Download Sony Exclusive Apps from Playstore on any Android Device.

Install all the Sony Xperia Apps on any Android phone with the help of Sony Enabler and download Apps directly from Google Play Store.

How nice would it be if somehow you could install Sony Xperia exclusive apps right from the Play Store, on your non-Xperia device? Sony developed Apps are few of the most wanted Apps for any Android devices. While some of the Apps are available for everyone, the core Xperia apps such as Music, Album, etc. are Xperia exclusives.

Previously Sony Apps were updated through update packages sent in form OTA to Xperia Devices. But lately, Sony Started using Google Play Store to distribute its applications with regular updates making things easy for both Sony & its users. Also, these apps do not run on other Android devices as they are incompatible.

Today in this post I will tell you how you can download and install all Sony Exclusive Apps from play store right into your Android device. A senior member at XDA Zenith has developed a flashable zip file called as Sony Enabler. Sony Apps Enabler is basically a ported version of Sony devices framework files. This deceives Playstore into recognizing your android as a Sony device.

Therefore, you get to install and update all Sony device specific apps directly from Playstore. Thus saving few bucks by allowing you to download all the Xperia Apps on Android.
