3 days until Christmas: Samsung made a picture frame that can't be boring

A picture frame can be a nice Christmas gift on a budget, especially if you and your giftee share beautiful memories captured in photos. On the other hand, a plain picture frame can seem generic if gifted without a personal and meaningful photo pre-inserted.

But what if you want to avoid the pitfalls and make this gift work? We have an idea as long as you are prepared to spend extra. If you can do that, the Samsung Music Frame can be one of your best Christmas 2025 purchases.

In short, the Music Frame is a Samsung wireless smart speaker shaped like a picture frame. It debuted in 2024 rather than 2025, but since Samsung hasn't released a sequel this year, the 2024 model remains the best. And it's just as good as ever.

Apart from hiding a decent speaker system and plenty of smart features, the Music Frame's more analog design incorporates a mat that can hold real photos, sizes 8×10 or 8×8 inches. The viewable area is 8×8 inches.

Why the Music Frame can be a great 2025 holiday gift

Fantastic for anyone who wants to turn a picture frame gift into something more special.

The Music Frame has a versatile design with replaceable bezels (purchased separately).

Great set of audio and smart features.

A decent wireless speaker for TVs, smartphones, and tablets.

Compatible with Samsung's Q-Symphony technology.

Can connect to 5 other Music Frames for a surround experience.

Can be used as a rear speaker for soundbars (via Q-Symphony).

Standout award-winning design.

Why you may want to avoid the Music Frame

If you're looking for a wireless and portable smart speaker, this is not it. The Music Frame connects wirelessly to your devices, but it doesn't have an internal battery. It must be plugged into a wall socket, so it isn't portable.

Relatively pricey if your highest priority is good TV sound over design and smart features. You can find better-sounding, but arguably more plain Samsung soundbars for similar prices.

Samsung Shop

The Music Frame smart speaker from Samsung usually costs $399 before discounts.

However, ahead of Christmas and likely even after, you should find the Music Frame discounted at the Samsung e-shop. Right now, in the USA, the Music Frame is $70 off, and every additional Music Frame added to the shopping cart is an extra $50 off ($120 total).

With just a few days left before Christmas, there's still time to find the perfect gift. And if the Music Frame isn't it, check out our wearable and phone gift guides and you'll hopefully get a few ideas for the holidays. Hit the buttons below.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
