Trimui Smart Pro 4.96 inch Handheld Game Console Linux System A133P Processor 128G SD Card Support WiFi Multiplayer Online Battle (White)

Works great.
Easy to use and plenty of games. Wish all the games were in English but there’s plenty of fun to be had for the casual gamer.

The Goat
This little jewel is a must have if you enjoy retro gaming.

Solid for PS1 and below
This is an awesome device, but I would hesitate to recommend it at the current price of $100. It can be found for much cheaper elsewhere. At $70, for instance, this is easily a five-star device.**Form Factor**It feels similar to a PSP/PS Vita, which is a good thing. I’ve used it for upwards of an hour without any discomfort. I’d characterize this device as “pocketable” – it’s small enough to fit in most of my pockets anyway.**Controls**The D-pad, joysticks and buttons are all on the smaller side. The biggest flaw is probably the joysticks, which are small, recessed, and not super accurate. Usually they are sufficient, but I’ve run into occasional issues when precision is needed, like some parts of Mario 64. All the buttons are clicky. This is not a quiet device to use at night, if you’re trying not to disturb your partner in bed.**User interface**TrimUI is not anything fancy, but it works well for navigating through different games. It offers pretty seamless save and load states on top of RetroArch. You’re basically limited to the emulators that come with RetroArch. The function key is a nice feature that you can program for different purposes. Oddly, I have to use this key for muting the device, as turning the volume all the way down does not take it down to zero.**Performance**I’ve found that this is powerful enough to run platforms up to N64 pretty well. Several of the included N64 games didn’t work though. PSP performance is very hit or miss. Playing God of War, for instance, things can get very choppy, even at 1x resolution.**Screen**This is probably the standout feature of the device. The screen is bright, crisp and big (for the form factor). I like that the older games come preconfigured with themed bezels, so the whole screen is used.

Feels nice in hand and comes ready to play
The layout of the console is comfortable and easy to use. It does run a little hotter than I would like, but it’s not terrible unless you charge and play at the same time. The RGB joysticks are very dim and I don’t use them but the screen gets decently bright (enough indoor use). I get around 6 hours of battery life from the console, and I play at half brightness.The D-pad and buttons are clicky with a little bit of mush, they could be more distinct in their tactile response. The analog sticks are positioned well and resemble the analog stick on the 3DS/Vita. The 5-inch display is more than enough for the games included and it provides a good viewing experience. The screen size is just right in my opinion since it allows smaller text to be legible, without being so big it’s hard to travel with.The console is pre-loaded with games from different console generations. I will say that keeping the default settings will not give you the best performance, in DS games I disabled frame skip and the gameplay was immediately improved. This device is powerful enough to play most games at full speed, with only some exceptions needing frame skip.I think this device is good for those getting into emulation and wanting something better than a phone. This device has a good interface and emulating on it is much better than fiddling with touch controls on a phone. As with all emulators, settings can be changed to tailor for specific games and this device allows for that.Personally, I prefer the form factor of the RG35XX but that one lacks analog sticks. I think the Trimui is a good device and it’s perfect for just playing old-school games on the go.
