Getting started
Androidwhat 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 customize 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
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 that
your device supports, you can update your device to get new features and the latest
improvements.
Your Android device comes 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.
