This looks way better than most android handhelds. I love the vita sticks. Nice and small, pocketable, damn. I might get one. I want EXACTLY this but with a cutting edge soc.
For < $100 I would pick this over the Retroid Pocket 2S for the display alone. However the niche SoC and lack of custom firmwares is the main thing that gives me pause.
I started watching these videos when I was looking for a retro handheld, after I bought a miyoo mini plus, thanks to your recommendation, I just kept watching your videos beacuse of the quality and a unhealthy addition to retro handheld designs
Woah, if this does hit the 65-75 mark, that's kind of insane. Kudos to trimui, it looks like they put some real genuine effort into this thing. I honestly don't mind the shoulder trigger setup, it looks like it aims for (and nails) the pocket-ability goal, which is something that matters to me. This looks like it'll be a market segment leader if it does hit that price. $90 does push it a smidge.
I do love seeing these devices slowly get better over time. I am personally not a fan of the side banners, i prefer black bars and black bars are also good on the battery too. It's good it gives you the ability to remove them.
I love this kind of design, so simple with stacked shoulder buttons and clicky buttons makes it perfect(for me). I wish it was using 4:3 screen instead. With that type of processor there are some PSP games that can't run flawlessly anyway, at least without tinkering with some settings. But still, it's gorgeous!
An alternative to extending the backside of the L2/R2 buttons outward would be to extend them upward. However, if they did that, they should also extend the front of the L1/R1 buttons upward too. I've never seen any company try it, but by making both of the top buttons as a "halfpipe" cradle for the index fingers could help them keep the same thickness. With all the fast paced changes in this handheld industry, who knows. Someone might try it eventually?
Emulator noob here. I just ordered this for my wife. She's never had a GBA or DS. I thought it looked quality for the price. Paid $70 at Black Friday. Did I make a good purchase?
Wow. Love the look of this device! Simple yet effective with a great size screen. Always a fan of d-pad above analog sticks, because I want an emulator primarily for GBA. Was legit about to order the M17, but I'm so glad this video was at the top of my reccomended list. Thanks, Taki Edit: just ordered the black version for $74 from MechDiy. Free shipping to the UK as well -- absolute bargain. I've been in the market for a retro handheld since November last year... so needless to say I'm very excited!!
@@dadou193 I got it about a week ago and I have to say I am really enjoying it. Not going to lie, setting up the roms was a massive pain because I ejected the SD card like a hundred times to make sure the box art names lined up with the rom names exactly... and I also had to restart my Pokémon Emerald Rogue journey as I quickly realised .sav files don't work on handheld emulators. Bit of a letdown on that front, but with it being my first experience with a retro handheld, it's just one of those things I had to learn at some point. Would have been nice to connect the device directly to fiddle with the folders and stuff, but getting used to retroarch is a necessary evil. The device itself is great for the price. Speakers are good enough, screen is nice and bright, and it genuinely does feel great in the hand. I've played Pokémon for hours on end multiple times now and not once was it uncomfortable. I only paid £64 for it all in all, so it's a very impressive device so long as you are aware of its capabilities and limitations. For example some PSP titles work, and I didn't expect myself to get pulled into it as much as I did on things like Tekken, so I will undoubtedly purchase a more expensive device in the future so I can get upscaling and stuff like that. With all that said I highly recommend it :)
@@sleepycat7718 very cool! Thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity do you know if the soccer games like PES work on the psp on this device? Really curious. And what about Tomb Raider 2 on PS1? Thanks again bud. Cheers enjoy
@@dadou193 The 2014 version of PES works just fine, so I'm assuming the previous ones will too, though I think the A and B buttons might need configuring in the settings, which is a common theme throughout this handheld I'm noticing. And for the life of me I can't figure out how to work Tomb Raider 2 because the only roms I'm finding are separate .bin files and idk, user error on my part, but I can safely say all PS1 titles will also work just fine
@antitatr7438 I found out after two days thr seller was a scam. I found it for 60 shipped for the same model. However, after I tested a few games and shut the system down. I came back to it within the hour and it was hot to the touch and will not boot. I put it in a metal bin just in case the battery expands and blows. I'm returning it to aliexpress for refund. A bummer as it played the games I liked and ergonomics was actually good for the size.
Uff..android no no no. Dual boot would be great. I would prefer to stay in EmulationStation mostly but would love access to great android games. But only android no way. Too much work to set it up
@retroman Android has better optimized emulators, and people over exaggerate how difficult it is to set up. It is time consuming, but objectively easy.
