Android™ – what and why?

Your Xperia™ from Sony runs on the Android platform. Android devices can perform

many of the same functions as a computer and you can customise them to your own

needs. For example, you can add and delete applications, or enhance existing

applications to improve functionality. On Google Play™ you can download a range of

applications and games from a constantly growing collection. You can also integrate

applications on your Android™ device with other applications and with online

services that you use. For example, you can back up your contacts, access your

different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your

appointments, and engage in social networking.
Android™ devices are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available

and your device supports this new software, you can update your device to get new

features and the latest improvements.

Your Android™ device is pre-loaded with Google™ services. To get the most out of the

provided Google™ services, you should have a Google™ account and sign in to it when you

first start your device. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in

Android™.

New software releases may not be compatible with all devices.
