Aura has introduced a new smaller, cheaper, and sharper color E Ink photo frame called Aura Ink 10. The 10-inch frame features a higher pixel density, a black frame and mat board, and improved color reproduction using E Ink's Spectra 6 technology. It is available in the US for $349, $150 less than the original 13-inch model priced at $499.
The new Aura Ink 10 aims to make color E Ink displays more accessible and offers a rechargeable battery for wall hanging without a power cord. The frame uses Aura's proprietary dithering algorithm and custom base colors for improved color accuracy and detail. However, the color reproduction still falls short compared to LCD displays, which can produce millions of colors.
Despite this, the Aura Ink 10 provides a printed photo-like appearance and automatic lighting adjustments. It can be refreshed manually or automatically up to 12 times per day through the company's mobile app and supports various photo sharing platforms.
