Apple usually handles the Clang port for their operating systems. The
a release lag, of course. The list has some messages about dialing in
the latest Clang to a Xcode installation.

AOSP/Android has ported Clang 3.2 and 3.3 to their NDK R9. The R8 NDK
included Clang 3.2.

Well, I imagine it would be painful to run a compiler on a phone,
though some are doing it on tablets.

More often, a cross compiler is built for a host (your desktop) for a
target (your phone or tablet).
