TrimUI Brick Pro Handheld Game Console

The TrimUI Brick Pro is the handheld the retro community hasn't stopped talking about TrimUI's compact brick design upgraded with a 3.95" IPS screen, dual Hall-effect joysticks and built-in Wi-Fi. It sits in the sweet spot between a device you can pocket and a screen you can genuinely settle into for an evening.

Why the TrimUI Brick Pro stands out

Most handhelds at this price make you choose between size and comfort. The TrimUI Brick Pro refuses to: the body stays compact enough for a jacket pocket, while the 3.95" panel gives text, menus and pixel art noticeably more room to breathe than the 3.5" screens on entry-level devices. The joysticks are the other headline they're Hall-effect, meaning they sense position magnetically instead of through physical contacts, so the stick drift that eventually plagues conventional handhelds simply doesn't develop.

Who is it for?

Choose the TrimUI Brick Pro if you already know you love retro handhelds and want the version of that experience you won't feel the need to upgrade away from in six months. The bigger panel makes PS1-era 3D and text-heavy RPGs dramatically more pleasant, the Hall sticks remove the most common long-term failure point, and Wi-Fi means firmware updates and wireless play without a dongle.

How it compares

Against our R36S ($79): the TrimUI Brick Pro adds a bigger, sharper screen, drift-free sticks and built-in Wi-Fi for roughly double the price a fair trad
