My windows desktop, which syncs its time off of an ntp daemon on a linux
system, the clock on my asterisk system (which syncs its time off of its
own ntp daemon from a different ISP), my Nokia X1 candy bar phone (syncs
from Golan 2g via cellcom) and my Google Nexus 4, which syncs from Golan
3g, all have the same time.

I think the update was included in KitKat, not anything older. The
android phones run the UNIX standard, a UTC clock and display according
to a time zone file.