I totally agree on the bad L2/R2 for the very early units (not the current ones). I've solved it by adding two rear holes/buttons for them - it works really well for me.
This is running mainui and RetroArch. This version allows skins and themes, but it definitely is not emulation station. Everything is basically configurable the same way previous Trimui and miyoo devices have been. (Mainui and MinUI not to be confused btw. MinUI would be great on this but I don't know if it's coming.)
MinUi is coming but has a cut off of systems. No n64 or Dreamcast if I remember. I know it covered NES SNES GB GBC GBA. Not sure about DS or anything else. I just bought mine and was watching reviews when I heard about it.
Actually really like the design on this considering how much it will retail for. Better looking than competing handhelds even at slightly higher price points. If the software improves and the price stays relatively low it looks solid.
I really like the form factor. Did they cancel the Trimui Brick for this device or is that still coming out? I've also seen this chip use Android 12, wonder if that would help some systems' performance.
This is like my dream device design for psp and was disappointed by other posts/video showing poor psp performance it was better in this video but still with a 720p screen I really wanted much better performance than that hopefully they stick with and improve on this design in the future with better specs.
Can you do an updated review of the Trimui Smart Pro? I believe several updates have corrected many of the bugs. Since it's close to promo time, I hope you can do a review now so I can decide what to buy.
Software looks like it needs a lot of polishing before it's ready for release. The actual emulation looks decent enough and hopefully someone will make new CFW for this device. It's also nice to see a new device that isn't based on the 3566 or T618.
Hye. It's a little bit late, my trimui smart pro left stick button already broken. I am looking for a replacement part. Can i use vita stick ? If can, what version is compatible. Vita 1k or 2k ? can anyone help me.
Not bad if the price is very keen. Otherwise it might not stand out enough. With that Allwinner SC being exposed, I'm surprised that the back plastic hasn't melted. Hearing that there are GPU drivers should be a plus to get the best out of that aspect.
Trying to decide between this and the RGB30. Wanting to play everything especially n64/psp games with good performance. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Pretty good performance, but I wish you'd throw WWF No Mercy into your N64 testing. It had slowdown pretty significantly on the original hardware with matches that had more than 2 people and it's one of the biggest reasons I'm looking for a solid N64 emulator.
I've used the Super Mario World level 1 theme as my ringtone on every Android phone I've ever owned and still to this day get trolled every time it's included in a video. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't watch so much emulation content lol.
I like this a whole lot more than I thought I would going into this video. The screen and LED rings around the sticks makes it look a lot more premium than it actually is. Performance seems decent enough. I wish this ran Android because I bet "Horizon Chase" would be a blast on this.
Just got this from AliExpress for $60. I’ve been impressed with it so far. Playing ds games was kinda awkward thinking that it was touch screen and it advertise being able to play ds games, but super Mario 64 has been smooth so far.
Anyone know when the use of the stick clicking buttons (L3+R3) were more prominent? PS1 or PS2 era? Curious what games would be sorely lacking without it if anyone is retro game knowledgeable.
The PS1 launched with no analog sticks at all. The Dual Control and Dual Shock with their L3 and R3 buttons both came later. As a result not that many games actually made use of L3 and R3 and those that did generally used it for pointless stuff. The only PS1 game that I can think of which might actually need L3 and R3 is "Ape Escape".
Your video says Wi-Fi 5, it's actually only Wi-Fi 4 (and most likely 2.4GHz only) (according to both the advertising material and the XR829 chip shown in the teardown in this video), which doesn't sound like much but it's actually quite a big deal, this could potentially be a killer streaming device for the price if it had Wi-Fi 5. well if you only use it to do link gaming, it won't matter I guess. The XR829 chip also had Bluetooth, but the advertising material didn't say, maybe in a later firmware update? I might get one if they get the L2/R2 fixed.
@@gordanbabic8028 Someone like me, who likes to emulate PSP and GBA, was pretty happy to get a device with this aspect ratio for $50. Some people also like widescreen hacks, and others don't mind stretching the image. There are more use cases than yours, you know.
Now I am super torn. I've decided a few days ago to get a RGB30 from Powkiddy but this unit ruined my plans. If they are on the same price, then this looks like the better option.
Retroid and AYN is owned by the same company and his relationship with them probably deteriorated after his Retroid Pocket 3 video. I imagine they no longer want to give him free product samples and he doesn't want to pay for their products just to review them.
Damn, It's sad that the tax for my country made this little console doesn't worth buying, but definitely I would buy it 'cause I love it more than R36S, RGB30 and RG35XX+/H

