Currently it seems there is an implementation of 3 trackers

  • Adjust
  • Google Firebase Analytics
  • Mozilla Telemetry

See:
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/268768
For app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser

Looking to the history report,
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/search/org.torproject.torbrowser
it seems most of them were added during period of
August 2020 v68.12.0 (https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/144884)
and
November 2020 v10.0.3 (82.1.1-Release) (https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/152895)

Is there any chance to reduced these items?

You are confusing Tor Browser for Android with this development library which is just the core tor daemon, not the browser.

For this issue, please contact Tor Project directly here: https://support.torproject.org/ or https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/team

That said, what you are reporting is a known misunderstanding. The core Firefox browser contains those libraries, yes, but the Tor Browser build disables them. There are still remnants of the code that Exodus detects, but they are not active.
