Before You Start
This TRIMUI Brick setup guide is written for new owners who want a calm, practical first-use checklist. The goal is simple: charge the device, check the basics, protect it for travel, and make sure your setup feels comfortable before longer play sessions.
1. Charge the Handheld First
Before changing settings or testing games for a long time, fully charge your TRIMUI Brick with a reliable USB-C cable and a safe power adapter. A full first charge helps you evaluate battery behavior more accurately during the first few sessions.
2. Check the Screen and Controls
Turn on the device and spend a few minutes checking the display, buttons, D-pad, shoulder buttons, and menu navigation. Make sure everything feels responsive and that the screen brightness is comfortable for your room.
3. Review Storage Options
Storage needs depend on your library. If you plan to keep more games, themes, save files, or firmware files, choose a larger TF card from a reliable brand. Keep important files backed up before making changes to any card.
4. Check Firmware Carefully
Firmware can affect system stability, interface behavior, and compatibility. If you are looking for official firmware links, use our TRIMUI firmware download page as a starting point and read release notes before updating.
5. Adjust Comfort Settings
Small changes can make the handheld feel better in daily use:
- Lower brightness indoors to reduce eye strain
- Set volume to a comfortable level before starting games
- Learn the menu shortcuts you use most often
- Test a few different game types to understand controls
6. Add Basic Protection
If you plan to carry the device outside, a case and screen protector are worth considering. Compact handhelds are easy to bring anywhere, which also means they are more likely to share space with keys, cables, chargers, or other items in a bag.
7. Keep a Simple Backup Habit
Back up your important files before firmware changes or storage changes. This is especially useful for save files, configuration files, themes, and custom settings.

You can use the handheld by itself, but a case, screen protector, and quality charging cable make ownership easier, especially if you travel with it.
Should I buy TRIMUI Brick or Smart Pro S?
