MECOOL KM9PRO MAX 4K is a Google TV 12.0 streaming box based on the Realtek RTD1325 quad-core Cortex-A55 SoC which we initially found in the Formuler Z Mini 4K Android 12 dongle.
Since it’s a more traditional TV box as opposed to an HDMI dongle, it adds features like 10/100Mbps Ethernet, optical S/PDIF output, an AV composite and audio jack, two USB 2.0 ports, while keeping the 4K-capable HDMI 2.1 port and WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The KM9PRO Max 4K also comes with a larger 32GB eMMC flash.

MECOOL sells the KM9PRO MAX 4K streaming box on its own store for $79.99, There aren’t many companies offering RTD1325 streaming boxes for sale, and apart from the MECOOL device and Formuler Z Mini, the only other one I can see is the Elebao/RockTec GX1 TV box. All those are certificated Google TV devices which may explain why you won’t find any on AliExpress…
