    Wish i had this video a few months ago when i was making the exact same decision! decided on the H after i got a huge discount voucher. I'm loving it so far, and it has become my daily driver. It's super compact, and i'm happy that anbernic is listening to the community and putting effort into updating the stock OS instead of purely relying on custom OS makers to fill the gaps.

    I bought both. On the H, I installed batocera and batocera is just a joy to play around wirh. Games don't run as smooth as stock especially psp but no matter still fun. Like the speakers on the H and the small form factor.
    Win goes to the trimui smart pro. Screen is much bigger and i can play for longer sessions without fatique. I dont mind the sticks. But really you can't go wrong wirh either of these at the $50-$60 dollar price point. I keep on buying more of them for gifts. Gotta share the love of handhelds.

  • @SIQmai
    @SIQmai 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    The out of the box performance is miles ahead on the H. I have the H and had the Trimui for 2 days and I sent it back.
    The Trimui feels better in the hands (on the one i had the triggers were even great, no pb with them), but the performance was horrible for me. I also found it way less intuitive than the H.
    Somehow since the screen is bigger the games looked more pixelated and ugly imo tbh, and I couldn't figure out how to scale them better (keep in mind i'm new to all this). A lot of games were not playing right, etc.
    On the H i have had no issues.
    On top of that, for the from factor that it has, i would want the Trimui for ps1 and above, but it can't play it, so it's moot for me.
    I'm aware the performance can be enhanced with a lot of tinkering but that's too much for me, personally. If you're into that then go for it.
    The H plays psp and n64 and NDS out of the box without issue (for me), so it's a no brainer.
    Anyway, just my 2 cents.

    That audio test was... odd. You don't play with handheld console put on the table, and given that TrimUI has built-in speaker - it resonated with the table (which made it somewhat louder than speakers from "H" which were not facing the table). Correct way to do an audio test would be to actually hold both devices with microphone looking down on them (as your ears would be placed).
    It seems that TrimUI from your test has better (Stronger) speaker, but it really doesn't matter as you made audio-screen from the table. Beside that, nice vid man. Thank you for this review.

    With these two having such non-standard (so to speak) chips, I was wondering the exact same thing. Sounds like a bunch of other folks were, too! I jumped on the $50 TrimUI Smart Pro to grab a color I didn't have, so excited to see how the triggers have improved.

    Unfortunately where I live the TrimUI Smart Pro has always been 15-25 USD more expensive than RG35XX H (and its price equivalent is the non-Pro one). I would've picked up the Smart Pro in a heartbeat if they're at the same price point.

    The RG35XX H is awesome because it's super portable! I can easily slip it into my pocket. And if I want a bigger screen, I just hook it up to my 17-inch monitor. But it would be even cooler if it was a bit lighter and thinner, especially when it's hanging out with my phone in my pocket. Plus, imagine if it had a 4 inch bezel-less screen and the handheld size remain the same! That would be next level!

    New revision triggers for TSP have basically the same travel, resistance and feel of the r1/l1. I was pleasantly surprised at how useable they were. Unit also shipped with 1.0.3 firmware. Unfortunately my unit had bad analog stick that quickly degraded.

    I have the H and I've been looking at the TrimUI like the guy in that meme. I think I would choose the H again over the Trim, but it seems the Trim could make some moves in the future with volcan. My H cannot bluetooth audio. The H has new Stock firmware, but you must flash it to an sd. The new stock OS runs way more games at higher end better. I know for your vid it was "out the box" but the H can play many Dreamcast and PS1 games with little issue now on updated stock. The nintendo DS screen real estate is nice for DS players. I like tante in the vertical arcade section on the H. It would look great on the Trim if you could achieve this, I'm sure you can. Thanks for the well timed comparison!

    @SloNicKTub 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I had both devices. It is wrong to compare them. First you need to decide what you will play most - 4x3 games or 16x9 psp games. Personally, I don't like the widescreen being used for 4x3. For myself, I chose Anbernic. After this, Trimui feels like a cheap Chinese toy with uncomfortable joysticks and fake buttons. Anbernic works great for all pre-Dreamcast games and Dreamcast works great in Flycast Libretto. Batocera OS is very good and it is developing. However, Anbernic has a big problem with joysticks that no blogger is talking about. Joysticks have a huge dead zone and are limited to only 8 directions. You can see this in the joystick calibration in PPSSPP. This interferes with games and Anbernic has no plans to fix this limitation. It is sad. And yes, I agree that the RP2s is much better technically, but it is very ugly, it is off-putting. Plus, a small screen on such a large device looks stupid. Retroid should reduce the bottom of the console and put a 3.8-4 inch screen, then it will be great.

