The Next Great Everyday Carry Handheld? TrimUI Brick Deep Dive Review!

[@RetroGameCorps]

Whoa 30 min Zu video. We’re eating good today

[@retrohandhelds]

Hello Russell.

[@RetroGameCorps]

@@retrohandhelds well well well, we meet again.

@@RetroGameCorps haven't you published a cookbook? i think you eat very well every day :)

No, don't eat them, that is not what they are for.

I'm going to blow your mind Zu. Hold the power button... yep it asks you to power off. Great review. Better than coffee this morning

[@zu_perler3011]

OH SHOOT

[@Midori-q5l]

I'm just happy that you include that 1 hand rpg usage since it was a point in the miyoo mini plus review on russ's video i though he would include it but disappointed but yeah sometimes some things can get left forgotten which is fine thank you for including that test tbh

[@jtothebell]

I'm grabbing a snack and drink while I sit back and watch the Zu/Russ beef unfold

[@livemyw0rld]

Please don't take it the wrong way, but your faceless content has a totally different vibe, which I jive with way more. Can't pinpoint why myself, but this was a banger review video.

[@retrohandhelds]

Appreciate the feedback! 👍

[@blakeandcamp]

I just got mine tonight and I'm honestly kind of blown away by it. It feels so premium for a 50 - 60 dollar device and the screen quality is absurd for that price point. It's definitely going to be my daily driver for anything under PS1.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Some of my best memories were rocking my little girl to sleep while playing my switch. I sure wish I had this thing back then.

[@wingn3849]

I’ll play my MMP until it dies then play my RP2+ until it does . Then, maybe I’ll get one of these.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

Figure it'll be less than $50 soon enough

[@Grimlo9ic]

From robbing banks with sizzled fingerprints to instigating domestic discord in the Zu Reviews household. This is the kind of talking adventure I tune into Zu for.

WHEN ARE WE GETTING ONE HOUR ZU REVIEW?

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

😂🤣😂

[@caldeio]

yeah i changed the F3 key to led on and off. I don't know if it works either!

[@Tom-Bomb]

I can’t decide what color I want!!! 😱 between b&w.. n I love the red too but I don’t think the RGB’s would look good on it. Like red with green, what is this Christmas? Black is ALWAYS my safe pick w/ things but I think I’m leaning more to the white on this one. Rly like the contrasting grey buttons …but that black is so clean looking!!! And for some reason I think if I eventually get modded SFC colored skittles buttons for it someday, they’d look better on the black. IDK WHAT TO DO!!!

[@chestercastillo2703]

I was hoping you'd compare the size to a horizontal device. So far none of the reviews I watched have. I just wanted to see how smaller is it in comparison to an RP2.

[@Jesch122]

MORE ZU REVIEWS! MORE ZU REVIEWS!

[@retrohandhelds]

THE MASSES HAVE SPOKEN. ZU WILL RETURN WITH A NEW VIDEO SOON!

[@TacticalDingus]

How do you change the color of the RGB lights? Can you actually pick the color or does it just follow the theme or whatever?

[@melvinsin641]

I previously bought the Trimui Smart Pro and the clock was wonky, it was hard to set the region, and it refused to stick to the time I set it (would keep auto-jumping ahead by 6h). And the clock would stop when i power off the device and only resume from where it left off when I power back on. Do you notice this issue with the Trimui Brick?

[@spencerlang8643]

Does it really get that hot? Some reviewers say its tolerable and other say its intolerable.

[@retrohandhelds]

In the grand scheme of "Is this going to cause an actual burn?" I guess it's tolerable, but it's not enjoyable.

[@yeyebalam2688]

To me result a bit annoying that the screen is not a 960x720 resolution, that would fit lot better than that 1024x768 PC resolution.

[@chrisharrison3374]

@@yeyebalam2688 these manufacturers take what they can get, the price of even the high end retro handhelds puts them out of reach of custom ordered screens, let alone this one that costs the same as a family trip to McDonalds. Super impressed what they've managed to achieve here to an incredibly low price point.

