A Chinese court has published a verdict on a contentious issue involving the Chinese smartphone maker Gionee.

The court detailed that more than 20 million Gionee phones were intentionally injected with Trojan Horse via an app between December 2018 and October 2019.

The report adds that this particular app was used as a tool to profit from users through unsolicited ads and other illegitimate means.

Although shocking, this seems to be a common practice with cheap Chinese smartphones, including Tenco and Infinix, who were also found guilty of the same malicious activity.
