TL;DR
- Allegedly leaked images show a new clamshell gaming handheld from TrimUI.
- It features a 4.7-inch 16:9 screen, twin sticks, and extra function buttons.
- TrimUI has an excellent track record with its Linux handhelds.
While dual-screen handhelds like the AYN Thor have largely taken over the retro gaming handheld scene, there are still some holdouts for single-screen clamshells that channel the Game Boy Advance SP more than the Nintendo DS. If that’s you, there’s good news: a set of leaked images appears to show a new 16:9 clamshell from a well-loved brand.
The renders feature a 4.7-inch clamshell with the branding TrimUI Flap X1. The widescreen device has two sticks in the lower configuration and a surprising number of function buttons. There’s the typical TrimUI menu button next to start and select, as well as four extra buttons at the top with an unknown purpose.
