Aura vs Skylight: We tested both digital photo frames for a month — here’s what we learned.
May 2, 2025
Everyone I know loves taking photos with their smartphone but hates scrolling through their camera app to look at any of them. A lot of people I know would rather scroll through their group chat than their camera app — at least in the group chat its photos you decided to share instead of good photos mixed with bad photos mixed with pictures of receipts and random screenshots.
I think digital photo frames are for everyone, not just your grandparents. They make it easy to enjoy your favorite photos without having to scroll through your phone.
Two of the leading digital photo frame brands are Aura Frames and Skylight Frame. We tested both brands for a month — here’s who came out on top.
