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.
•
Synchronize your email, contacts and calendar using Gmail.
•
Chat with friends using the Duo™ application.
•
Synchronize your browsing history and bookmarks using the Google Chrome™
web browser.
•
Identify yourself as the authorized user after a software repair using Xperia™
Companion.
•
Remotely find, lock or clear a lost or stolen device using the Find my device
services.

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, be sure to enter the
details for the relevant account.
