One of the comments under that article is also interesting:

"Qihoo 360 [the manufacturer of the Xplora] was banned from the Google Play store long ago for multiple violations of Google's developer rules including tricking users into installing their app by hijacking the users mobile WebView browser with fake virus warnings."

Qihoo’s Wikipedia page is listing additional controversies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360

Wow, that's quite a list. And this company owns its own certificate authority.
