I purchased an XGody Mate 20, advertised as Android 9.0.
Indeed, if you switch it on Settings -> About Phone reports Android 9.0:
However, when I plug the device in, Android Studio reports it to be Android 6.0:
Also the DevCheck Android App also reports the device to be Android 6.0.
Is there any way to find out which is it really? I bought this under the understanding it was an Android 9.0 device.

I’m not an expert but the about phone screen screams Android 6.0. I imagine DevCheck and Android studio are correct. The phone itself sounds like a cheap Chinese ripoff and seems fishy. With my personal opinion, I would avoid using at all costs.

Id like to note that it says build is test-keys. Any reputable stock ROM I've seen uses release-keys. This is obviously an illegitimate ROM and should not be trusted

Thanks, looks like it's android 6.0 then. I guess the only thing that would give this kind of result is a tampered with version of android, made to show these results in About Phone?
