TrimUI Smart Pro S Handheld Game Console
The TrimUI Smart Pro S is the big-screen option in the TrimUI line-up: a 4.96" HD IPS panel driven by an octa-core Allwinner A523, with Hall-effect joysticks that don't drift and a built-in cooling fan for long sessions. If the 3.5" screens on entry handhelds feel cramped, this is the step up that fixes it without jumping to Android prices.
What the TrimUI Smart Pro S does differently
Plenty of handhelds advertise big screens; fewer back them with the hardware to drive one. The TrimUI Smart Pro S pairs its near-5-inch panel with an octa-core chip running at 2.0GHz — a class above the quad-core RK3326 that powers most entry devices — and then adds an active cooling fan so that performance holds steady an hour in, not just in the first ten minutes. The Hall-effect sticks use magnetic sensing, so the slow-creeping drift that ruins conventional joysticks never starts.

Who is it for?
Pick the TrimUI Smart Pro S if screen size is the thing you keep wishing your current handheld had more of — for PS1-era 3D, text-heavy RPGs, or simply because your eyes deserve better than a palm-sized panel. It's also the sensible choice for shared households: a screen this size is easy to watch over someone's shoulder, and the fan means marathon weekend sessions don't throttle.
How it compares
It has a bigger screen and more power than our R36S and R36 Max, while staying a Linux alternative to Android devices like the Retroid Pocket 5. Our Australian buying guide shows exactly where it fits in the range.

TrimUI Smart Pro S — quick questions
Why does a handheld need a cooling fan?
Sustained load. Passive devices quietly slow down as heat builds; the Smart Pro S holds its clock
speed through long sessions instead.
Are the joysticks Hall-effect on this model too?
Yes — magnetic sensing on both sticks, so drift doesn't develop with use.
Is 4.96 inches too big for a pocket?
It's a jacket-pocket and bag device rather than a jeans-pocket one. If everyday-carry size matters
more than screen area, look at the Brick Hammer.
What can I legally play on it?
Homebrew, open-source ports, public-domain titles and backups of games you own. Cards ship without
copyrighted content.

For consoles, use legally owned game files and back up your storage card before firmware changes.

Is multiplayer available on the R36S?
The R36S has no built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so multiplayer depends on the firmware you run and on adding wireless yourself — our USB-C Wi-Fi adapter kit does that for firmware that supports local play. Support varies by system being emulated. Ask us before you buy if multiplayer is the reason you are buying.
Does the R36S support TV output?
