Update firmware, backup files and more on your Sony Android phone.
Sony's Xperia Companion is a useful and official tool for Sony cell phones which provides access to many useful tools.
The main layout of the application gives quick access to tools such as software update, updating the firmware on the device; software repair which can help resolve bricking issues by reinstalling firmware; backup and restore tools which can help prevent data loss and file transfer for sharing files between your PC and phone.

The speed of the software isn't bad by any stretch and its clean layout makes for an easy task of keeping a copy of your files on your PC in case you happen to get some corrupted.
