I-Sony isesimweni esibucayi futhi kukhona abaningi bethu abazibuza ukuthi belukuphi lolo chungechunge olusha lwe-X ushiye ngaphandle komdlalo ku-Z lapho sathola khona isiphetho esiphakeme kakhulu. Yize ingakwazi manje ukwethula ama-smartphones e-Android ahambelana nezidingo zabaningi, iyaqhubeka nokwethula isoftware ethakazelisa kakhulu futhi sikubonile lokhu kuMarshmallow beta eneROM engcono kakhulu esiyibonile i-Xperia. Ibuye yakwazi ukukhipha ukubuka kuqala kwe-Android n kwedivayisi engeyona ye-Nexus.
Manje, u-Sony unethuba lokuzihlukanisa nabanye ngenguqulo yakamuva ye-Xperia Home ku-beta anayo ukusekelwa okugcwele kwe-Google Now. Yisiqalisi sokuqala esinamandla okufana nezici njengesiqalisi se-Google Now, ngakho-ke sinethemba lokuthi kungekudala ezinye iziqalisi zohlelo lokusebenza, ezifana neNova Launcher, zizokwazi ukuhlanganisa ngokugcwele lezi zici ezifana nomyalo wezwi «Ok, I-Google ».
Ukuze usebenzise lesi siqalisi, udinga ukuba nefoni ye-Xperia (asiwazi amamodeli aqondile). I-beta evuliwe ukuze ubambe iqhaza kuyo kusukela kulesi sixhumanisi (okwamanje ayisebenzi, mhlawumbe izosebenza ngokuhamba kwesikhathi). Uzothola umlayezo ngezansi kwesikrini ukuze uqinisekise ukubamba kwakho iqhaza ku-beta. Ngakho-ke uzothola ukufakwa kwesiqalisi ukuze ukwazi ukuzama lesi sici esisha esithakazelisa kakhulu.
Ngakho-ke uma isiqalisi esibuyekeziwe sisebenza, ku- yenza kusebenze i-Google Now kuzilungiselelo zohlelo lokusebenza, uzokwazi ukuhambisa isikrini esikhulu uye kwesobunxele, ukuze ngokuswayipha ukwazi ukufinyelela i-Google Now njengoba kwenzeka ngesiqalisi se-Google. Le ibukeka futhi izwakala njengesiqalisi se-Google Now.
Sisale sizibuza ukuthi ngabe uSony ukwazile kanjani ukuthola lesi sici, kusukela iziqhumane ezivela eceleni azinayo ithuba lokuthola le nketho.
