It's easy to use the split screen mode, but there is no way of knowing which app supports it - you have to start it first and then try to snap it. If a running app supports split screen, you will be able to snap it at the top or bottom of the screen right from the rolodex. The small apps are gone and are replaced by a Split Screen feature. The app switcher is, similarly, a vanilla Android affair, with the 3D rolodex look and a End All Apps button. It's the way stock Android is set up, but we miss that option there.

The app search works here too, and you can go into a management state, allowing you to uninstall multiple apps instead of having to drag each one to a virtual waste bin.

There's an animation that slides the lockscreen away from your thumb (as if you pushed it out of the way). ![]() It provided an excellent user experience on the Xperia XZ Premium - it's fast and accurate. The fingerprint reader introduced on the Z5 series of Xperias is integrated into the Power button on the right side. It can be images from the gallery, 4K videos in any video player, YouTube clips, videos from the Amazon Prime Video app or other streaming apps, and we'd also imagine - compatible 4K games.
