Wish i had this video a few months ago when i was making the exact same decision! decided on the H after i got a huge discount voucher. I'm loving it so far, and it has become my daily driver. It's super compact, and i'm happy that anbernic is listening to the community and putting effort into updating the stock OS instead of purely relying on custom OS makers to fill the gaps.

Loving your videos man. Hope to continue seeing this long video format with detailed overviews. Also the 35XXH has quickly become my absolute favorite retro handheld for golden age of 2D games. Up to GBA flawlessly. It's an amazing Mega Drive machine too.

Thanks for the video, I was curious about this as well.

I bought both. On the H, I installed batocera and batocera is just a joy to play around wirh. Games don't run as smooth as stock especially psp but no matter still fun. Like the speakers on the H and the small form factor. Win goes to the trimui smart pro. Screen is much bigger and i can play for longer sessions without fatique. I dont mind the sticks. But really you can't go wrong wirh either of these at the $50-$60 dollar price point. I keep on buying more of them for gifts. Gotta share the love of handhelds.

Ay another banger, thanks Joey!

With these two having such non-standard (so to speak) chips, I was wondering the exact same thing. Sounds like a bunch of other folks were, too! I jumped on the $50 TrimUI Smart Pro to grab a color I didn't have, so excited to see how the triggers have improved.

I've had my RG35XX H for a little while now and I've been having a lot of fun with it. First game i played was Tekken 5 from the PSP and I didn't encounter any issues with it at all. Next step is getting a mini HDMI so I can plug it into my TV

Currently, batocera, which was on Anbernica, has changed its name to KNULLI and will also be available on Trimui. The first version is already available

When installing batocera on the RG35XXH, do you have to insert the second SD upon first boot up to initialize that one for the roms and/or bios or should insert the second sd card after and go from there?

Thanks for the comparison. Unfortunately where I live the TrimUI Smart Pro has always been 15-25 USD more expensive than RG35XX H (and its price equivalent is the non-Pro one). I would've picked up the Smart Pro in a heartbeat if they're at the same price point.

New revision triggers for TSP have basically the same travel, resistance and feel of the r1/l1. I was pleasantly surprised at how useable they were. Unit also shipped with 1.0.3 firmware.

Otherwise my recommendation is to not buy a handheld based on potential future development, especially if you don’t plan to do any of that yourself.

I am kind of disappointed that despite ordering after people were saying it was fixed I got a unit with the worse triggers AND through normal use the narrow strips of plastic between the shoulder and trigger button is now cracked on both sides which caused one shoulder button to seize up for a while until I loosened the nearby screw

Just going to say I'm glad I picked the H, haven't noticed said static noise at all. Although the white smart is the best looking imo. I have a Miyoo mini v4 that I use for RPG gameboy games, the H for pretty much everything PSOne and under, and my steam deck for everything else.

I have them both here as well. I am amazed by the sleep mode of the smart pro as well. But muOS boot time of 5 secs on „the H“ compensates this imho. Also, i prefer the screen size and aspect on the H, it fits better to what the devices can play comfortable. I will keep both and see what still comes regarding cfw.

How about rgb30? Which one is better?

Why compare them? Because you have both, same as me. I like physical design of TrimUI but I hate the normal interface but Knuli is in testing for both so both will be able to run batocera which is what I prefer to run.

would you consider doing a moonlight demo with the smart pro?

Love seeing your reviews and guides, but as I'm just getting into retro gaming, they are quite often over my head. I'm currently using my Samsung phone, the S23 Ultra, and would love a guide on controllers, etc., that would enhance the gameplay, as I'm not yet ready to jump to a standalone handheld.

know im a bit late to the party but can anyone give any input on the portability of the 35xx h vs the pocket flip?? ive been thinking about replacing my miyoo mini v3 with something like the 35xx h, but i already own a pocket flip and from what i can tell the footprint and weight of the pocket flip is very similar to the xx h but with the 5'' screen basically slapped on the front. is the size/weight of the pocket flip really significant over the xx h?

I know i add to the confusion but... Trimui smart pro vs powkiddy rgb10 max3? I got the latter for 80€ shipping included in the initial sale while the trimui casted arounf 70, then it dropped to 50 and i felt I had made a mistake... I love my rgb10 max3 (except the name, of course...) but probably for almost half price the trimui would be better?

idk i got my Smart Pro this week and so far i don't mind the triggers. theyre serviceable imo.

