TrimUI Model S – The Tiny Retro Pocket Console That Packs a Punch!

Hey fam! 👋


It’s P’Nick here, and today I’m excited to show you one of the most pocketable handhelds I’ve covered in a while, the TrimUI Model S (A66 Version)


If you’ve ever wanted a super small, super affordable retro gaming handheld you can literally toss in your jeans pocket, this little guy is for you! Let’s dive in 👇


🖥️ Screen – Small but Surprisingly Sharp

The TrimUI Model S features a 2.0-inch IPS color screen with a 320x240 resolution.

Sure, that sounds tiny (and it is!), but the good news is that for old-school 8-bit and 16-bit games (think NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBA, and more), this resolution is actually perfect. Colors pop nicely, and thanks to the IPS panel, you’ll get decent viewing angles for something this small.

🎮 Controls and Build Quality

This thing weighs only 80 grams and measures just 10.6 x 5.6 x 0.96 cm, making it one of the thinnest and lightest handhelds I’ve covered.

You get:

  • A responsive D-pad

  • Classic A/B/X/Y buttons

  • Start and Select

  • 3.5mm headphone jack

  • USB-C charging port

And the face buttons sit nicely for quick inputs. The build quality is surprisingly solid for a device under $30.


💾 Built-in Games and Supported Systems

The unit comes preloaded with 15,000+ retro games on the included 32GB microSD card (but like always, what’s included depends on the seller and legal regions).

Supported systems include:

  • NES / SNES / Game Boy / GBC / GBA

  • SEGA Master System / Game Gear / Mega Drive (Genesis)

  • Neo Geo / Arcade / PS1

  • PCE / and more…

And because it runs an open-source Linux OS, you can even add your own games later if you want to tinker.


🔋 Battery Life

Inside is a 600mAh battery, giving you around 3.5 hours of playtime per charge.

Charging is via USB-C, and it takes about 1.5 hours for a full charge. Pretty fair for the size and price range.
