• NFC Payments: Google Wallet may not fully support NFC payment functionality on this Chinese version.
• Customization: Third-party desktop launchers might not be settable as the default.
• App Management: For critical apps, ensure you configure them to 'allow background running' and 'allow self-startup' to prevent notification delays.
