Aura Launches Ink 10 Color E‑Ink Photo Frame

Its higher pixel density, extra tuned base inks, and cordless rechargeable design aim to make digital photos look like printed prints while trading off color range and refresh speed.

Overview

  • Aura put the 10-inch Aura Ink on sale in the U.S. on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, with a $349 price and immediate availability through its store.
  • The Ink 10 uses E Ink’s Spectra 6 panel expanded to nine tuned base colors plus Aura’s proprietary dithering, and it raises pixel density to 200 ppi for sharper detail than the 13-inch model.
  • The frame is cordless with a rechargeable battery that Aura rates for up to three months at one image change per day but reviewers report shorter real-world runtimes depending on refresh frequency, lighting, and motion sensing.
  • Changing a photo is a slow, visible process that takes about 30 seconds and can be set between one and 12 automatic updates per day, a tradeoff that conserves power but rules out rapid slideshows or video.
  • The Ink 10 links to the Aura app with free unlimited cloud storage, shared albums, Google and Apple Photos support, and text/email uploads, positioning it as a premium non‑backlit alternative to Aura’s cheaper LCD frames.
