A New EDC Contender: TrimUI Brick

[@daphlife1742]

THANK YOU FOR TESTING USB C TO USB C. No one else has and it's a big pro for my Miyoo Mini V4. Bless you

[@adinwalls]

Glad I could help

[@DoubleGreatRock]

Agreed! I avoid anbernic devices entirely for this very reason

[@MrTheqwery]

Thank you for the test. I completely thought the device was bigger. I imagined it to be somewhere in the size of the analogue pocket based on the advertisements. You helped me a lot, you saved me from an unnecessary purchase.

[@Sneakers8b]

Man it’s really nice looking, like a mix of the Analog pocket and the Miyoo plus.

[@natewoodmusic]

Thanks also for the Bluetooth audio test! I would imagine latency would be fixed with future custom firmware. For me that makes it a Miyoo slayer.

[@krayozmines]

this is the most beautiful budget handheld ever. i thought the miyoo mini plus in purple was beautiful. looking at this mode;.. oh my its so sleek. i wanna get it for looks alone

[@adinwalls]

Ah cool. I'm glad you like it so much

[@seanbrent4245]

I hadn’t done any research in this but for some reason all the images made me think it was just he size of the RG40XX V. Much happier with the smaller size.

[@adinwalls]

Me too. I was pleased to see it's an RG35XX plus, Miyoo mini Plus contender

[@ferret7studio]

Yeah I was definitely surprised when I saw the size too. Looks slick tho!

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

As soon as they announced it and showed that it had a 3.2 inch screen I kind of already knew it was going to be small.

[@MrLaserpowered]

If you like to play squinty eyed on 3.2 i guess it's fine.

[@AhmadZakwan-fd3xc]

You're brain is weird

[@olizelda]

That screen protector bubble would bug the hell out of me 😂

[@adinwalls]

It's bugging me!

[@soulchaser7]

Oh no... this time there's no intro with stylish Aldin walking with his hoodie and retro vibes on the background

[@adinwalls]

Sorry 😟

[@richbeballin]

Its a baby analogue pocket in design with some rgb. It really does look like a sleek device. I see a lot of reviews for the black one, which does look nice and clean. I am more interested in the white and red one and would love to see a video of either.

[@ferret7studio]

I ordered one during the 11.11 sale, I didn’t expect it to come so quickly but it showed up a day after the MM+ I ordered to tinker with / mod so now I have two new things to play with lol.

[@adinwalls]

Enjoy playing

[@ferret7studio]

@ I will! Though I definitely love setting them up more than actually playing them 😅

[@adinwalls]

Haha same

[@jjempi]

I really hope trimui comes out with a 4inch screen version of this (from a rg40xx v owner)😂

[@cgwworldministries83]

I absolutely adore you. I can feel your love for the craft of all of this. I like how you are as unbiased as possible. Keep it real man.

[@adinwalls]

Aw thank you!

[@hotchoclateguy]

I think you are the first to review this, thank you. Looks nice

[@WitchDoctor87]

I really like the way it looks! The fail for me is no hdmi out. Nothing in pocket factor c9npares right now to the rg35xx line of handhelds.

[@retroCubeGG]

it looks very sleek and clean

[@adinwalls]

Yes the design is great

[@Kevin-Schmevin]

3.2 inches? What is this, a handheld for ants?!?! - Derrick Zoolander

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

The files are in the computer!!

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

😂🤣😂

[@adinwalls]

Hahaha

[@adinwalls]

We need more Zoolander quotes

[@drocka36]

It was just a freak gasoline fight accident!

[@CLONE_IX]

Please retest Bluetooth audio when you get the Crossmix OS.

[@soulchaser7]

Some months ago, I remember I bought my second MM+ unit, a black transparent one for only $ 30 lol

[@adinwalls]

Wow

[@Brunoxid0]

"3.5inches is too small" Me, playing on my 2.8inch micro handheld: 👀

[@adinwalls]

Hehe yes. I must admit I'm not completely committed to my statement I made there

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

😂😂😂

[@bucharipts9143]

This is Amazing Retro Handheld, 1 of The Best in 2024 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

Big call !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

This looks like it could replace my MM+. It’s got a sharper screen, better build quality, and powerful enough to upscale PS1 games so I am extremely excited. That was my one grip with the MM+ is that it feels like very cheap plastic. I will probably just order this with the crossmix card already installed. Can’t wait! The white one is calling my name.

[@adinwalls]

Yes I immediately regretted requesting the black 😆

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

@@adinwalls😂

[@adamkane7513]

3.2" screen... Sized in between the original 2.8" *Miyoo Mini* and the 3.5" *Miyoo Mini Plus* This could become a best seller! Hope they have a decent firmware, _Onion OS_ means I still reach for either sized Miyoo over bigger better devices.

