Nixplay Iris Review
Long gone are the day when to see your photos you had to print them out.
These days more or less all of us take our photos digitally. Be it on our phones or a camera.
The downside of this is many of just don’t display them. We either just share them with friends and family on social media.
I was having a conversation with my Mum the other day. These days we look back on early photos to see glimpses of the past. But what will the future look back on for our times? How many photos will be lost to time, somewhere out there on the internet but locked behind passwords?
Anyway enough of thinking of the future, how can you display those loved photos right in the here and now?
Nixplay Iris.
So what can you do with all those digital photos?
Well, how about sharing them via the Nixplay Iris.
This clever wifi digital photo frame will help you share all your photos, new and old in your home.
Using the Nixplay App you can set your frame up to share any photos you wish. You can even set them up into different play folders if you wish to share different photos at different times.
While of course, you can directly upload photos from your phone, computer and social media. You can also give family and friends access to share photos directly with your frame, or opt not to have them sent and allow yourself the choice to view and sort before sending them other.
This makes it a great way for the family to share with elder members, as they can have complete control while the receiver just sits back and watches new photos come in.
The NixPlay Cloud comes free to all with 10GB of storage and the ability to connect up to 5 frames. Or if you need more storage monthly plans are available.
Nixplay Iris Design.
The Nixplay Iris comes in a choice of colours, peach cooper (as seen in this post), silver and burnished bronze and plays photos on a 4:3 high-resolution IPS display.
It comes in at 8 inches in size and the power cable acts as a stand, meaning you can place the frame where ever you wish around the home.
What’s more the Nixplay Iris powers on when it notices noise in the room and powers off again when the room goes quiet, while it also adjusts its display to the brightness in the room.
If you are looking for a way to play videos as well as show photos, then you may be glad to hear that you can send these to your Nixplay cloud and your frame will play them with sound.
It also comes complete with a controller in case you want to control what is playing yourself.
What we Think of the Nixplay Iris.
I think we all thought that the Nixplay Iris was a great idea. It is fantastic that you can send photos directly to the frame.
What’s more, the fact that you can share with friends and family is fantastic. I think it would be wonderful to see new pictures of loved ones popping up from time to time.
I love the silk colour to the frame, it looks very modern and sophisticated. While photos look stunning on the screen and I love the fact you can rotate the frame to portrait or landscape.
My only niggle was I personally found it hard to stand up. The cord cable is a great idea in theory but with the fact I am so clumsy and my shakes I found it hard to work with in practice.
If you fancy getting your hands on a Nixplay Iris for yourself, then you can buy it now over at their website or Amazon with prices for the Iris starting at £169.99, however if you buy before the 8th of April the code: UKBLOGGERS20 will get your 20% off your purchase of the Nixplay Iris or Seed (except Seed Wood, Ultra and Wave) from their website.
What do you think of the sound of the Nixplay Iris, could you see yourself using one to show off your photos?

This would make such a great gift idea. I love the idea of it.
It is fab isn’t it – I love how far they have come of late as well. The pictures on the look amazing.
This would make it a lot easier to share photos with people who don’t have smartphones, like my mom. I think she would love something like this!
I think it is such a lovely idea to give to older members of the family and then you can just update it and all they do is watch.
A digital frame is such a great idea! I love that it’s paperless, and that you can keep updating the photos!

Most definitely and you can do it all from your phone on the go even!
This looks like a pretty amazing purchase, I have to look into getting this for my home.
It really is a fantastic piece of kit! Amazing how many photos it holds.
I would love one of these for my 100s of photos! Admittedly most of these are of my pets 🙂
Haha so are most of mine to be honest whoops!
I will check it out right away, i love it! Most of my pictures are kept in a hard drive and don’t get so see them often. This looks like an amazing gadget to have.
It is such a shame that so many of do, do that with our photos isn’t it.
Looks like a cool item. I’ve been thinking about buying one for a while actually.
I definitely suggest getting one it is so nice to use.
This frame is so cool! I had something similar in my room with so many photos on it!
It is so nice to just get to relive those different memories!
I love this, what a great way to display photos. I have sooooo many! It is lovely that you can share them too. Kaz
I think that is perhaps my favourite feature as it means family far and wide can send you photos.
I love that it powers off when the room is quiet. That is great for saving energy.
It is so clever isn’t it! I was really impressed by that feature of it.
this is such a cool idea!! i love that you can load your photos right on there. I def need to get one for my mom.
It is wonderful and it’s so simple to add photos – only takes a matter of minutes.
Oooh, I need something like this. I like all the features it has. It would make a great conversation piece.
It is great isn’t it – you can use it to really show off all your favourite pictures.
This is exactly why I print out my photos still! I fear most of our children will have no photographs to recall the past – one of my favorite and most heartwarming activities when I was young. Thanks for sharing!
It is sad isn’t it – I love this idea though and look forward to showing my photos off again.
I need to get a new photo frame like this. I like being able to see multiple pictures throughout the day.
It is really nice you can set it to change quickly or slowly though.
I have just received one of these too review, but haven’t taken it out of the box yet. It sounds really amazing, I must set mine up tomorrow.
Good luck with getting yours all set up to review 🙂
What a fantastic idea. My mom was wondering the other day how to display her pictures. This is the perfect thing for her.
It is such a great idea of a way to digital photos seem in the home.
I had a product like this few years back but I accidentally broke it. I am glad to see a product like that again. Thanks for sharing.
Oh no what a shame – at least you know where you can get a replacement now 🙂
What a great idea. I was just telling my kids that I hate that all my pics are just sitting on my phone…
It is such a shame it happens to all of us doesn’t it.
This sounds like a really good idea. I love that you can share all your photos on the frame and with family members.
It is fab isn’t it – I love that a photo could just pop up from anyone.
I have a friend who has one of these digital photo frames. It is interesting and fun to watch as the photos go through.
It is so fun, you never quite know what will come up next either.
Gone are the days when you would find a box of old photos! I love this idea, I think displayed photos are awesome.
It is a shame in many ways isn’t it – you had to have the printed out before, now they just don’t get done.
Oh cool, I need this. I’ve been tempted to get a digital photo frame since I have so many photos. Eventually I do print them out, but it a takes a while.
It is so worth getting they have come such a long way as well, the photos look so detailed on them now.
im always looking for something like this to display all my photos instead of printing out a few at a time- what a great product i may need to get for myself and family members!
It is so good – I love that it can play video with sound as well 🙂
I have SO many digital photos ‘lying around’ on my computer, this would be a great way of getting them out on display.
It is perfect and it is so simple to send them over as well.
What an interesting product. Before there were glowing frames, now this. excited for the future!
It is fun to see how things grow and change isn’t it.
