Trimui Brick Hammer Handheld Game Console
Expert Take
The Trimui Brick Hammer retains the excellent 3.2-inch 1024x768 IPS screen and smooth PS1 emulation of the standard Brick while upgrading to a metal shell that better disperses heat but adds weight and warmth. It's a premium-feeling pocket retro handheld, best for fans of 8/16-bit and PS1 gaming.
Pros
- Metal shell evenly spreads heat, reducing hotspot temperature.retrospecd.gg
- Compact vertical design fits comfortably in pocket and hands.theretrojoypad.blogspot.com
- Responsive d-pad and buttons with excellent overall build quality.theretrojoypad.blogspot.com
- Performance up to PS1 is smooth and reliable with MinUI.theretrojoypad.blogspot.com
Cons
- Metal construction makes the device heavier than plastic version.retrospecd.gg
- Aluminum body gets noticeably warm during extended play.retrospecd.gg
- Custom firmware ecosystem limited to MinUI and Knulli (alpha).theretrojoypad.blogspot.com
- Just know it’s not perfect: heat management, occasional glitches, and inconsistent seller experience can be frustrating.infoquu.com
- The only issue I have with this is that many of the Final Burn Neo games such as the 194x series are displayed vertically not horizontally making them very difficult to play and despite tinkering with every setting going there is no way of rotating them.theretrojoypad.blogspot.com
