The Brick Hammer Pro U is the top model in a vertical (portrait) form factor, packed with a luxurious design and modern specifications. The entire chassis is made of high-precision CNC-machined aluminum alloy (metal), boasting a solid and heavy feel along with high build quality.
It features a 3.95-inch full-lamination IPS LCD display (resolution 1024×768, aspect ratio 4:3) on the front. Both the screen size and body have been scaled up from the previous model, improving visibility.
For controls, it is equipped with two Hall-effect magnetic joysticks featuring LED lighting, which is TrimUI's identity. The action buttons use durable and tactile ALPS switches, and the back includes uniquely designed L1/L2 and R1/R2 shoulder buttons (rear buttons), showcasing meticulous design attention. The speakers are placed at the bottom front in dual stereo, covering the often-compromised audio aspect in vertical devices.
The basic specifications are as follows:
SoC: Snapdragon G2 Gen 1 (Kryo 8-core: Cortex-A78 2.4GHz ×4 + Cortex-A55 1.95GHz ×4)
GPU: Adreno A21 (up to 940MHz)
RAM: 6GB
Storage: 128GB (expandable via microSD)
Display: 3.95-inch full-lamination IPS LCD (1024×768, 60Hz)
OS: Android
Connectivity: Wi-Fi (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.1
Interface: USB-C (USB 3.0 / video output supported), 3.5mm headphone jack
Other: 6-axis gyroscope, LED-lit analog sticks, ALPS buttons
- ＋ Premium CNC metal chassis: The use of aluminum alloy throughout provides overwhelming texture and robust build quality that satisfies ownership desires.
- ＋ Powerful Snapdragon SoC: It features a very powerful processor for a vertical device, capable of running N64, Dreamcast, and even some GameCube and PS2 titles.
- ＋ Rich interface and controls: In addition to Hall-effect magnetic sticks and ALPS switch buttons, it supports external video output via USB-C (USB 3.0 compliant).
- ＋ Excellent display and audio: The clear 1024×768 high-resolution IPS panel with a 4:3 aspect ratio and front stereo dual speakers enable immersive gameplay.
- − Mediocre memory capacity: The configuration of 6GB, which falls short of the '8GB RAM' standard for comfortably running PS2-class emulation, may limit the SoC's power.
- − Concerns about heat and airflow due to placement: Due to the limitations of the metal back, the intake and exhaust ports appear to be designed near the grip position, raising concerns about hand heat during high load and the risk of blocking the exhaust.
- − Low cost-performance ratio for the price: With an expected market price of about $199.99 (excluding shipping), it feels overpriced compared to competitors with similar or better performance (such as Anbernic products).
- Among the community and reviewers, the refined appearance resembling a 'designer gadget' and the beauty of the LED illumination are highly praised. However, there are also concerns about whether the software optimization and tuning for the first use of Android OS under the TrimUI brand have been adequately addressed.
- Additionally, some users who value pure portability in a vertical handheld express that 'the increase in body size from the previous model has diminished its ease of use,' and others suggest that 'if spending this price range, it may be better to add a little more budget to choose a more established high-end model from other companies for higher overall satisfaction (cost-performance).'
