The very first thing you need to do if you want to make a switch from an old Android smartphone to a new one is adding your Google account. Without a Google account, you won’t be able to install apps from the Play Store. On the Android system, a Google account is used to use Google’s services and apps installed on your smartphone. In addition to Play Store, you need your Google account to use Gmail, Google Maps, and other apps from Google.

Quick question. How to remove the Google account you have added on your old Android device? You can do so from the Settings menu.
