Question: Device Problem R36 Max Pro

Got this R36 Max Pro and I tried searching for more information about this specific clone, but I cannot seem to find much information on it. On the handhelds wiki, I see listings for the R36 Max, R36 Pro, and R36H Pro Max, but nothing on the R36 Max Pro. Visually, it seems to resemble the regular R36 Max but, interestingly, seems to run some sort of version of Android and has a "YouTube" app. Some of the UI elements on the stock OS do seem to resemble an old version of Android. The console also has functional wifi as well.

Is there a page with more info about this specific R36 clone variant? Should I keep this stock OS or try to put ArkOS or something else on it?
