TRIMUI has gone up in our books since their release of the TRIMUI Brick, a remarkable pocket-friendly retro handheld built with care both externally and internally.
It was loved by many in the retro handheld community, and TRIMUI wanted to go a step further with an announcement showcasing an upcoming metal variant named the Metal Brick, which is shipping over the next few weeks.
With TRIMUI's unique designs and special care taken when creating a seamless user experience, we got in touch with TRIMUI's team to ask a few questions regarding the future of TRIMUI as a handheld manufacturer.
Nothing was mentioned about the recently leaked TRIMUI Smart Mini, however.
What does the future hold for TRIMUI?
Looking ahead, TRIMUI will continue to champion innovation, portability, and an outstanding user experience. We plan to deepen our community engagement, explore novel product forms, and persistently enhance our software ecosystem, states officials at TRIMUI.
We're particularly excited about emerging technologies like more efficient, cost-effective custom chips and advanced battery solutions, which promise to revolutionise the handheld industry.
This is interesting to me as I can't imagine many other handheld manufacturers are putting so much focus on battery life. It's an underrated perk to get long battery life on devices of this size, even more so when they're packing larger CPUs and power-hungry displays.
Will we ever see a dual-screen or clamshell TRIMUI handheld?
Yes, we're definitely open to exploring clamshell designs, or even dual-screen devices, to bring even more exciting possibilities to our users. Stay tuned for more from TRIMUI!
Though this is not a guratunee it's good to know that TRIMUI are potentially looking at that market and I feel like
How do you stand out from the competition, in your eyes?
In the competitive retro handheld market, TRIMUI stands out by focusing on ultra-portable design, highly optimised custom systems, and close collaboration with our community. Creating an exceptional retro handheld is a challenging endeavour.
We meticulously balance performance, battery life, device size, and manufacturing costs to ensure a fluid emulation experience and a robust supply chain.
Owned and operated by a passionate team of gaming and hardware enthusiasts, TRIMUI drives its hardware decisions by precisely targeting emulator capabilities, understanding user scenarios, and meticulously controlling costs while optimising, power efficiency.
There's no denying that TRIMUI are moving in the right direction, and swiftly. They prioritise highly optimised custom front-ends in comparison to other manufacturers, and that's why we keep falling back on their devices when choosing a handheld to travel with.
Their community comment intrigued me, as I believe they can do better at talking with Western community members through social platforms, and even a new overhaul to their website, which is broken in many places and a little confusing.
But, I can imagine their focus is on manufacturing right now, which is probably why there is a sense of inactivity. But as they grow, maybe we will see them be more active in these areas, who knows!
