TRIMUI Brick Hammer Pro U

We’ve been looking forward to it for a long time and it’s finally here: the TRIMUI Brick Hammer Pro U. With this model, TrimUI is making its first serious foray into the Android market, and they’ve got it right straight away. The Hammer Pro U combines the premium build quality TrimUI is known for with powerful hardware, a stunning 4:3 screen and all the freedom Android has to offer.

Just like the original Brick Hammer, the Pro U also features a CNC-machined aluminium casing. This not only gives it a premium look, but also makes for a sturdy handheld that can take a knock. Under the bonnet, we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon G2 Gen 1, making this handheld a significant step up in power compared to TrimUI’s earlier Linux models.

Are you looking for a compact, vertical handheld that lets you play not only classic retro games, but also PS2, GameCube, Wii and Android games? If so, the Brick Hammer Pro U might just be exactly what you’re looking for.

Key features

Premium CNC-machined aluminium casing

TrimUI is renowned for the excellent build quality of its handhelds, and the Hammer Pro U is no exception. The CNC-machined aluminium casing feels sturdy, luxurious and premium, giving this handheld a look and feel that you would normally only see on much more expensive models.

Powerful Snapdragon G2 Gen 1

This is the first time TrimUI has opted for a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Thanks to the Snapdragon G2 Gen 1, the Hammer Pro U is powerful enough to emulate virtually all popular retro consoles smoothly and can also handle more demanding systems such as the PlayStation 2, GameCube and many Wii games with ease.

Android 15

The Hammer Pro U runs on Android 15. That means you have complete freedom to install your favourite emulators, play Android games or download apps directly from the Google Play Store.

Prefer cloud gaming? That’s no problem either, thanks to support for Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam Link, Moonlight and GeForce NOW, amongst others.

Stunning 3.95-inch 4:3 IPS screen

The 3.95-inch IPS display has a resolution of 1024 × 768 and is perfect for retro gaming. Thanks to the 4:3 aspect ratio, classic consoles look their best and games appear crystal clear.

Dual Hall-effect sticks

The Hall-effect joysticks use magnetic sensors, making stick drift a thing of the past. Ideal for long gaming sessions and precise control with modern emulators.

Video output via USB-C

Would you prefer to play on a bigger screen? Using the USB-C DisplayPort, you can easily connect the Hammer Pro U to a monitor or television and play your favourite games on the big screen.

Why this model is special

The Brick Hammer Pro U isn’t just a more powerful version of the TrimUI. It’s the brand’s first genuine premium Android handheld, and it shows in every detail. The combination of a luxurious aluminium casing, powerful Snapdragon hardware and a stunning 4:3 screen makes this one of the most comprehensive vertical handhelds currently available.

In terms of performance, you can count on excellent emulation of virtually all classic systems. Everything up to and including the Dreamcast, PSP and Sega Saturn runs without any issues. The majority of the PlayStation 2 and GameCube libraries are also perfectly playable. In addition, many Wii games run superbly, and lighter Nintendo Switch games are possible with the right emulator and settings.

Of course, emulation performance depends on the emulator used and the game itself. So don’t expect every PS2, Wii or Switch game to run perfectly, but for most popular titles, the Hammer Pro U offers more than enough performance.
