Getting started
About this User guide
This is the Xperia™ Z User guide for the Android™ 4.3 (Jelly Bean) software version.
If you're not sure which software version your device is running, you can check it via
the Settings menu. For more information about software updates, see Updating your
device .
To check the current software version of your device
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > About phone > Android version.
Android™—what and why?
Your Xperia™ from Sony runs on the Android™ platform. Android™ devices can
perform many of the same functions as a computer and you can customize them to
your own needs. For example, you can add and delete applications, or enhance
existing applications to improve functionality. On Google Play™ you can download a
range of applications and games from a constantly growing collection. You can also
integrate applications on your Android™ device with other applications and with online
services you use. For example, you can back up your contacts, access your different
email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your appointments, and
engage in social networking.
Android™ devices are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available
that your device supports, you can update your device to get new features and the
latest improvements.
Your Android™ device comes pre-loaded with Google™ services. To get the most out of the
provided Google™ services, you should have a Google™ account and sign in to it when you
first start your device. You also need to have Internet access to use many of the features in
Android™.
New software releases may not be compatible with all devices.
