Details and specs
The TrimUI Brick is a compact handheld with a metal back panel and a bright 3.2-inch 1024x768 screen that’s very sharp for its size. It plays everything up to PS1 without trouble, and part of the N64 and PSP libraries, and the build feels a cut above most devices at this price.
It’s flat all around, so there’s not much to grip, and the small L2/R2 buttons aren’t great for PS1 games that need them. The removable shoulder buttons can come off if they snag in a pocket, and the 3000 mAh battery lasts about 5 hours. It’s best for 2D games and pixel art, where the sharp screen counts most. Some listings bundle a microSD card with games, so check which bundle you pick; the console works without one.
- 3.2-inch 1024x768 IPS screen
- Allwinner A133P chip at 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM
- Linux, with the Crossmix firmware on this listing
- 8 GB internal storage plus microSD
- 3000 mAh battery
- RGB lighting
