Not a strange behaviour, this is a normal one.
Your phone's DHCP server announces itself as a DNS, your PC's DHCP
client complies.

And this is definitely not normal. It's most likely that your phone has
dnsmasq as a DHCP/DNS caching server, and DNS part should use whatever
forwarders your carrier provides.
So it should work (it does for me, at least).

No, you do not. What you need is to fix your phone's DHCP server
settings, but that's hard if not impossible. Because it requires
modifying phone root filesystem (which is read only), which requires
root privileges, yadda, yadda.

What you really need (assuming that you use isc-dhcp-client) is
something like:
supersede domain-name-servers <ur_correct_DNS here>;
put into /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf.
It's a hack, pinning DHCP client to a single DNS, but it's not like
you're going to move your PC somewhere (i.e. to a different network).
