A plain black 10.1-inch Frameo frame for a first-time owner: a 178° IPS touch screen, 32GB, invited senders only, and a slideshow that carries on from memory when the Wi-Fi goes quiet.
Moonka's 10.1-inch Frameo frame does not try to impress with finishes or add-ons. It is a black frame with a 1280x800 IPS touch screen, 32GB inside and the Frameo app, and that plainness is its appeal for someone who has never owned a tablet or smartphone.
Everything the owner touches is on the screen itself:
The panel is a 16:10 IPS screen with a 178° viewing angle, which in practice means the picture holds its colour from almost any seat in the room. A grandfather in his armchair and a visitor standing by the door see the same bright photo.
Moonka's frame shares its ZN-DP1002 model number with Akimart's popular 10.1-inch frame, so the two share a body and screen. What Moonka adds is its own one-year coverage and online support for any question the family runs into.
The frame stands on a desk or hangs on a wall, and photos rotate automatically when it is turned upright or sideways. It weighs about 0.7 kg, light enough for a single picture hook.

Some families send photos from two phones. Others have grandchildren on three continents, godparents, old neighbours and a church friend who all want a place on the frame. Moonka highlights easy management of multiple users, and the Frameo system scales from one sender to many without extra cost.
Adding each new sender follows the same four steps:
The frame owner stays in control. From the frame's settings, any sender can be removed, and any single photo can be hidden from the slideshow without deleting it.
Moonka stresses what the system does not need:
Only invited people can send, so the frame stays private. Nothing is posted publicly, and a stranger cannot drop a picture onto it.
With many senders, photos can pile up quickly. Hiding weaker shots keeps the slideshow feeling like highlights, and the guide to deleting and hiding photos shows how to tidy the album in batches.
For the full picture of sending, including sending to several frames at once, see adding photos to a Frameo frame.
A frame on the kitchen shelf lives through bright mornings, dim evenings and the odd night when the broadband goes down. Moonka's settings cover each of those, and the 32GB of memory means the slideshow never depends on a live connection.
A typical day with the frame:
| Time | What the frame does |
|---|---|
| Morning | Wakes on its own schedule and resumes the slideshow |
| Midday | New photos from the app appear as they are sent |
| Evening | Brightness set lower so the screen is gentle in a dim room |
| Night | Sleep timer turns the screen off to save energy |
When the Wi-Fi drops, stored photos keep playing from the frame's memory. New pictures sent in the meantime simply wait and arrive once the frame reconnects. For a grandparent, the outage often goes unnoticed.
The frame's slideshow timing is adjustable, from a quick change every few seconds to a slow rotation that leaves each photo up for minutes. Slower suits a frame that sits in the owner's eyeline all day.
A few habits help the frame through its day:
Moonka has also added a calendar feature, so the day's appointments can sit alongside the photos, plus greetings for birthdays and holidays.
If the frame stops receiving photos for days, the Frameo troubleshooting guide lists fixes in order, starting with a simple restart.
Moonka builds its Frameo frame in three sizes, which makes it easy to match a room while keeping the same maker. The 10.1-inch model suits a side table or bedside, the 15.6-inch moves to Full HD for a living room, and the 21.5-inch adds dual-band Wi-Fi for a large wall.
| Moonka frame | Screen | Best spot |
|---|---|---|
| 10.1-inch | 1280x800, 32GB | Side table, desk, bedside |
| 15.6-inch | 1920x1080, 32GB | Living-room shelf or sideboard |
| 21.5-inch | 1920x1080, 32GB, dual-band Wi-Fi | A large wall seen from across the room |
At 10.1 inches, the closest rival is Akimart's frame on the same ZN-DP1002 model. Akimart adds a battery-powered white version and describes a microSD slot; Moonka offers a single black frame and stored-photo playback. Both suit a first-time owner.
Choosing a size is mostly about distance. From a chair beside a side table, 10.1 inches shows faces clearly. Across a sofa, three metres away, faces on a 10.1-inch screen start to shrink, and that is where the 15.6-inch Full HD model earns its larger footprint. The 21.5-inch model is for a wall that everyone in the room faces, such as above a sideboard in a dining room.
Staying with one maker has a small benefit for a family buying more than one frame: the menus and support contact are the same on each.
The 10.1-inch Moonka's pre-gift list:
Compare the sizes side by side in Frameo frame sizes.
No. The person with the frame needs no email, cloud account or fees. Relatives send photos through the free Frameo app.
No. It works with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only.
Yes. Photos stored in the frame's 32GB keep playing. New photos arrive once it reconnects.
They share the ZN-DP1002 model number. Akimart offers more versions, including one with a battery, while Moonka sells a single black frame.
