TrimUI opened pre-orders for two new vertical gaming handhelds, bringing the Brick Pro and Brick Hammer Pro U to the market. These devices offer distinct price tiers for buyers seeking retro gaming hardware. The Brick Pro targets budget-conscious users with a lower entry cost. The Brick Hammer Pro U caters to those wanting an Android-based system with more power.
Vertical handhelds arrive in late June and July with storage-based pricing
The Brick Pro serves as the entry-level option in this lineup. It launches with a base price of $89.99 for the unit without a microSD card. Buyers can upgrade to a 256GB storage model for $134.99. TrimUI plans to ship these orders after June 30.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Brick Pro | Brick Hammer Pro U |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Price (No microSD) | $89.99 | $284.99 |
| Max Price (256GB) | $134.99 | $344.99 |
| Operating System | Retro OS | Android |
| Shipping Date | After June 30 | After July 30 |
The Brick Hammer Pro U represents the more expensive segment of the release. It starts at $284.99 on the TrimUI Store without a microSD card. Adding a 256GB card raises the total to $344.99. This device runs on the Android operating system.
Pricing for the Brick Hammer Pro U shows a notable discrepancy between sales channels. The main TrimUI website lists the device at $199.99 but marks it as out of stock. The TrimUI Store lists it at $284.99 with a 15% discount applied. This higher store price exceeds the originally expected cost of around $150.
Early buyers who paid the lower expected price received compensation emails from the retailer. The TrimUI Store prices remain higher than the out-of-stock prices on the main website. Customers choosing the Brick Pro can expect delivery starting in late June. Those ordering the Brick Hammer Pro U should wait until after July 30 for shipment.
