Do majority of smart handsets OS today support v6?

Majority of people I know (due to economic factors) own lowend android handsets with no support for v6. This group 
forms majority of eyeballs that contribute revenue to local Telecoms whose network is heavily CGNAT.

Handsets - Cameron would be in a better place than I to discuss this, but certainly anything used to connect to his 
network (T-Mobile) does, and enables access with IPv4 turned off. That includes at least iPhone (the handset I use to 
access his network), and Android. https://thirdinternet.com/ipv6-on-mobile-devices/

As to other systems, Apple and Linux platforms, and more recently Windows, supports IPv6, and has for quite a while. 
Issues there tend to be in specific applications (due to the socket interface).
