Vertical Handhelds

TrimUI is expanding its vertical handheld lineup again, but this time the contrast between the two new models is as important as the products themselves. The upcoming Brick Pro and Brick Hammer Pro U share the same compact form factor, yet they are clearly aimed at different buyers. Both devices use a 3.95-inch IPS display, which gives the pair a common visual foundation. From there, TrimUI splits the experience with different chipsets, different operating systems, and different body materials. Two handhelds, two very different directions The more premium model is the Brick Hammer Pro U. It uses Snapdragon G2 Gen 1 with an Adreno A21 GPU and includes a 6-axis gyroscope, although TrimUI has not disclosed its RAM, storage, or battery capacity. By comparison, the Brick Pro is built around the Allwinner A133p, a quad-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz. The same chipset is also used in the Powkiddy V90S, which places the model in a more modest performance tier. ModelMain Details Brick Hammer Pro USnapdragon G2 Gen 1, Adreno A21 GPU, 6-axis gyroscope, Android Brick ProAllwinner A133p, quad-core 1.8GHz, Linux Material choice is also part of the message TrimUI is not limiting the split to internal hardware. The Brick Hammer Pro U uses a metal shell, the same material approach seen on the TrimUI Brick Hammer, which helps position it as the higher-end option. The Brick Pro takes a different route with a polycarbonate shell. It will come in Light Grey, Black, and White, while the Brick Hammer Pro U will be offered in Black, Silver, and Gray. Despite those differences, TrimUI says the two handhelds share the same overall design. That includes the buttons, ports, and ventilation layout, so the distinction comes from the class of the machine rather than the shape alone. Android and Linux define the software split Software is another major divider. The Brick Hammer Pro U will ship with Android, while the Brick Pro will arrive with Linux from the start. That choice reinforces the intended positioning of each device. One is being framed as the more premium handheld with Snapdragon power, while the other targets users who want a simpler Linux-based option in the same vertical family. TrimUI has already revealed the two models in an official video, but the company has not given a fixed release date yet. The video only says the handhelds are coming soon, suggesting the launch window is not far away. For handheld gaming fans, the appeal is in the split personality of the new pair. TrimUI is keeping the display size and design language consistent, while making the platform, materials, and performance path very different for each model. There are still important blanks to fill in, especially RAM, storage, battery capacity, and the exact release schedule. Until TrimUI confirms those details, the Brick Pro and Brick Hammer Pro U remain a revealing preview of how the company wants to segment its vertical handheld lineup. Source: www.notebookcheck.net
