A round chrome-silver mirror that turns into a Frameo photo frame: a 10.1-inch IPS touch screen behind the glass, 32GB inside, weather on the slideshow and set hours to switch itself on and off.
ThankVip's frame spends part of each day pretending to be something else. Switched off, it is a round mirror in chrome silver, about 11.4 inches across, at home on a dressing table or in a hallway. Switched on, the glass lights up with a 10.1-inch Frameo slideshow of the family.
That double life is its main appeal. A black rectangle on a bedroom shelf can look like a spare tablet; a round mirror reads as decor, and the photos arrive as a surprise when the screen wakes.
Inside the round case:
ThankVip names the model K106. The frame weighs about 1.2 pounds, light enough for a small hook on the wall above a chest of drawers.
Mirror glass shows fingerprints, as any mirror does. Since the screen is touch-controlled, a soft-cloth polish every few days keeps both the reflection and the photos looking their best.
For a mother who cherishes her dressing table, it is an easy gift to place: it earns its spot as a mirror in the morning and as a family album by evening.

ThankVip is clear that its frame uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Most home routers broadcast a 2.4GHz network alongside a 5GHz one, and the frame needs the 2.4GHz name. Once connected, the family invites relatives through the free Frameo app on Android or iOS, and photos start arriving.
A setup that avoids the common stumble:
If the router only shows one name, it is likely combining both bands. Many routers let the owner split them in the settings, and Frameo Wi-Fi fixes explain how.
Wi-Fi is not the only way in. ThankVip notes that the frame can play photos directly from a microSD card at any time, so a grandparent without internet can still enjoy a full slideshow:
New photos from the app need the internet, but everything already on the frame keeps playing when the router is off. The memory card help covers formatting the card on Windows or Mac.
A card is also a handy way to deliver a gift. Load it with a year of family photos, tuck it inside the box, and the mirror has something to show from the very first evening, even before anyone has typed in a Wi-Fi password.
ThankVip adds a couple of touches that make the frame part of the morning routine. The weather and temperature appear during the slideshow, so a glance at the mirror before going out doubles as a forecast. Brightness can be turned up or down, and the frame can switch itself on and off on a schedule.
The timetable suits a bedroom especially well:
| Time of day | What the frame does |
|---|---|
| Early morning | Switches on, showing photos and the day's weather |
| Daytime | Plays the slideshow at the chosen brightness |
| Night | Switches off and becomes a mirror again |
Setting the hours once saves energy and keeps the room dark for sleep. It also means the grandparent never has to find a power button.
Photos and clips arrive from the family through the Frameo app. Clips stop at 15 seconds, and relatives can add a caption so the picture tells its own story.
ThankVip backs the frame with one year of warranty and lifetime technical support. It also describes a 300-hour machine ageing test for every frame before it leaves the factory.
Albums help when the frame lives in a bedroom. Grandma can keep a quiet album of her late husband for the evening and a busier one of the grandchildren for the morning, and pick the one that suits her mood.
Small checks for a smooth first week:
The setup guide for Grandma's frame walks through naming, language and bedtime hours.
Mirror-finish Frameo frames are rare, and the ThankVip's main rival is the Forc 3-in-1. Both show photos from the Frameo app on a 10.1-inch screen and turn into a mirror when off. The difference is shape and purpose: ThankVip is round and decorative, Forc adds a synced family calendar.
| Frame | Shape | Storage | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|
| ThankVip K106 | Round, chrome silver | 32GB | Weather, on/off timetable, card slideshows |
| Forc 3-in-1 | Mirror, silver | 32GB | Calendar synced with iCloud, Google, Outlook, Yahoo |
| AMABOO 10.1-inch | Clear acrylic border | 32GB | USB flash drive import, collage |
| MaxAngel Vintage Gold | Gold frame | 32GB | Calendar, SD card and USB drive |
Choose the ThankVip for a bedroom or dressing table where a round mirror looks right. Choose the Forc for a kitchen or entryway where the family's schedule matters as much as the photos.
AMABOO and MaxAngel's gold frame are the choices for someone who wants a decorative frame without the mirror. Both keep the 10.1-inch size and 32GB, and both add a calendar.
Between the two mirrors, placement often decides. A round mirror looks natural above a dressing table or in a small hallway, where a squarer frame might crowd the space. The Forc's calendar earns its keep in a busier spot, such as the kitchen, where the whole family walks past it before school and work.
Before wrapping:
The Forc 3-in-1 calendar mirror has its own details.
Yes, when the screen is off it works as a round chrome-silver mirror. When on, it shows the Frameo slideshow.
A 2.4GHz network. If the router merges 2.4GHz and 5GHz into one name, the bands may need splitting.
Yes. Insert a microSD card and it plays photos directly from the card. Photos already stored also keep playing offline.
ThankVip's figures disagree: the frame is named as 2K, but its specification lists a lower resolution. The screen is 10.1 inches in a 16:10 shape.
