Default is indeed 11, you can get 13. I haven't run into many compatibility issues on a phone with 9. A lot of Android TVs are on 11, so I suppose it will be supported for a long time to come. There is also the option to download latest compatible versions from APK mirroring sites, and using PWAs within Linux or Android.
