Along with its New TVs, Ultra Short Throw Laser Projectors and Sound bars most of which are totally predictable Enhancements of existing products, Samsung brought something truly different to Consumer Electronics Show 2024, like the Samsung Music Frame, a Dolby Atmos enabled Wireless Speaker that doubles up as an old fashioned printed photo frame.
The Music Frame clearly owes a lot to Samsung’s popular Frame TV, which can display any digital art of your choice when you’re not using it as an actual TV. But unlike the TV, the Music Frame doesn’t make you choose between listening to music and gazing fondly at your favorite family portrait, you can do both and the picture doesn’t disappear when you turn off the tunes.
The Music Frame is equipped with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so you can do simultaneous streaming from any smartphone, tablet or computer, as well as add it to a new or existing multiroom wireless audio setup. If you own a Samsung TV or soundbar, you can pair the Music Frame and use it as a TV speaker, a rear speaker or a subwoofer. If you buy a second Music Frame, they can be stereo paired or used as left or right wireless surrounds. Or you can connect up to five of them for synchronous play.
