Why do I need a Google™ account?
Your Xperia™ device from Sony runs on the Android™ platform developed by Google™.
A range of Google™ applications and services are available on your device when you
purchase it, for example, Gmail™, Google Maps™, YouTube™, and Google Play™—the
online store for downloading Android™ applications. To get the most out of these
services, you need a Google™ account. For example, a Google™ account is mandatory
if you want to:
• Download and install applications from Google Play™.
• Synchronize email, contacts, and the calendar.
• Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.
• Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks.
