Nothing special at all.
All you need is your Gmail account and an Android device, and you
already have both of them.

Get all your contacts from where ever you have them, and export them
to a CSV file. I did that from Yahoo way back when, and Gmail imported
them all (on the desktop, not on Android).

Here is what Google says
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/12118?hl=en

Then you spend several hours cleaning them, merging duplicates,
...etc. Yes, it is tedious, but definitely worth the effort.

Once you do that, you now sync your android device with your Gmail
account. Automagically, everything will be kept in sync for you. You
edit a contact on the phone, and it is on your desktop, and vice
versa.

This is the best selling point of Gmail and Android.