If no L3 AND R3 Then How Do I Get Into The Menus Of Arcade Games Like Ms Pac Man , Rompers ETC ....

i bought the xxH in the end because i want a device smaller than my phone and can easily fit in my pocket for short play time while on the train. also the sleep mode works better now for xxH. Anbernic is constantly trying to update their software and I really like that.

I’m hoping you see this but can you run a test for me? Dreamcast Marvel vs Capcom 2 how does it run?

Super in-depth and I really appreciate that. Good comparison video. For the stuff that matters to me (D-pad and screen, mostly) it seems like the TrimUI Smart Pro is the easy winner. Interesting that you talked about how terrible the TrimUI Smart sounded yet in the video it was the louder of the two, although both sounded pretty awful. You don't buy a retro handheld for the speakers it seems LOL

Moreover 4/3 for old games is better in my opinion.

I have the H and I've been looking at the TrimUI like the guy in that meme. I think I would choose the H again over the Trim, but it seems the Trim could make some moves in the future with volcan. My H cannot bluetooth audio. The H has new Stock firmware, but you must flash it to an sd. The new stock OS runs way more games at higher end better. I know for your vid it was "out the box" but the H can play many Dreamcast and PS1 games with little issue now on updated stock. The nintendo DS screen real estate is nice for DS players. I like tante in the vertical arcade section on the H. It would look great on the Trim if you could achieve this, I'm sure you can. Thanks for the well timed comparison!

The H can do BT Audio with Batocera/Knulli and some other CFWs.

The h has a HDMI output so you can hook up wireless controllers and play multi player on the flat screen tv. That's a must have for me

Got the h but it feels uncomfortable for me, just ordered the trimui for 45 bucks hopefully it feels alot better.

First time I heard about the static hiss on the H, as I didn't hear it before (and tried it before commenting, full volume and speakers to my ear, on Batocera v40). Could be a hardware issue on the unit. When I was looking for my 1st emulation handheld (on a budget) the Trimui Smart Pro & RG35XX H were the 2 I was looking at seriously. I weighed my choices but price won out as the price gap - RG was $52, Trim was $77 - was not negligible. But the trim is definitely a winner for the bigger screen, a boon to anyone with bad eyesight.

How did you know my exact dilemma at the moment 😂

Both of these are awesome for a sub $50 handheld. I'm pretty happy with the H with muOS, but lacks some features at the moment. I find myself going for the Trimui more though, with the nicer screen and more comfortable feel. The software is a bit quirky but got plenty of features. Sleep mode is amazing. Unfortunately analogs are garbagio. I'd say go for the H if you prefer something smaller (big screen ends up being mostly bezels), actually want to use the analogs, or hate clicky buttons lol. Or wait for the 28XX. RP2S is a good upgrade but don't sleep on the RG505, goes for the same price these days and the screen is just perfect for PSP.

The out of the box performance is miles ahead on the H. I have the H and had the Trimui for 2 days and I sent it back. The Trimui feels better in the hands (on the one i had the triggers were even great, no pb with them), but the performance was horrible for me. I also found it way less intuitive than the H. Somehow since the screen is bigger the games looked more pixelated and ugly imo tbh, and I couldn't figure out how to scale them better (keep in mind i'm new to all this). A lot of games were not playing right, etc. On the H i have had no issues. On top of that, for the from factor that it has, i would want the Trimui for ps1 and above, but it can't play it, so it's moot for me. I'm aware the performance can be enhanced with a lot of tinkering but that's too much for me, personally. If you're into that then go for it. The H plays psp and n64 and NDS out of the box without issue (for me), so it's a no brainer. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

If u like play solo/alone, choose trimui, coz rg35xx got hdmi out n extra usb,can play 2 players games with friend

For me the 4:3 screen and pocket factor was the main reason to buy the H. Love it and for me DreamCast performance was the biggest surprise. Rayman 2 is a joy to play on it.

Is a Bluetooth/DS4 controller compatible with the Trimui for playing Retroarch, as it is with the Ambernic [...]H?

That audio test was... odd. You don't play with handheld console put on the table, and given that TrimUI has built-in speaker - it resonated with the table (which made it somewhat louder than speakers from "H" which were not facing the table). Correct way to do an audio test would be to actually hold both devices with microphone looking down on them (as your ears would be placed). It seems that TrimUI from your test has better (Stronger) speaker, but it really doesn't matter as you made audio-screen from the table. Beside that, nice vid man. Thank you for this review.

