#1. Setup Your Google Account

Setting up the Google account in your new Android phone is the first ever step you need to do with your new phone. It’s very important to setup your Google account because without having a Google account, you won’t be able to access Google Play Store to install apps and games in your device.

So, whenever you turn on your new Android phone it asks you about your Google account. Here you need to login with your Google account. If you don’t have any Google account you can create the one by tapping on New button on the screen.

Anyhow if you skipped that step or didn’t show that notification automatically, you can manually do that from settings. Go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google.

And the best thing is that it’s absolutely free.

You should also sign to your company’s accounts such as Samsung or Sony account or Moto Connect. Some of these services can connect to your Google account, while some require their own login.
