any backdoors to the Soyes xs11 phone?

[blueagent004]

my co-worker bought one of these mini smartphones recently called "soyes xs11", i'm thinking of getting one but am worried about chinese backdoor when adding a google account to it, especially after reading a review on amazon talking about such backdoors.

so does anyone have one of these phones? would it be possible to manually remove the backdoor or reflash a stock android 6 with knox to it?

thanks for letting me know.

This device is made in China.
That right there is a red flag to just stay away from.
Runs on 3g network which is ancient and going bye bye.

Sold by Amazon and Temu, which is crap.

I would buy something a little more well known and trustworthy. You can still get good deals with some shopping

Yeah, I agree -- stay away from that kind of junk. They're really only good for amusement value.
