Overview
- The Aura Ink is on sale today for $499 on Aura’s website as the company’s first color e-paper frame.
- The display measures 13.3 inches at 1600×1200 in a 4:3 aspect ratio within a 0.6-inch-thick frame with a subtle front light that auto-adjusts and turns off in darkness.
- Cordless operation relies on a rechargeable battery rated for up to three months, drawing power primarily when the front light is on or when images change.
- Photo transitions involve visible flashing during roughly 30 seconds of rendering, with default overnight updates and user-adjustable change frequency that shortens battery life.
- E Ink Spectra 6 supplies six base colors while Aura’s proprietary dithering simulates millions of tones, and uploads remain unlimited through Aura’s private photo-sharing app.
