Notes
There is no ordinary browser. Search goes through Perplexity, links open in a filtered browser you cannot replace, and sideloading is blocked, so anything outside the curated store is unavailable. Play Services is replaced by microG, so the phone cannot register for RCS at all. SLEKE's own switching guide tells you to deregister before you move.