I been looking at this handle emulator. I wanted to get something that can handle gameboy and up to ps1 pretty smoothly with much fps drops. Any suggestions?
Based on the price that it will sell within China + the overseas tax that is usually applied from 3rd party distributors. It's selling for $72 right now, so it's in the range.
Does the 90 dollars that it's at on mechdiy change your mind, is 90 what we should expect, or do you think it will change and settle at a lower price?@@TakiUdon
mine worked out well for about 4 months, after I got some screen issues and I sent it back, not buying another one. and btw it wasn't able to run any N64 007 games
Is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd being slow potentially down to it being the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. version which never ran on actual PSP hardware and was instead intended to be run using an emulator on PS3?
I dont want them to shorten the viewable part of the game name, there are surprisingly many games which don't differ in the first 25 or so characters and on devices that shorten the viewable part of the name its a guessing game which one youre choosing. This already has a separate view if you want to choose mainly on the thumbnail

Needs an OS that runs EmulationStation to be a market leader. It's a hard pass for me not running Batocera or the like.

@@jorge69696you can't believe what? the specs are awful. the price is right and maybe too expensive for what it is

Same here. Never understood the anti-black-bar-movement.

Are there the secret of mana title from the SNES? Do you have a full games just from "out of the box"?
Why do so many of these devices have two ports for USB-C? Is there a reason to separate data and charging?
One of them is used for external accessories. The other port is used for debugging and for charging.
For anybody asking why Taki hasn’t done a video on the AYN Odin 2, he probably has a good reason why 👍
... said the man with the crystal ball. 🙄
Retroid and AYN is owned by the same company and his relationship with them probably deteriorated after his Retroid Pocket 3 video. I imagine they no longer want to give him free product samples and he doesn't want to pay for their products just to review them.
Please review the Anbernic RG Arc-D when it's available.
Now 1.0.4 firmware have released, I guess the later updates would make better this.
Do you have any think to make new video of this?
the battery not being too close to the cpu isnt a good thing? considering that this can get pretty warm in long-ish sessions
I wonder if ship of harkinian will work on this with box, since this is just linux
How people can prefer frameskip over 1x resolution will never cease to amaze me...
Have a question, does the SD card sticks out a bit from the handheld? Mine does.
is this better than r36s and rg35xxH interms of chipset,screen,stability,smoothness of animation and durability?
What do you think about the final version?
Should I get this or the X55?
Damn, It's sad that the tax for my country made this little console doesn't worth buying, but definitely I would buy it 'cause I love it more than R36S, RGB30 and RG35XX+/H
What heatsink should we get to attach to the board??
Speaking of the RP3, how does this compare in size to that? The specs I've seen seem to indicate that it's pretty much the same.
The problem is RP3 screen is smaller and less resolved
Just bought one off allie express for $62. Hope I like it
Hello 😉 Is it possible to connect a game controller to Trimui? Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work - you have amazing videos 👌 Your fan from the Czech Republic.
I been looking at this handle emulator. I wanted to get something that can handle gameboy and up to ps1 pretty smoothly with much fps drops. Any suggestions?
Miyoo Mini Plus plays up to ps1 and is great value
So excited for this... I would love to understand why you think it will be 60-75? What's the logic/thought process behind that?
Based on the price that it will sell within China + the overseas tax that is usually applied from 3rd party distributors. It's selling for $72 right now, so it's in the range.
@@TakiUdonDo you know the Chinese name of the device? Struggling to find it on Taobao
@@TakiUdon $89.99 without your discount from the link you shared in the desc
Does the 90 dollars that it's at on mechdiy change your mind, is 90 what we should expect, or do you think it will change and settle at a lower price?@@TakiUdon

How do cheats work with one of these.
is it possible to change the sticks to hall sticks? thanks
mine worked out well for about 4 months, after I got some screen issues and I sent it back, not buying another one. and btw it wasn't able to run any N64 007 games
I was thinking about picking this up, but your link isn't working...
is the gpu in this better or worse than the one in rk3326/H700?
asking for this to be any cheaper is just ridiculous. the value of this is insane
Is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd being slow potentially down to it being the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. version which never ran on actual PSP hardware and was instead intended to be run using an emulator on PS3?
I dont want them to shorten the viewable part of the game name, there are surprisingly many games which don't differ in the first 25 or so characters and on devices that shorten the viewable part of the name its a guessing game which one youre choosing. This already has a separate view if you want to choose mainly on the thumbnail
