Why Do I Need a Google™ Acount? 

 

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 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 all of 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.  
 

For more information about Android™ and Google™, go to http://support.google.com. 

 

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

already have an account. 

 

You can also sign in to or create a Google™ account from the setup guide the first 
time you start your device. Alternatively, you can go online and create an account at 
www.google.com/accounts. 

 

To Remove a Google™ Account 

5

Google™ account will no longer be available.
