GoKawiilTL;DR TRIMUI is releasing two new successors to last year’s Brick handheld: the Linux-based Brick Pro and the higher-end Android-based Brick Hammer Pro U. Pricing and availability details haven’t been revealed yet.
The premium Brick Hammer Pro U features a CNC-machined aluminum body, a Snapdragon G2 Gen 1 processor, hall-effect joysticks, and USB-C video output.
The lower-end Brick Pro seems on track to target a budget price point by retaining the Allwinner A133P processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage.
TRIMUI has long been expected to launch a new Brick Pro handheld to succeed the well-received TRIMUI Brick from last year. The company is finally revealing more details about its new gaming handhelds, and it’s actually not one but two of them coming to us soon.
TRIMUI has posted an official product video for the upcoming Linux-based TRIMUI Brick Pro and Android-based TRIMUI Brick Hammer Pro U:
If you thought the original TRIMUI Brick was an interesting, albeit low-powered, premium-feeling Linux pocketable, these new iterations are a completely different beast. TRIMUI is splitting the lineup into two distinct tiers: an ultra-budget Linux option and a high-performance, CNC-aluminum Android powerhouse.

Paired with an Adreno A21 GPU that can push up to 940MHz, this SoC puts the Hammer Pro U roughly in the performance ballpark of a Snapdragon 778G.
