surprisingly well-built for an $80-ish device, thanks to its brushed metal backplate and impressive 3.2-inch IPS display

it has a sharper and more vivid screen than the Miyoo Mini Plus (its closest rival)

the face buttons, d-pad and especially back buttons are all stiffer, and its stock UI feels similarly bootleg

Source: trimui.net (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by retrocatalog.com. The official trimui.net page identifies this exact base unit ("Brand: Trimui, Type: Game Console, Model: Brick") and publishes the full spec sheet verbatim: 3.2inch 1024*768p IPS, System OS: Linux, CPU Allwinner A133P 1.8GHz, RAM 1GB LPDDR3x, 8GB eMMC storage, WiFi WLAN 802.11 b/g/n, and a 3000mAh battery rated at 5 hours — with the base "No Sd card" configuration priced at $79.99 USD (compare-at $84.99). RetroCatalog's dated TRIMUI Brick specs page corroborates the identity and supplies the values the store omits: Resolution 1024 x 768, Refresh Rate 60 Hz, Screen Type IPS, OS Linux, and Weight 159 g, while explicitly listing the Brick Pro and Brick Hammer as separate siblings. Together the two pages confirm this is the base TrimUI Brick (not a Pro/Hammer/Smart/other-capacity variant) and pin down every spec and the price.