I disagree about equal performance! "H" has a screen resolution of 640x480, while TRIMUI Smart Pro has 1280x720 and displays approximately the same frame rate. It's like comparing rtx 4060 for FHD and rtx 4070ti for QHD, the frequency is the same, which means the performance is equal? No, TRIMUI Smart Pro is more productive than "H".

Both the games are running the same settings in the video. The correct comparison would be like a 750ti on a 720p screen vs a gt1030 on a 4k screen both running a game rendered at 720p. Yes I'm using low end hardware so it's easier to visualise the 4k screen is pointless if the hardware can't make use of it. 1 will naturally run slightly better than the other but close enough framerate. Similar performance. The trimui running the games on the video is outputting the same resolution with the rg35xx h. It's just stretched to the correct aspect ratio. It would be different if the trimui is running ppsspp at 2x and the rg35xx at 1x but that is not the case here. Saying all that the screen isn't completely useless, easier to run systems like GBA will naturally look better on the trimui because we can bump up the resolution and still fills up the screen with integer scaling. It has a better screen and possibly a slightly better performance on some games, not enough to make a big deal of. If you can't run elden ring on 750ti, you still can't run it on the 1030 either kind of case. It doesn't matter if 1 has 5 fps more than the other.

Can't comment on other KZreadrs, just going off my experience and devs as well as others who notice the same thing :) Either way, not a big deal.

I got the h and I can't complain at that price

Does this have every Pokémon game ever made, or the joysticks Hall effect and can I cloud game from my Xbox?

Does the trimui comes with alot of games on the SD card?

Just the video I needed. I have the 35xxh and was considering the trimui but sounds like it would not be prudent for value

The Trimui Smart Pro doesn't get a lot of love but it's an amazing device for the price. It has no competition on that price-bracket.

$49.92 all in for an RG35XX H on AliExpress and it comes with the OS card that has 5500 games installed. The only options I found in that price point for the Trim UI were system only

It's a never ending pursue of wanting it to work with something it actually doesn't. I have a x18s that people said it could run gamecube, but it doesn't and controls are pretty bad. So I ended up using my s20fe that are meant to stay at home for banking apps to play ps2 and gamecube, bought the day before yesterday a rg35xx plus for n64 and below, now after some searching it seems n64 is not well playable on it and no analog sticker makes it really rough for this. Now i want to buy the rg35xx h or the trimui. It NEVER ENDS. And in Brazil there's a new law you can only buy 50 dollar and under products without an abusive 100 percentage tax, so for me, right now, i can't go up in category. 😅 Neverending pursue of what we do not have 🤷🏻‍♂️

These aren’t close enough in price for me to be comparable really. The trim is quite a bit more expensive. I’m not sure where you’re getting this for $50. At $90 for the trim you might as well get a retroid 2s. I still really enjoyed the comparison though. I Always wondered how the chips in these two would compare to each other.

Just ordered a TSP for $55 and free shipping from Aliexpress, and it looks like they've gone on flash sales for as low as $35.

Trimui for me because I have big hands

I love the form factor of the H, but long-term use shows a lot of its issues. Even scouring Reddit, every day someone is having an issue with the H, (especially custom firmware) either power-related or network related. Not having syncthing work correctly is a deal-breaker for me. The Trim UI looks interesting though.

I have both. I think most of the issues on the H are caused by bad sd cards and third party OSs. The stock OS is pretty good ( better than the TrimUI IMO). If you want something really small, get the H. If you want s big screen, get the TrimUI.

People are mostly bumping into known bugs in a pre-alpha custom firmware. That should pretty much all be fixed by the time Knulli actually gets a stable release. Once that's done, the TrimUI Smart Pro is getting supported next, so they'll be running the same software.

NGL the Trimui Smart Pro is definitely better. The only thing holding the RG35XX H back is the 4:3 screen. If it had a 3:2 screen on it, it would (probably) be slightly better than the Trimui Smart Pro. 4:3 screens are good for most but not all retro gaming plus ports are better on 16:9, 5:3, and 3:2 screens. Also the L3 and R3 on the RG35XX would be an instant win.

If ly the Rg35xx h was GBA ergonomically shaped, I would be sold %1000
