The TrimUI Brick has become my FAVORITE micro pocket handheld

Buy the TrimUI Brick here:
LITXNT: mttech.link/BrickNXT (free worldwide shipping + code MONTO12 for 12% off)
AliExpress: mttech.link/Brick

For the price, this is a solid handheld that is built for everyday use: Excellent build and feeling, satisfying buttons/dpad, good performance (best with PS1 and below), and a decent 3000mAh battery. It's just a great package that doesn't excel in performance, but makes up for it in experience and fun.

There's plenty to love about the TrimUI Brick AND there's many aspects that are still falling behind. Most of it's weaknesses are software-related. But in time, I think the Brick has the potential to be a beloved handheld that might take the EDC throne...
