While seemingly promoting adoption of IPv6 Google refuses to implement
DHCPv6 in Android OS. See this article:

In my own experience configuring Wi-Fi networks, Android devices
refuse pick up a stateful IPv6 address. This causes a delay during the
initial connection to the network, during which a message "No
Internet" appears for a few seconds. After that, the Internet
connection works but over IPv4 only. So much for the adoption of IPv6,
Google!
