[UPDATE: Pre-orders Beginning] TrimUI Drops Another Teaser for Its Upcoming Brick Pro and Hammer Pro U Handhelds
If you thought the retro handheld scene was getting a little sleepy lately, TrimUI just threw a massive shot of espresso into the mix. After months of quiet rumors and leaked packaging, the hype train is officially back on the tracks with the announcement of two new heavy hitters: the Brick Pro and the Hammer Pro U.
Here’s the breakdown of what’s coming to your pocket:
- The Brick Pro: Think of this as the “just right” option. It’s a beefed-up version of the original Brick with a 3.95-inch display and dual joysticks. It runs on Linux, which is a huge win for the custom firmware crowd who love to tinker.
- The Hammer Pro U: This is the powerhouse. It swaps Linux for Android and packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon G2 Gen 1 chip, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It’s built for those who want more muscle behind their emulation.
The best news? You don’t have to wait for the “official” launch to get your hands on the Brick Pro. Pre-orders have already popped up at retailers like GoGameGeek and LITNXT, starting around $99 (though you can snag a discount with some quick coupon hunting).
Keep your eyes peeled—if these don’t sell out instantly, the retro market might just be getting its spark back.
