Digital photo frames are a popular gift idea, and it’s little wonder, especially for the festive season and family get togethers. But I’m here to propose an alternative to a dedicated digital photo frame: the Echo Show 15 smart display, which is currently discounted at$204.99 at Amazon in the USand£209.99 at Argos in the UK.
Ourbest digital photo framesguide explains how to choose the best digital photo frame for you. In this guide, the majority of the leading models pack a 10-inch display inside a slick mount and frame, with a notable exception being the Echo Show 15. It takes on a similar form to these frames, only it’s much bigger at 15.6 inches, plus you’ve also got its smart display features to enjoy.
For Prime members,Amazon Photosprovides free unlimited photo storage and up to 5GB of videos, plus paid plans if you need more storage than that, or up to 5GB of photos for any Amazon customer. You can then easily display those photos and favorite memories on an Echo Show 15 using its Alexa voice assistant functionality. How about,“Hey Alexa, show me photos from our summer holiday last year.“This truly is a smart digital photo frame experience.

Other smart displays include theMeta Portal Plusand theGoogle Nest Hub Max, but the Echo Show 15 is the largest smart displaywithframe, and since its release (and our initialfour-star review), it has benefitted from a number of software updates that make it even more versatile, including the addition of Fire TV that unlocks access to all of your favoritestreaming services.
As well as Fire TV, you can set up customizable widgets on the Echo Show 15 to keep your home organized, use a litany of Alexa skills, and yes, enjoy your family photos on its large 15.6-inch display with Full HD resolution.

More recently, Amazon launched its most capable smart display yet – theEcho Show 10– that boasts next-gen audio quality and video call chops, but the Echo Show 15 display is 50% larger and is the one to pick for enjoying your photos the way they were meant to be, in a plush-looking frame.
