  You don't need to login to Google to use an Android. Only if you want to use Google Play. Either way, you don't need to personally login with your own account.

For android phones, sometimes the people setting it up will just install customer selected apks from a usb drive; whatever version they happen to have, and when (if) those versions expire, come back to the store to update.
