Sure there is if you have a decent Router, then the DNS is whatever the DHCP on the Router hands out.
But most ISP DNS are more private than 3rd party. Never use Google as it exists to track activity.
Also if the mac address or device name doesn't change a decent DHCP server can always assign a pre-decided IP.
I have DHCP disabled on my ISP supplied router as it has no bridge mode for a separate router and use DHCP server on an Open WRT router that's not used to route.

I've seen loads of Android stuff with no manual or Static IP, only ability to enter the key/password.
