Something-Something-Happy-Eyeballs... HE also exists because of broken
DNS, not only broken connectivity.

Other versions might thus have better HE, and of course, as it is
Android, newer versions that have that might not be available yet for
the devices that you have...

No idea if Android actually does HE though and if which version, and
even if the "OS" itself does it, it then still depends on the
application if it uses it, which unfortunately as we get a zillion
methods & libraries to actually do connects and every application does
it by-themselves more or less, it is all magic anyway...

Greets,
