What is iHoment and what can it do?

Are you the type of person who enjoys snapping pictures whenever possible but not really fond of the idea of printing them out? Or maybe you take so many pictures and it's getting harder to decide which one of the bunch that you should put on a frame?

In this modern time where every smartphone has great camera quality, capturing precious moments is no longer an issue. But rather, printing it out is what has become a somewhat troublesome affair. So what to do about it?

One of the best solutions for that particular predicament is a digital frame. A digital frame is a combination between a conventional picture frame and a tablet. And one of the most recommended ones is iHoment, a digital frame with WiFi connectivity that you could control through its dedicated mobile apps. 

iHoment is a digital frame created by Govee, a brand from a Chinese company called Shenzhen Intellirocks Co., Ltd. Govee is specialized in making smart home devices and advanced LED lights. All of their products have a sleek design, are easy to use, and affordable. 

iHoment itself is one of their best-selling products and one of the most popular digital frames overall in the market. Its functionality and affordability make it the perfect choice for people who want something that could beautifully display their pictures while still holding great value as a product.

• Image display. As a digital frame, iHoment main function is to display images. When it comes to displaying images, iHoment has lots of different settings that you could tweak according to your preference. Setting the speed of your slideshow, adjusting the color and temperature of the images, etc. 
  
  
• Control through the mobile app. iHoment has its own dedicated mobile apps both for Android and iOS. You can control the digital frame through this app. From uploading photos to accessing different functions of the products, you can do it all through the app. The app itself is also intuitive and user-friendly. So you can be sure to know exactly what to do minutes after you installed it on your phone. 
  
  
• WiFi availability. iHoment is equipped with WiFi capability. This feature could be used for multiple purposes. From remotely uploading your pictures, to gain access to your social media account, and even as a means of video call through the built-in camera.
  
  
• Video call. As mentioned before, iHoment has a built-in HD camera that could be used to video call. The HD camera combined with the WiFi connectivity and the large 10-inch display produced a crystal clear video call experience. 
  
  
• Multiple ways to upload photos. There are several different ways you can get the iHoment to display your favorite picture(s). You can directly plug in a flash drive/SD card into the device, or you can upload it through the mobile app. You could even connect iHoment to your social media account and have it grab the images from there.
  
  
• Voice assistant. Just like Siri for iOS and Google Assistant for Android, iHoment also has Robola as its built-in voice assistant. You can tell it to show a particular set of pictures, initiate a video call, or even only show pictures based on certain tags and categories. 

• Lightweight. With a dimension of 9.9 X 9.2 X 2.3 inches and a weight of only around 2.2 pounds, iHoment is a lightweight and portable device. And just like every conventional picture frame, iHoment also has a stand at the back of the device. You could easily put it up wherever you want or you could simply hold it with one hand during a video call.
  
  
• Great visibility. iHoment boasts a 10 inch IPS touch screen display with 1024 x 768 resolution. With that kind of specification, you could be sure to have great visibility no matter what you do with the device. And by having a 4 : 3 aspect ratio, it would use all of its available screen real estate to display a wide and crisp picture and videos.
  
  
• Simple design. iHoment was designed to look sleek and modern. Design-wise, it looks quite similar to the early version of iPads. The buttons and the ports are cleverly hidden at the backside of the devices to make the front look as clean as possible. 
  
  
• Affordability. When I write this article, iHoment is priced at $170. For what it could do and look at other competitors with similar specifications, this particular digital frame is definitely one of the best bangs for your buck. It also looks way more expensive than it actually is, which is quite rare for this kind of device.

In this modern-day and age, almost every single facet of our life has been digitized. Things that used to require manual labor have turned into the digital version of themselves. More often than not, it's because for the sake of convenience. 

The same thing happened with something as trivial as a picture frame. The conventional one that was made of woods and glass has now turned into a tablet-like device. And one of the best ones in the market is iHoment picture frame. A digital frame with a built-in camera could also be used to video call.
