Subj : I tested this budget 10.1-inch digital photo frame, and its impre To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Sun Oct 26 2025 10:15:07 I tested this budget 10.1-inch digital photo frame, and its impressively precise for its affordable price Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000 Description: Ive tested loads of digital photo frames and even I was impressed with how this one performed, given its super-low price. FULL STORY ======================================================================Eptusmey 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame: review The Eptusmey 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame is an affordable digital photo frame built on the Uhale platform. At 1280 x 800 pixels, its not the highest resolution photo frame on the market, but its capable of pretty credible sharpness and is far easier to use than other affordable frames Ive tested. Ive used quite a few different digital photo frame apps now, and they vary widely from the full-featured, bespoke marketplace of the Netgear Meural Canvas II to Frameo, the third-party, one-size-fits-all app used by many digital photo frames, including the alternate version of this device. But theres something novel about the Eptusmeys user interface that I find particularly smooth and intuitive. Setting up the frame is straightforward enough. Once youve selected its language and logged in to your Wi-Fi, you can start getting friends and family set up to send photos directly to the frame. Just download the Uhale app, scan the QR code, or enter the displayed code, and youre good to go. Youre then ready to start selecting photos from your phone and firing them over. If youve read many of my reviews of the best digital photo frames , youll know a pet peeve of mine is how some devices handle image orientation, often opting for a universal size that rarely fits every photo well. Instead, the Uhale app and Eptusmey photo frame allow you to scale images to fit and adjust the vertical or horizontal alignment to precisely frame the elements you choose. Being able to adjust this on a per-picture basis on the screen made it far easier to tweak specific images that didnt look right, rather than having to delete and reupload them. (Image credit: Future / Josh Russell) Odd issues did crop up now and then, though. First, despite the fact that I could set the scaling and position of images in the app, this didnt seem to be saved for the uploaded images, meaning Id have to set it again once they were on the frame. I also found that while scrolling through my phones photo library, it was far too easy to accidentally drag and select a bunch of images or, worse, deselect all of the ones Id already picked out. While colors are decent, theyre not quite as vibrant as Ive come to expect from the best digital photo frames. Hues are accurate there arent necessarily any specific missteps in terms of the color profile but the frame pulls its punches when it comes to saturation. Rhododendrons that are a fireworks display of pinks, oranges and yellows even on the relatively conservative screen of my iPhone 16 Pro look more pastel than Id expect, making the overall effect much more subdued. By contrast if youll excuse the pun black and white photography really pops. Capable of both impressive brightness and relatively deep blacks, the Eptusmey shows off monochrome shots with an expansive dynamic range. Whether it was displaying shots of lichen-covered cliffsides in the Scottish Highlands or neo-gothic buildings in Budapest, grayscale photos always looked both bold and bright. (Image credit: Future / Josh Russell) Despite the frames relatively meager 1280 x 800 resolution hitting a pixel density of 149ppi detail is also very decent. Whether its the individual hairs of a bumblebees fuzzy butt or the grains of sand clinging to a frogs back, fine detail is crisply rendered. Unfortunately, though, the Eptusmey fares less well with images shot at shorter focal lengths. The iPhone 16 Pros artificial bokeh occasionally appeared over-sharpened, making those images look much weaker by comparison. Another regrettable blind spot of the Eptusmey is how reflective its glass is. I tested this digital photo frame during a British autumn I can barely remember the last time I even saw the sun, let alone had it shining on this frame. But, even so, this photo frames screen is swamped by reflections of our modestly lit testing space, meaning its not going to be a good choice for anywhere particularly bright or with a lot of furnishings to reflect. Outside of the screen, the Eptusmeys design is similarly mixed. In the plus column, its rear leg is very sturdy and makes switching orientation simple: pop it out and pop it back in rotated at 90 degrees, and youre good to go. It also offers decent aesthetics, with the painted wood frame and modest white mount around the screen looking classy enough for a frame at this price range, and the two color options providing a decent choice to match the frame to your decor. (Image credit: Future) Its not perfect, though, by any stretch. The mount is very plasticky to the touch Ive definitely been spoiled by the beautiful paper-like texture of the Aura Aspen here, though, so I wont hold that too much against it. Perhaps a more significant minus is the fact the paint on the exterior frame has started to wear off in a few places. Picking at the edge of the frame with my thumbnail, I was easily able to replicate this damage, which makes me worry a little about its durability. OK, the Eptusmey 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame definitely isnt flawless: its colors are a little duller than they should be, while the screen shows up way too many reflections even under artificial light. But this needs to be viewed in the context of its price: you can get it for as little as $55.99 / 49.99, putting it right down at the cheapest end of the market. Given the price, its impressive: not only is it surprisingly crisp, it makes it really easy to frame your photos and get them looking their best. Its definitely worth a look if you want to save on a frame.

Cheap though this is, you can actually get it for even less if you shop around, with Amazon UK selling it from just 49.99. Its also available from Amazon in the US for $55.99, although only the version compatible with the third-party Frameo app, which offers a great user experience but is different from that outlined in this review. While the US market is restricted to the Black Oak Wood colorway tested here, those in the UK have more options available. You can pick up the White Oak Wood colorway for 49.99, the Walnut Wood colorway for 59.99 and the Black Oak Wood colorway for 79.99, giving you more options to ensure your frame complements your decor.

Attributes Notes Rating Features 4/5 Design Glass too reflective and wood easily scuffed 3.5/5 Performance 4/5 Value 5/5 Buy it if You want a super affordable digital photo frame Available from as little as $55.99 / 49.99, the Eptusmey 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame is nearly as affordable as our pick for the best budget digital photo frame, Aeezo Portrait 01, yet with a more premium feeling frame. You love a simple user experience Using the Eptusmeys on-screen controls, bespoke app or even the third-party Frameo app with relevant versions makes it straightforward to transfer your shots and even allow your friends and family to do the same. Dont buy it if You love vibrant colors While the Eptusmeys doesnt seem to make major missteps in the way it represents hues, its not quite vivid enough to be true to life, making your snaps feel a little undersaturated. You want to use it in a bright room Theres no anti-reflection coating on the Eptusmeys display, meaning that its not great for bright spaces. Even without much direct light, it mirrors bright objects in the room far too readily.

Its built on the Frameo app like some versions of the Eptusmey, meaning you can trust itll be just as easy to use. We did criticize its build quality in our Aeezo Portrat 01 review, though, with its cheaper frame and stand drawing particular ire. Pexar 11-inch Digital Picture Frame OK, the Pexar 11-inch is a fair bit pricier than the Eptusmey, costing $169.99 / 149. But it also offers a whole load of things the latter doesnt. That includes an impressive reflection-free screen, vibrant hues and one of the best pixel densities Ive ever seen from a digital photo frame at 212-ppi for super crisp images.

How I tested the Eptusmey 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame Tested it over two weeks Uploaded a wide variety of photos Tried it in multiple locations and orientations I tested the Eptusmey 10.1-inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame over a period of several weeks. First, I set it up, then I used the Uhale app to transfer photos Ive taken, making sure to split the balance between brightly colored shots and more subdued detail-focused ones. Next, I used the frame to tweak the cropping and alignment of photos. I then tried using the frame in both horizontal and vertical orientations, as well as moving it to a variety of locations in my home and the TechRadar office to see how it coped with reflections and ambient light conditions. Im an experienced photographer, having taken more than 40,000 shots over the years on my Canon DSLR and iPhone 16 Pro . On top of this, I spent many years working in print publishing, meaning I know how to assess the nuances of how images can differ between the source device and the final product.