    I love the form factor of the H, but long-term use shows a lot of its issues. Even scouring Reddit, every day someone is having an issue with the H, (especially custom firmware) either power-related or network related. Not having syncthing work correctly is a deal-breaker for me. The Trim UI looks interesting though.

      I have both. I think most of the issues on the H are caused by bad sd cards and third party OSs. The stock OS is pretty good ( better than the TrimUI IMO). If you want something really small, get the H. If you want s big screen, get the TrimUI.

      People are mostly bumping into known bugs in a pre-alpha custom firmware. That should pretty much all be fixed by the time Knulli actually gets a stable release. Once that's done, the TrimUI Smart Pro is getting supported next, so they'll be running the same software.

    First time I heard about the static hiss on the H, as I didn't hear it before (and tried it before commenting, full volume and speakers to my ear, on Batocera v40). Could be a hardware issue on the unit. When I was looking for my 1st emulation handheld (on a budget) the Trimui Smart Pro & RG35XX H were the 2 I was looking at seriously. I weighed my choices but price won out as the price gap - RG was $52, Trim was $77 - was not negligible. But the trim is definitely a winner for the bigger screen, a boon to anyone with bad eyesight.

    I really want the Trimui Smart Pro for the PSP form factor, but held off of buying as it cant play that. Just dripped in more cash and picked up an RP3+. The H on the other hand, has a place for me. All systems the H and the Smart Pro play are 4:3 mostly, so it's really just the GBA where i see them neck to neck in screen estate usage.
    I really think despite how decent the Smart Pro is, it doesnt have a place in my use cases.
    Also, software support and connunity support on the H is better than on the Smart Pro, and it's one of the H's biggest advantages. Any issues with the H, the community more or less have answers.

      @@toycoma98 android isnt too bad once you get the grups of customizing it. In fact, the features "added" to current custom firmware in linux devices that are currently being praised have long already been in android, like being able to play music and videos, easy wifi/bluetooth use, tv out... But android has never been praised for these. Oh yeah, and android has an easier time with user level indepth customization, while linux custom firmwares are at the mercy of their developers, like with folder management, OS level config (like android's base contrast and brightness), and much more.
      Sure i love my linux devices, but i find it amusing that linux is being praised when its custom firmwares get features already on android, and android was never praised for already existing features.

    I agree the RP2S is twice as good but it’s twice as much so price to performance they are all about the same. RG35XX-H is a better in pocket device at least for me for size on Modified StockOS non of the other. VZW’s give you full functionality. The TrimUI Smart Pro is a great 1 device solution for anyone getting into the hobby. I’ve been beta testing TomatoOS for a while now and yes it’s an overlay like MinUI but with TomatoOS in most all cases it out performs the stock os even after the newest update.

    I disagree about equal performance! "H" has a screen resolution of 640x480, while TRIMUI Smart Pro has 1280x720 and displays approximately the same frame rate. It's like comparing rtx 4060 for FHD and rtx 4070ti for QHD, the frequency is the same, which means the performance is equal? No, TRIMUI Smart Pro is more productive than "H".

      Both the games are running the same settings in the video. The correct comparison would be like a 750ti on a 720p screen vs a gt1030 on a 4k screen both running a game rendered at 720p. Yes I'm using low end hardware so it's easier to visualise the 4k screen is pointless if the hardware can't make use of it.
      1 will naturally run slightly better than the other but close enough framerate. Similar performance. The trimui running the games on the video is outputting the same resolution with the rg35xx h. It's just stretched to the correct aspect ratio.
      It would be different if the trimui is running ppsspp at 2x and the rg35xx at 1x but that is not the case here.
      Saying all that the screen isn't completely useless, easier to run systems like GBA will naturally look better on the trimui because we can bump up the resolution and still fills up the screen with integer scaling.
      It has a better screen and possibly a slightly better performance on some games, not enough to make a big deal of. If you can't run elden ring on 750ti, you still can't run it on the 1030 either kind of case. It doesn't matter if 1 has 5 fps more than the other.

    NGL the Trimui Smart Pro is definitely better. The only thing holding the RG35XX H back is the 4:3 screen. If it had a 3:2 screen on it, it would (probably) be slightly better than the Trimui Smart Pro. 4:3 screens are good for most but not all retro gaming plus ports are better on 16:9, 5:3, and 3:2 screens. Also the L3 and R3 on the RG35XX would be an instant win.

I've spent days optimizing these bonus systems on RK3326, H700 and RK3566 devices. I don't have the TrimUI Smart Pro (A133 Plus device) but that raw performance slots in-between the H700 and RK3566 (Vulcan support notwithstanding). I'm not personally complaining though, because we do this to ourselves. We push T618 devices beyond PSP into limited GameCube and even PS2. We push D900 and D1100 devices beyond PS2 into limited Wii-U. LOL, I guess this cycle of madness finally ends with the Oden2 or Steam Deck. 😅
