On top of the major tariff headlines, many people may have missed the datail about the "De Minimis" exemption which applies to all purchases from Aliexpress - now ending in a few weeks. I'm sure Aliexpress will find a way to reduce the cost from this (US distribution warehouses, other supply chain adjustments?), but the fee is $25 minimum per item! Whatever you're thinking about buying on this site should be purchased ASAP. You may not be able to get these prices again after this month. Take advantage while you can, IMO.
Anbernic, Powkiddy, and Miyoo are all running various promotions also, and coupon codes are available. You can use "newusoff10" for $10 off on orders over $40, just use a new email address. There is also a $6 off $59 coupon. Basically, you can get any of these handhelds for around $50 right now. Just make sure you're buying from a reputable seller. (none of these codes will stack with the Trimui deal, it has a better coupon)
If you're new to this (as I was a few months ago) I recommend checking out "Retro Game Corps". He has really great videos on Youtube, and a website with written guides and reviews. A serious wealth of knowledge. Seems to be unbiased in general, not a paid sponsor. His review on this one:

Hmm, it appears something else could be going on (as I'm 100% certain it was never deleted or hidden from search by SD). If/when you may happen to have time to check, if you search TrimUI Smart Pro in the search box (either in the app or on the website), does the ~$38 thread I linked to in the previous post not turn up in the search results on your end?
I was able to find it both logged in and logged out when using that search term. I suspect that it's possible your settings could possibly be set so that the Deal Talk subforum is not included when using the search tool. Note the screenshot featuring the two red arrows below (it's a pic of the website in 'Classic' mode). On the left-hand side, you can see that subforums can be individually checked to on or off. If Deal Talk is set to off in your personal settings, that could exclude it from search results on your side. Thanks!
EDIT: For example, if you search R36S, you should see all of the old expired threads for that (there are no active threads for it currently). If the old R36S threads show up in the search results for you, then that means the Deal Talk forum visibility is properly set to on in your settings. The other possibility is that you could have clicked 'ignore' on the ~$38 TrimUI Smart Pro thread by mistake; which would hide it altogether (until you go to the Ignored Threads tab on your profile here and 'un-ignore' the thread by clicking Delete on it). Clicking ignore on a thread is only possible on the website (not the app) afaik.

Unlike a lot of reviewers as well, he gives his feelings as well as recognition if a device isn't for his preferences, but very clearly still quality. I know a lot of people review vertical handhelds and the Miyoo Mini is super popular. We had OG game boys growing up - no thank you from me with that form factor in 2025. Totally appreciate honest reviewers that recognize their preferences and uses are not universal.
If 'Show Expired Deals on Frontpage' is already on or doesn't work when you turn it on, try this: search for (as an example) TrimUI Smart Pro in the search box. Click on Filter (next to Sort), then click 'Forums', then click 'All' or 'Discussion Forums'. That should turn up all results, including expired threads. It used to do this automatically; so I'm not sure what may have changed, perhaps with the latest update (?). It seems to be the Android app that's affected, because seeing expired threads on the iOS version of the app is working without having to tinker with any of the settings (I tried both Android and iOS). I'll pass this along to the dev team as a heads up

The widescreen seems appealing but almost none of the systems this device is capable of take advantage of the wide screen. So for most content you'll just have an unnecessarily large device with letterboxing.
It's great for portmaster titles, but this device isn't compatible with a number of important portmaster titles (see the portmaster site for the list).
It also doesn't have L3 and R3 buttons which many competing devices have.
The aftermarket firmware options also aren't great (in my opinion). Crossmix is decent though.
All that said, this is a well made device and looks nice and professional and has decent performance.
It's more like a $65 device sold for 40-50. It's not a $100+ type of device. I like it but you can tell it's a cheaper one. Not a deal breaker though for $50
Not sure how much that 27% less 'horsepower' number will impact playability of some of the games that are on the verge of playability.... Anyone?

Raising prices will make them sell less, and get stuck with worthless inventory.
