The TrimUI Smart Pro is a widescreen retro handheld in a PSP-style shape. Its bright 4.96-inch 720p screen is great for the price, the build is solid, and the software is easy to use, with screen filters set up out of the box. It can also rotate for vertical arcade games.

The small, short-travel D-pad makes fighting games and diagonal moves hard. The chip is older: fine up to PS1, shaky on N64, Dreamcast and PSP. There’s no touchscreen, so DS games are awkward. It gets warm quickly, and the L2/R2 triggers are stiff. A newer Smart Pro S fixes some of this, so check which model the listing is.
