The 2GB of integrated memory is not overly generous, but fair by photo-frame standards where 1GB is still the common norm. One neat (if somewhat gimmicky) little trick is that turning the collapsible box inside out turns it into ‘gift packaging’, thanks to attractive colour printing on the inside. Samsung bundles the frame with everything you need, including its power adapter, a USB cable for using it as a monitor and the remote. Another minus-point is that its unusual two-part construction prevents the 1000P from being used in portrait orientation, something most photo frames will allow. The frame and base are as solid as they come, but the hinge creaks and doesn’t feel as sure as we would like. Samsung calls it ‘Crystal Swan design’, and while we’re not sure about the fowl connotation, it’s certainly very attractive.īuild quality doesn’t hold up quite so well.

This has been achieved by integrating all the 1000P’s connections, processing and speakers into the rather thick base.

The screen, which can be tilted at any angle or folded flat, is framed by a transparent cover that extends beyond its edges and is only 7mm thin (though the full thickness of most of the display is 12mm). The piano black frame is mounted on a similarly-finished flat base via a single chromed hinge. Well, first off there’s its design, which is head and shoulders above a lot of the competition in terms of looks if not usability. Read on to find out what else makes this 10in photo frame just a little bit special. These include a relatively high-resolution 10.1in display, media playback of audio and video, a dinky remote control, Bluetooth for wireless connectivity and – last but certainly not least – its ability to act as a secondary monitor when hooked up to your PC or laptop via USB. “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Samsung’s new 1000P Digital Photo Frame!” Okay, so maybe the 1000P can’t fly, but it certainly has many talents that elevate it to ‘super’ status in the usually somewhat humdrum photo frame market.
