The TRIMUI Smart Pro S has been revealed, and TRIMUI have shown off some new colours, new features, pricing, and third parties such as MechDIY have already opened up pre-orders.

It's coming, there's no denying it, and although TRIMUI doesn't want this to compete with "premium" devices, they have added some much-needed upgrades.

For example, the upcoming Smart Pro S will feature a "2.5x faster GPU", it comes with larger trigger buttons on the back, TMR analogue sticks and "better controls".

TRIMUI are also launching this with new, playful colours, featuring: black, white, grey, green, red and yellow.

Pricing starts at $89.99 without an SD card (so no stock OS), so I actually recommend going for the $99.99/64GB storage version if you want something that works out of the box.

For an extra $10 ($109.99), you can get the 128GB version, or an additional $20 ($119.99) for the 256GB version. MechDIY is offering the choice between stockOS and CrossMixOS for an additional price too.

For any handheld that we have yet to review, we only recommend going for stockOS, as sometimes customOS aren't optimised for new devices, as we saw with the Miyoo Flip Mini.

It's a much-welcomed refresh, even if it's entering a much faster, more aggressive market, seeing as AYANEO has now entered the sub $100 market, which can power a lot more than this.

TRIMUI creates beautifully designed devices, both hardware-wise and software-wise wise so I am intrigued by this one and am hoping to get one in to review for you all.
