The TRIMUI Brick Pro is one of the most interesting retro handhelds to come out lately. Typically these companies beef up the processors and specs for a 'sequel', but TRIMUI kept the same insides and just built a bigger body with thumbsticks.
They've got this one I reviewed, the TRIMUI Brick Pro, but they also have a far more powerful (and far more expensive) Android model made from metal coming out soon also. Anyway, this is the Linux/plastic version I've reviewed.
I just reviewed whether the unchanged Allwinner A133P holds it back, how the larger display and Hall effect thumbsticks change the experience, and whether this could ever become a compelling Linux handheld to buy for custom firmware fans.
I also spoke with my friend Frysee from NextUI and long-time TRIMUI community member Kyle to get perspectives from both the developers building for the platform and the fans who love it, just for something different in this review.
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Is refinement enough? Or do you think "Pro" should more power?
As ever, if you don't want to read through a far-too-long review, you can just ask me whatever you'd like here and I'll be happy to answer. Though it is nighttime here and I'm about to go to bed, so if I don't reply for 7 or 8 hours, it is because I'm asleep!
Small correction: you mentioned playing F-Zero X on the N64, but then refer to is as F-Zero GX, which was a separate game for the GameCube.
Thank you so much, you're right! I appreciate it, edit has been made :)
(and sorry, weird thing to get wrong!)
No worries, I enjoyed the write-up!
