Hello,
I switched from legacy isc dhcp to the kea one in latest opnsense version.
I configured DHCP on IPv6. It is working on windows systems which get IP address, but unfortyunately Anbdroid phones do not get any ip v6 address.

If I'm not mistaken, Android doesn't support DHCPv6.  Not sure if that's changed in recent versions.

AFAIK only SLAAC works indeed :)

And mind those timers that were mentioned in another topic some time ago : Wrong timers = Weird results and strange IPv6 issues !!
