Although the first feature we show comes out in the middle of the video, we find it very, very interesting. It is a small assistant who has included the signature on their devices. It’s not exactly like Assistant, Siri or even Bixby. It’s much simpler, and it seems more intuitive. What this little assistant does, which seems to be anchored on the home screen, is to notify us of pending notifications. For example, if we receive a call and we do not pick up the phone. It will warn us by means of an icon, and we will be able to realize the option that we want with just to press it.

Another interesting feature shown in the video is the possibility to select, for example, a written telephone number, a box will appear, and we can make a call from there. The same goes for postal addresses; we can directly access Google Maps. Another new feature is more modes for smart settings of Xperia devices: Gaming Mode, etc. In addition, some applications have also been redesigned, such as the clock. Now it is more similar to the Android Stock application, it also includes new features.
