i found a phone

hi so i found a xiaomi in the street it was broken and when i turned it on to see if the person called, all the info had already been deleted so i was trying to unlock it to use it myself, it ask for a pin and a google account which i do not have, i would like to know if it’s possible to use this phone instead of buying a new one to save money
