Available in 10 and 11 inch sizes, the pexar by Lexar is a digital picture frame with Wi-Fi, anti-glare technology and app-based photo sharing. You can finally show off your huge collection of digital photos that are not doing anything else.
With the advent of tablets, larger mobile devices and TVs that are now designed to look like pictures — hello Samsung’s The Frame — it’s easy to forget about digital picture frames. They’re designed, specifically, to show off your huge collection of digital photos you’ve amassed, since now you carry a camera with you everywhere you go. The issue with most digital photo frames, however, is they don’t keep up with the times, like adding onboard WiFi, or app-based photo sharing. The pexar by Lexar changes that. It has both of those features, plus a 2K resolution display so you can see your photos in the vibrant, sharp visuals they deserve.
With 32GB of built-in storage, you can transfer photos directly to the device. If you want more, just plug in an SD card or USB flash drive. Moreover, while the pexar has WiFi, it works just fine offline if you don’t want to connect it — or if your internet goes out. Of course, with that WiFi you can share photos and video from anywhere, through the connected app.
Why would you get a digital picture frame for your home?
The pexar digital photo frame is a great way to show off your photos and videos, which are otherwise just collecting dust on a hard drive or in cloud storage somewhere. Think about it? How often do you sift through them and look at them? If you’re anything like me, probably not often, if at all. The pexar offers a way to display them, continuously, anywhere in your home and in their native formats.
You could use your TV instead, sure. Or, you could use any number of mobile devices or tablets you have around your home. But something like the pexar is designed specifically for sharing beautiful home photos and videos. For starters, it uses the traditional photo frame design with a white bezel around the edges. The anti-glare screen technology means you can see the screen content at any angle with no obfuscation from nearby lighting. That means it looks natural, vibrant, and satisfying. Best of all, you can store the photos and videos right on the device via the built-in storage or an external SD card or flash drive. When you want to move them over, you can either use the smart app and WiFi, or unplug the SD card or flash drive and move them that way.
But as a frame, you can set it on any tabletop or desk, on shelves in a library or study, mount it to the wall, and much more. Like a traditional photo frame, where you place it is entirely up to you. As long as it has power, your pictures will be cycled through and always visible. I count that as a total win.
Who is it for?
Those who actually want to make use of their massive digital photo collections. Whether showing them off at home, in the office, or somewhere else a photo frame would make an excellent fixture. It also makes for a fantastic gift for family and friends.
