A bright white 15.6-inch Frameo frame from Moonka, with a 1920x1080 IPS touch screen, 32GB of memory and the family calendar sharing the screen with the latest photos.
Moonka dresses its 15.6-inch Frameo frame in white, which is the first thing most families notice. On a pale dresser, a cream kitchen wall or a white bookcase, the frame blends into the room rather than a black screen someone forgot to switch off.
Inside that white border sits a 15.6-inch IPS touch screen at 1920 by 1080 pixels. IPS panels keep their colours when seen from the side, and Moonka quotes a 178-degree viewing angle, so the grandchildren still look like themselves to whoever is stirring the soup at the stove.
The main parts of the frame, in short:
Moonka is a long-standing maker of digital frames and electronics, and it builds this frame in three sizes. The 10.1-inch model comes in black for a bedside, and the 21.5-inch model has a brown wooden border for a living-room wall. The white 15.6-inch sits between them, big enough to share, small enough for a counter.

The calendar is the feature that makes this Moonka frame more than a slideshow. Link a calendar through the Frameo app, and upcoming events appear on the screen next to the photos, so the family diary and the family album share the same spot on the wall.
A morning with the frame could look like this:
Everything reaches the frame through the free Frameo app. Each sender puts it on their own iPhone or Android, types the code the frame shows once, and can then send photos and videos of up to 15 seconds from anywhere. There are no email addresses, no cloud accounts and no monthly fees for the basic service.
Phones without an invitation cannot send anything. That keeps strangers and adverts off the screen, and it means the owner decides who joins. The optional Frameo+ plan adds extras such as longer videos, but the frame works fully without it.
The calendar suits a home in which one person keeps the diary for everyone. A daughter who books Grandad's appointments can add them to a shared calendar at her desk, and they appear on the frame at his end without a phone call. Grandad sees the plan every time he glances at the photos, which is a gentler reminder than a note on the fridge.
For more on who can send and how, the guide to adding photos explains friend codes and the QR code.
Moonka is clear that this frame connects on 2.4GHz alone. Most home routers broadcast a 2.4GHz network alongside a faster 5GHz one, so this rarely stops anyone, but it is worth checking before the frame is wrapped.
Run through these checks at their house, or ask over the phone:
Once connected, the frame is happy to go offline for a while. Moonka points out that photos stored in its 32GB keep playing without Wi-Fi, which matters for a holiday cottage or a home where the router gets unplugged to save power. New photos simply queue and arrive when the connection returns.
The sleep timer switches the screen off at night and back on in the morning, and brightness is adjustable for a dim hallway. Both settings sit in the Frameo menu on the touch screen, so there is no remote.
If it refuses to connect, the Wi-Fi troubleshooting guide goes through the fixes in order.
The white 15.6-inch frame covers most homes, but two nearby choices suit particular families. Moonka's own 21.5-inch model and BIGASUO's 15.6-inch frame each trade something for something else.
| Frame | Screen | Wi-Fi | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moonka 15.6-inch | 1920x1080, white | 2.4GHz | Kitchens and light rooms |
| Moonka 21.5-inch | 1920x1080, brown wood | 2.4GHz, 5GHz and Wi-Fi 6 | A living-room wall |
| BIGASUO 15.6-inch | 1920x1080, black | 2.4GHz | 64GB and video with sound |
The 21.5-inch Moonka is the one to choose when the router is 5GHz only, or when the frame will hang above a fireplace and be seen from across the room. The white 15.6 wins when the frame stands on a counter or dresser and has to look light.
BIGASUO's frame is the pick for a family with videos to share. Its 64GB holds twice as much, and its built-in speaker plays clips with sound from a USB stick, including ones far longer than the app's 15-second limit. The Moonka answers with a calendar and a white finish instead, which many kitchens will value more than extra memory.
Moonka's 10.1-inch frame is the third member of the family, in black, for a nightstand or a desk. Sending to two frames at once is easy in the Frameo app, so a pair works well for grandparents who spend evenings in one room and mornings in another.
Before you buy, check these points:
The Frameo size guide shows how 10.1, 15.6 and 21.5 inches compare on a real shelf.
No. Moonka states it uses the 2.4GHz band alone. Most routers offer a 2.4GHz network alongside 5GHz, so it connects in most homes.
Yes. Photos stored in its 32GB keep playing without a connection. New photos arrive once it reconnects.
Yes. Moonka added a calendar feature, so upcoming events can appear on the frame alongside the photos.
No. The Frameo app is free for every sender. Frameo+ is an optional paid plan for extras.
White. Moonka's 21.5-inch model comes in brown wood and its 10.1-inch model in black.
