Is the Aluratek 9\u201d digital photo frame worth buying?<\/h2>

The Aluratek 9\u201d digital photo frame is one of Aluratek\u2019s least popular digital frame sizes. They have several 7\u201d, 8\u201d, and 10\u201d frames with standard finished, distressed wood frames, and more. Aluratek only sells one 9\u201d digital frame. It\u2019s a non-Wi-Fi frame with 16GB of internal storage and USB\/SD card support.We don\u2019t usually recommend buying a non-Wi-Fi digital photo frame<\/a> as they are very limiting for families. The only way to share pictures with them is in-person via USB or SD card. You have to load the photos to the frame\u2019s internal storage to view them in slideshows.Aluratek\u2019s 9\u201d digital photo frame uses a 4:3 aspect ratio and has a 1024×768 display resolution. This is enough to avoid pixelation and offers a decent viewing experience. This resolution is similar to many popular digital frames such as the Pix-Star, offering good value for money.At just under $100, Aluratek\u2019s 9\u201d digital photo frame is expensive for a non-Wi-Fi frame. You can\u2019t share photos from your phone or wirelessly from your social media. There is no way to remotely control the frame via a mobile app or web interface. You can\u2019t send photos by email either.When you consider that competing frames such as Pix-Star\u2019s 10-inch frames offer all of the above features and don\u2019t cost much more, it\u2019s hard to justify Aluratek\u2019s price. Pix-Star offers free-for-life cloud storage, social media photo album imports, remote configuration support to control your frames from anywhere, multi-frame control groups, a mobile app and web interface, and much more.The Aluratek 9\u201d digital photo frame isn\u2019t a bad frame by any measure. Its main issue is the lack of Wi-Fi and cloud functionality and limited feature set \u2013 especially for a ~$100 digital frame. We recommend getting a Wi-Fi & cloud-capable digital frame that isn\u2019t limited to sharing photos with only a USB\/SD card.P.S. Pix-Star also offers USB\/SD card support without limits \u2013 and has a plug & play feature that lets you play slideshows without copying the photos to the frame\u2019s internal storage first.<\/p> <\/div>
