I believe most android smartphones can actually do it: I often rely on having my phone connected to wifi and also being an AP at the same time (exactly to make up for the absence of simple direct connection between my devices, using adb and some other software you can "emulate" what apple is doing with AWDL, this wifi-aware thing looks like an answer to some of my problems). Sample size is around 5 but from different brands and price ranges so I'm pretty sure it's on basically all devices.
