Full Review
The Skylight 15-inch frame takes everything good about the 10-inch model and makes it bigger. The 15-inch Full HD touchscreen is bright and easy to see from across the room.
Like the smaller Skylight, you can send photos by email. This makes it ideal for families where some members are not comfortable with apps. Anyone with an email address can send photos to the frame.
The touchscreen works just as well at this size. Swipe through photos, tap the heart button, and browse your collection with simple gestures. For older users, the large touch targets are easier to hit than on a smaller screen.
Wall mounting is built in. The frame has mounting hardware included, plus a kickstand for desk use. At 15 inches, it looks great on a wall in a living room or hallway.
Full HD resolution at 1920 by 1080 means photos look sharp. The screen is not as vivid as the Aura Walden, but the difference is small. Most people will be happy with how their photos look.
The Skylight Plus subscription at $39 per year adds Google Photos sync, Alexa control, and video playback. Without it, you are limited to emailed photos and the basic app. This ongoing cost is worth considering.
At $250, this is a premium price for a frame aimed at simplicity. But if you are buying for someone who struggles with technology, the big touchscreen and email feature justify the cost.
Our Verdict
A large, touch-friendly frame for families who want easy photo sharing. The email feature makes it the best large frame for non-tech-savvy users.