[@DarthTinderalla-qm9zw]

Adjustable back buttons means you can make them different height meaning easier to press the L/R2 without hitting L/R1. I don't see myself buying another trim unless it's either a flip version or competes with retroid 5 power wise

[@CasualtiesOfGaming]

These seem cool, but does anyone else feel like these handheld aren't evolving? I remember when the retroid pocket 2 first dropped and everyone thought "one day we will get great gamecube and ps2 for 100$ or less" feels like everyone is just kinda hitting the same games at the same price area. Am i wrong?

[@adinwalls]

I think naturally things are not as revolutionary as the days of the Retroid Pocket 2. We now have the Retroid Pocket Mini which is expensive but plays alot of games. Slowly that will get cheaper. But if you recall the old Anbernic RG300 vertical handheld could barely play SNES, let alone PSP.

[@CasualtiesOfGaming]

@@adinwalls true but I'd argue theres thing around the price point of the rg300 now(40$)that trump it and we don't seem to be getting that anymore. I'm also near 40, so I'm used to tech actually going down in price after awhile and that's not really happening the way it once did

[@EliasPfaiffer]

without crossmixOS thats a pass for me!! with crossmixOS im going to buy that thing - really in love with the display!!

[@adinwalls]

Ya for some reason Trimui haven't fixed their weird RetroArch quirks. It's quite irritating.

[@CellPhish]

Should have display out through the USB-C between the shoulder buttons

[@adinwalls]

It doesn't though

[@hibikiholmes2867]

Something about the simplicity of just calling it a 'Brick' makes me chuckle.

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

😂

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Fantastic review! The Gameboy form factor will always be a favorite of mine. Can't wait to try it.

[@adinwalls]

Thanks Kei!

[@BoschizBasus]

Just ordered mine ,got it for 51 dollars after a discount, now i am a man of 9 handhelds

[@Binighted]

Looks beautiful. too bad for the dome switches on the buttons and dpad, that kills it for me.

[@I.M.T.S]

Miyoo Mini Plus was my first retro handheld and the reason why I have ten more now, but I'd trade my MM+ for the Brick in a heart bit. As an Analogue Pocket owner this really speaks to me. Yet I'll probably never going to buy this because I already have MM+. The next two HH I plan on buying are MagicX zero28 and Miyoo Flip.

[@adinwalls]

Yes the flip looks interesting

[@litnxt_official]

Awesome video! Looking forward to the comparison of Surwish CrossMix OS!😉

[@adinwalls]

Yes! Looking forward to it too. I think Surwish/Crossmix will be perfect with this.

[@litnxt_official]

@@adinwalls Totally agree!!

[@adinwalls]

@litnxt_official 😊

[@k-onew8876]

Sadly too small for my eyes, 3.5 was perfect

[@cho-v4n]

I don't see the brick as something that would dethrone the mm+ especially considering you can get a mini + for so much cheaper when not buying it on one of these drop shippers. Litnxt and these other drop shippers shouldn't be charging that much for a miyoo mini plus anymore. You can pick one up now for 40ish usd so at that price it's not worth the upgrade to a trimui brick for me personally.

[@adinwalls]

Just to clarify, LITNXT are not drop shippers. They purchase stock and resell. What's great about them is that they try to add as much value as possible. Their shipping is also good. But yes, they can't offer those great AlExpress deals.

[@brownfox1540]

Miyoo mini/plus nailed this format way too hard. Way too much of an uphill battle for any other vertical 'brick'.

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

Kind of agree with you there

[@martinmagnia314]

Brick chipping from the miyo mini block

[@adinwalls]

Lol

[@M_CFV]

Trim knocking it out of the park again with cheap devices edging out the competition

[@FatalityPWN]

I ordered the purple color on Powkiddy. Just have to wait till next month for shipping to start.

[@adinwalls]

The Brick comes in Black and white. Or are you referring to the Miyoo

[@streetlites]

@@adinwallsthe Brick is also coming in purple and red. Only available to order from powkiddy at the moment. Shipping starts next month

[@LuluManager2]

@@adinwallsThere’s a purple and red too. Shipping in December

[@aaronwarren4344]

O.G. Knife 🗡 video!!

[@justcallmeB1803]

i hope knulli os release the OS for this type like the older version

[@MrPaulopp]

I think you failed to mention the screen resolution. That screen has 400ppi, which rivals flagship smartphones.