[@akuji330]

I love the Miyoo mini v4 but I'm not a fan of the face buttons and shoulder buttons to be honest, I'm toying with the idea of replacing it with the Miyoo a30 (because it's vertical) or the brick (because of the better screen and the buttons look nice). The mini plus is another option but it's literally the same thing I have now but bigger, the TSP is another option (I bought one during black friday and will arrive next month) but I want something small to have in my backpack.

[@BunkerAnon]

What's the kinda Bluetooth on this model?

[@everythinghasfacts]

Pls help im choosing between rg34xx and trimui brick or smart pro...im a gba kid and genesis kid whats the best handheld for me that you can recommend?

[@bullb7594]

Hey Pal....great... I bought a miyoo mini plus but the ergonomics experience was not good for me at all! Do you think I can take a shot at Trimui??

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

classic, we need CFW

[@nickentros]

I’m running MinUI on mine until crossmix is ready

[@roronoazoro-136]

How is the size of it compared to a samsung s23?

[@soupnazi81]

Which is more comfy. Miyoo Mini Plus or the Brick? I notice the brick has more sharp edges

[@retrohandhelds]

It's really a personal preference thing. I'd probably give the nod to the MM+ for the reason you already gave.

[@soupnazi81]

@retrohandhelds thanks. I just dusted off my Miyoo Mini Plus and tried it for comfort. (very comfy) Yeah no need for me to upgrade to yet another device. I have so many lol

[@selfmademusic206]

didn't the sp came out this year? how where you using it for 2 years?

[@retrohandhelds]

I've been using some variant of an XX handheld for that long, be it the OG 35xx, the plus, or the SP since summer.

[@Vonliktenstien]

This with MinUi is great ngl

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

Any word on when the Red & Purple ones are finally gonna ship? Wanting my Red one lol

the buttons pop off you dont have to open to change them

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

I wonder if this will start a trend?

[@eksot]

0:50 ah yes CNC milling, the most effective way to create aluminum sheets. :D

[@failedbooli6028]

I bought mine with a cross mix sd card and it was the best decision. I have a lot of other handhelds with custom os and I installed it all myself it felt nice to just get this and play right away. None of these consoles come ready to play off the box

[@TheMysteryDriver]

None? Most do in my experience. I never use custom firmware

[@HammerHead-kr9cg]

Predator button - nice one😂

[@ramonfletcher]

Knulli test build is out, so use that, it’s great. The brick is far better than any XX or miyoo device. They shouldn’t be in the same breath as an alternative.

[@dubsmachine555]

@@ramonfletcher does it work with WiFi wpa3? I didn't use it on my RG40XX V because I refused to switch my router to Wpa2 security. Stuck with stock os because of that.

What does Robbing a Bank and Crazy Taxi have in common?

[@TakisEnjoyer]

It's crazy to me that company with UI in the name is so bad at UI...

[@JDDoc155]

That's where the Trim part comes in, you cut the UI to the point of frustration.

[@piercewiederecht5135]

it’s crazy that you think this firmware is anywhere near as bad as Anbernic or Miyoo firmware

[@ramonfletcher]

Hold down power to make the power option to pop up.

[@TheSpareTechRoom]

I dig it, but I can't figure out why I would get it over something like the 35xx. Hmm. I might have to scoop one up and do a comparison. .....and good luck in marriage counseling! lol

Can I have tiny gameboy plz

[@zu_perler3011]

Plz tiny gameboy. Give plz

[@mattdavis9601]

My first Game Boy was the Game Boy Color. As a result, I have zero nostalgia for the Game Boy curve. It looks fine on an actual Game Boy; but, I'm so over it on retro handhelds. Symmetry, Symmetry über alles! Über alles in der welt! You'll be happy to know that I didn't eat or drink during your extended coverage of the Brick. No sir. Instead I played it while I paced back and forth my house due to lack of a treadmill. It's 11:30PM as I type this and I'm up to 15,195 steps on the day. So why, Dr. Zu, am I still fat? Why‽‽‽

[@retrohandhelds]

Dear Matthew, Try to limit your intake of carbohydrates and see if that helps. Homemade bread and pasta in moderation are okay, but those jokers put sugar or corn syrup in everything nowadays. Your pal, Dr. Zu
