The Divoom Pixoo 64 is most interesting when it changes the role of a small screen in a room. In OSReviews’ walkthrough, it moves from animated artwork to a handwritten message, then to a channel counter and a sound-reactive display. The 64 × 64 LED grid gives each of those uses a deliberately retro appearance.
This review’s value is seeing those modes in action, including the compromises. Colors look lively, but the glossy front catches reflections; community art transfers to the display, but an extra countdown feature produces a connection error. The result is an appealing room accent with a more uneven app experience than a feature list alone suggests.
This article follows the original OSReviews video published August 2, 2021. In particular, the software issue below belongs to that recorded app version and is not a claim that the same issue persists today.
A powered picture-frame shape with several placement options
OSReviews introduces the frame as a pixel-art display that can also serve as a clock, social counter or digital noticeboard. The hardware has a glossy front and a polycarbonate surround, with physical power and brightness controls. Its square panel makes it easy to think of as changing wall art as well as a desk accessory.
USB-C supplies the power, and there is no built-in battery in the reviewed unit. The reviewer notes that a power bank is another possible supply. On the back and underside, the stand and mounting points provide alternatives to leaving it flat on a surface, including a wall position or a tripod-supported setup.
Wi-Fi connects the frame to changing content
The setup begins with a waiting-to-configure screen. OSReviews opens the app, adds the device and sends the Wi-Fi details from the phone. A connection-progress screen appears before the display is ready for its content tour.
The review contrasts this with earlier Divoom displays that relied on a phone to change stored animations. Here, the internet connection also supports faces that fetch changing information. This distinction explains why a clock with channel figures or a financial ticker is a different use from a saved animation that simply loops.
The pixel grid looks lively, but placement affects reflections
On the larger canvas, OSReviews likes the vivid colors and wide viewing angles. Individual pixels remain visible, which is central to the retro style. A bold animation can be recognizable at a glance, while intricate subjects reveal the limits of the grid more clearly.
The glossy surface is the reviewer’s main hardware criticism. A light shining directly at it makes the artwork harder to see, and he would prefer a matte finish. He finds the brightness more comfortable in a dimmer environment. For a room display, that makes the direction of lamps and windows part of choosing a location.
Browse community animations, then see what works on the grid
The gallery collects work from Divoom and community creators. OSReviews selects designs on the phone and sends them to the frame, then explores recommendations and different animation styles. The examples include a retro computer, a train, a keyboard scene and an old phone-startup motif.
Those examples do more than demonstrate that a gallery exists. Simple shapes and familiar retro symbols read naturally as pixel art; more complex imagery can be harder to resolve. The reviewer notices this during the animation tour, where the visible pixelation becomes part of how well a particular subject works.
You therefore do not need to be an artist to use the display, but it is worth judging designs on the physical frame rather than only on the phone preview. The most detailed choice on a phone is not automatically the clearest one across the room.
Draw a personal message and watch it appear on the frame
OSReviews next opens the creation tool using the plus control and draws a short greeting. The phone becomes the editing surface, while the Pixoo 64 shows the resulting strokes. This is a different kind of personalization from choosing someone else’s animation: the content is made for that moment.
For a reader wondering what to make first, a simple word, symbol or small doodle is an accessible example. The demonstrated process is direct: open the editor, choose the drawing tool and add strokes that the display can render. No elaborate animation is needed to make the screen feel personal.
Cloud clocks turn the same panel into a changing information board
Under Channel, OSReviews explores faces with a clock, date and YouTube figures. He opens the settings to choose a different channel, showing that the tracked account is part of the face configuration. The result can stay visible in the background while the information changes.
The selection also includes a multi-channel influencer board, financial faces and game-statistic options. Bitcoin, stock prices and exchange-rate layouts illustrate the financial category; game-related entries illustrate another way the same small panel can carry information tied to an interest.
These are the choices visible in the recorded app, rather than separate tests of every data service. The useful distinction is between choosing a layout and configuring its source: a stock face needs the stock you care about, and a social face needs the channel you want to follow. Service availability and connection requirements can change after a video is recorded.
OSReviews then moves into cloud channels, where changing artwork can play as a carousel. That provides an alternative to leaving a single face on screen: the frame can rotate through visual content when you want it to behave more like ambient room art.
Use music visualization and brightness to change the mood
A sound-reactive channel produces moving bars as the microphone picks up audio in the room. The demonstrated effect is visual: existing sound becomes animation on the LED panel. That is different from buying the display to play music itself.
The settings also give OSReviews a way to dim the panel substantially or turn the brightness back up. He points out orientation and transition-duration controls alongside that adjustment. Together, these affect how noticeable a changing display feels in the room: bright moving bars suit one setting, while dimmer artwork and gentler changes suit another.
The Discover tools reveal a real software limitation
The most important app criticism arrives near the end. Discover lists extras such as games, alarms and countdown tools, but when OSReviews opens the countdown, the app asks him to connect the phone to the same Wi-Fi network as the device. He says they are already on the same network.
That failed attempt makes the countdown a limitation of the reviewed software version. In this 2021 recording, artwork and channel functions are already working, while this extra utility is blocked by a connection message. It is a concrete reason to check the current version if timers are central to how you plan to use the frame.
The planner screen offers another useful idea: scheduled entries can associate different imagery with waking up, breakfast or another activity. OSReviews shows those example entries, but the video does not follow a full day of scheduled changes. Treat this as a view of the planner’s setup rather than a completed long-term test.
Where the Pixoo 64 makes the strongest impression
OSReviews’ strongest case is for a display that adds movement, color and personal touches to a room. Community animations make it easy to get started, the drawing tool gives you a way to add something of your own, and cloud faces let the artwork occasionally make room for information.
The recorded limitations are just as specific: reflected light can interfere with the glossy screen, detailed subjects do not always read as clearly on the pixel grid, and the extra app tools were still uneven in that software version. The reviewer also wishes it could provide music playback. If your main goal is visual character with flexible content, the demonstrated modes explain the appeal. If a particular utility is essential, verify its current behavior before making that utility the reason to buy.
