T95 Android TV (Allwinner H616) includes malware right out-of-the-box
A few months ago I purchased a T95 Android TV box; it came with Android 10 (with working Play store) and an Allwinner H616 processor. It's a small-ish black box with a blue swirly graphic on top and a digital clock on the front. There's got to be thousands (or more!) of these boxes already in use globally.
There are tons of them available for purchase on Amazon
