Why do I need a Google account?

Your 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. 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 Google 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 it to identify yourself for security reasons. If you fail to give your

more than one Google account, make sure to enter the details for the relevant account.