[@adinwalls]

I spoke about the screen

[@frankysour]

Nice device! One curiosity, is the second USB c port usable at all in that tight space (I don't really know if any dongle of slightly larger connector would fit ...) and in case it is, what you actually use it for, without a video out?

[@adinwalls]

Ya the OTG is strange

[@caboose6411]

I know this isn’t really about this video, but do you think the rp5 is worth getting? I want to get my first powerful handheld and was thinking of ordering an rp5 in the GameCube color way. I know the rp4 is still quite good but I like the looks of the rp5 and its screen is much nicer. Trying to decide before December so it’ll hopefully arrive by Christmas

[@adinwalls]

If you like the RP5 colour and you're happy with the extra cost, go for it. I have been playing it extensively and the button layout that we are all debating hasn't been an issue and I have been streaming from my Steamdeck

[@bullb7594]

Is it so uncomfortable to hold as the miyoo mini plus?

[@adinwalls]

It's less ergonomic if that's what you're asking

[@JayThePancake]

Did you try to play it single handed? If yes, how was it? I’m thinking of buying mm v4 and this would be an alternative with a slightly bigger screen

[@adinwalls]

Not yet

[@sandplasma]

Already have a Miyoo Mini v4 and Mini+, it's nice but I dont really need it. Will pass.

[@se7enBC1]

Can Crossmix be done on our own? Or is the Surwish SD card necessary for Crossmix OS to be worth it?

[@adinwalls]

No you can set Crossmix up yourself

[@UkeofCarl]

Anyone else notice 'LCD ''brighness'' switcher'?

[@belix47]

Хороший обзор ,спасибо!

[@adinwalls]

Thanks 🙏👍

[@NickGuelker]

Doe anyone understand the function of the type c port between the shoulder switches? Via MechDIY, (top type-C, USB host, can be plugged into USB handle) Does that mean you can use the brick as an controller for another device? Or you can plug in a controller for playing local 2 player? I'm a little confused.

[@adinwalls]

It's an OTG port which I've always used for a WiFi dongle but theoretically it should work for a wired controller which I will be testing soon.

[@NickGuelker]

@@adinwalls Thanks for the reply! Knowing what to google search is super helpful lol

[@fufu5068]

What is top 3 vertical retro handheld under $100?

[@adinwalls]

Hey. RG40XX V (not sure if it's under 100), Miyoo Mini Plus, Powkiddy RGB20SX

[@adinwalls]

Sorry I think the RGB20SX is also over 100

[@Aygross]

It wont win unless it gets something thats close to onion os in terms of software quality.

[@ferret7studio]

Crossmix grew on me pretty quickly, though I do like Onion better.

[@fredrodnick2881]

Very similar to the trimui smart pro.

[@eatereater6312]

Is this a metal handheld?

[@adinwalls]

No, plastic

[@HTXJoseRosae]

Looks like an analogue pocket

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

Without the price tag!

[@peterle8482]

Not that small to be honest. I play on the rg nano on my breaks haha xd

[@olivermirez6667]

Trimui should change it's name to iRetro.

[@Triknor]

OH NO OPEN K N I F E 🙀🙀🙀

[@martinmagnia314]

Meh I’ll stick with my miyoo mini but that looks nice too

[@colinmartin9797]

that "KK3" controller is the Gulikit King Kong 3. Gulikit makes the really nice hall effect stick replacements for the steam deck and nintendo switch. I have the King kong 2 and KK3 pro, and the 3 pro has kinda rough triggers (they can be switched between analog and digital and in analog mod are really creaky and cheap feeling) and feels slightly weird in the hand with the plastic texture, but the KK2 has glass smooth triggers and glass smooth sticks weighted just right. If you can get your hands on one, absolutely do try the new Gamesir Tarantula Pro. It's an utterly amazing controller - it has sticks even more precise than hall effect - using TMR sensors - a really cool looking stand, buttery smooth triggers that can be switched between digital and analog, and a partypiece of a little motor that rotates and recolors the ABXY letters between nintendo and xbox layouts under the clear buttons. And I generally prefer the stick layout of the both sticks low.

[@M_CFV]

Ive fallen in love with the flydigi vader 4 pro controller myself :) Very good build quality, 1000Hz polling rate wirelessly just like the Tarantula. Has a button layout similar to the Duke. Im definitely gonna try out the Tarantula though, looks sick

[@cre8iveone699]

Why bother if there's anolog stick?

[@adinwalls]

Coz we can...

[@HitmiAlHitmi]

Recommending this over RG-406V is misleading to your viewer! RG-406V is cheaper with way better specs.

[@adinwalls]

I never did that

[@RomuloAndrade]

RG406V is cheaper where??
