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 is 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™.

Synchronise email, contacts and the calendar.

Chat with friends using the Hangouts™ application.

Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks.
