What to Look For
Key factors to consider before buying on AliExpress
True pocket devices have 2.8-3.5" screens. The Miyoo Mini is famously pocketable at 72x85mm. The Trimui Smart Pro is slightly larger but still pocket-friendly.
Expect 3-5 hours for pocket devices vs 6-8 for larger handhelds. The Miyoo Mini+ gets ~5 hours; the Trimui Brick ~4 hours.
Ultra-small devices can be uncomfortable for long sessions. Horizontal designs (Trimui Smart Pro) offer better grip than vertical designs (Miyoo Mini).
