Samsung is no stranger to the photo frame business, but the company has just rolled out its new SPF-87H Photo Frame featuring an 8-inch 800 by 480-pixel display and 1 GB of onboard memory for storing a library of photos. The idea is that users load their images into the onboard storage via USB from a handy-dandy PC: no Wi-Fi or networking to mess with, although the unit does sport an SD slot for loading camera media. The 87H also features Samsung’s Touch of Color design, as seen in its HDTVs and (lately) desktop monitors.

“The SPF-87H is a great gift idea. Unlike other photo frames on the market, the 87H turns heads when displayed in your home or office because of its slim design,” said Samsung Electronics Americas display product manager Tony Yu, in a statement. “Since the 87H follows the same ToC design of our TV’s and monitors, it creates a great synergy for Samsung products.”

The 87H features a 500:1 contrast ratio, and a ball-hinge design that enables it to be placed in almost any location for display.

The SPF-87U has a suggested price of $129.99, and is available now from retailers like Amazon.com and Fry’s Electronics.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality

Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The US foreign-made robot crackdown is coming for future Roombas too

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care

7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever

Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
