TrimUI Smart Pro S debuts as new retro handheld boasting up to 2.5x faster GPU performance than older model

TrimUI has dropped new information about its next gaming handheld. For context, the company has just re-released the Brick Hammer in two new colourways. Now, it is preparing to launch the rumoured Smart Pro S, with Mech DIY having already opened pre-orders.

In short, the Smart Pro S looks like a beefed-up Smart Pro (curr. $89.99 on Amazon). However, TrimUI has made various changes that should deliver up to 2.5x GPU performance over the Smart Pro. TrimUI has swapped the Allwinner A133P for the Allwinner A523, a 22 nm chipset with eight ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores and a Mali-G57 MP1 GPU.

On the other hand, TrimUI has added an active cooling solution for the Smart Pro S to minimise thermal throttling under sustained load. Moreover, the Smart Pro S adopts TMR joysticks for improved accuracy. Full hardware specifications remain unknown for now, though. Nonetheless, the TrimUI Smart Pro S can already be pre-ordered on Mech DIY for $89.99 in a choice of black, grey, green, red and white colour options ahead of a full announcement.
