UNIMAX - is that's the same outfit which OEMed for DNS from recent news, and been caught doing the same in India, and few African countries?

Could you please elaborate what is meant by "OEMed for DNS"?

DNS is probably a typo of ANS (American Network Solutions). OEM is "Original Equipment Manufacturer", and "OEMed" means "we make the phone but put your brand on the phone so you appear to be the OEM".

So they seem to be saying UNIMAX may be the actual manufacturer of ANS phones.

Manufactured phones under contract for DNS - a retail chain in Russia which got hit by preinstaled malware https://therecord.media/malware-found-preinstalled-in-classi...
