      Sorry for being unclear: - for Google accounts created and Android smartphone configured before GDPR (25/5/2018), consent is considered valid under GDPR - for Android smartphone configured AFTER 25/5/2018, the consent is considered invalid, whatever the Android version or the time that the phone is sitting on the shelf, or whether the Google account already exist or not. - moreover the consent is invalid for the Google account creation during the android smartphone configuration Google is fined "only" for what happen AFTER the GDPR (25/5/2018): android configuration and account creation.
