I think that the problem is in KDE connect on PC rather than on smartphone.
Therefore, how could I downgrade KDE Neon Kde connect?

Indeed, the problem was on PC: the firewall!
Solved following these instructions: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=139460
that is:

Open gufw from app launcher
Go to the Rules tab
Click the [+] button to add a new rule
Select the direction "Both"
Select category "Network:
Select Application "KDE connect"
Click "Add"
