Starting Your Device For The First Time; Why Do I Need A Google Account - Sony Xperia XZ Premium User Manual

Screen covers and protectors may help you protect your device against damage.
We recommend you use only those screen covers intended for your Xperia™
device. The use of third party screen protection accessories may prevent your
device from working correctly by covering sensors, lenses, speakers, or
microphones and can invalidate the warranty.

Starting your device for the first time

It is recommended that you charge the battery for at least 30 minutes before
starting up your device for the first time. You can still use your device while it is
charging. For more information on charging, see
page 35.
The first time you start your device, a setup guide helps you to configure basic
settings, personalise your device and sign in to your accounts, for example a
Google™ account.

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 the
Play Store™ application, which gives you access to the Google Play™ online store
for downloading Android applications. To get the most out of these services, you
need a Google account. For example, a Google account enables you to do the
following:
• Download and install applications from Google Play.
• Synchronise your email, contacts and calendar using Gmail.
• Chat with friends using the Duo™ application.
• Synchronise your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™
web browser.
• Identify yourself as the authorised user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
• Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the Find my device
services.

It is crucial that you remember your Google account username and password. In some
situations, you may need to identify yourself for security reasons using your Google
account. If you fail to give your Google username and password in such situations, your
device is locked. Also, if you have more than one Google account, make sure to enter the
details for the relevant account.
