use it in portrait mode like you can with the more premium models but it has a clever feature that means you can still add portrait photos. Digital photo frames make a great alternative to more traditional picture frames and you'll never have to choose just one image to use.
