Too expensive for an insecure TV box

I got this "Android TV Box 10.0" to try out. It turns out clutter. Here is an overview. Bad: X96Q-max-pro does not support Android TV. In fact, it runs on Android OS. Very bad user interface. I have to manually enter my Google account password to access my content. - Outdated security patch (from 2019) and there is no way to update it. This is a real problem and I don't want my Google account compromised. - Comes with an unjustified price. Overpriced! On the plus side: - Lots of supported ports. Including multiple USB ports and Ethernet ports. The hardware specifications are respectable. Conclusion: I strongly advise against buying this set-top box for most customers who need a streaming device. You have many cheaper and more efficient alternatives with a much better user experience. Just make sure your device is running the official Android TV operating system. For power users: I think this is the perfect device to use as a gaming console to emulate or stream games via the Steam Link app. (You'll need a gaming PC for this and some skills to set it up.) However, there are still plenty of cheaper alternatives that can achieve this goal. Therefore, I still do not recommend this product. Thank you for taking the time to read this review and I hope you find it helpful.
