I have previously reviewed the Aura Frames Mason Luxe, Aura Carver, and Aeezo Frameo. Both Aura Frames were given to family members who love them, while I kept the cheaper Aeezo frame. The Aeezo frame, though budget-friendly, has a noticeable digital appearance due to its bright backlight and glossy screen.
