I am no Android expert but since there are so many android based devices available in the US it's probably difficult to give a blanket answer. You probably have to ask about specific models. As far as I know only Apple devices are a sure bet to have FeliCa support globally since I think the iphone7.
For example, per Google only the Japanese Pixel 6a has FeliCa.
