openGL ES versions on different devices

Question

I want to find out range of android phones that supports openGLES 1.0, 1.1, 2.0. I believe that I can use 1.1 and that should cover more that 90% percent of phones, but to be sure would be nice to find out any statistic information. I have tried to google but nothing useful so far.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Just to update this answer for June 2014.

You can view the statistics on the Android Dashboard at http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html#OpenGL

Currently,

OpenGL Version       Percentage
1.1 only             0.1%
2.0                  83.6%
3.0                  16.3%

Note that support for one particular version of OpenGL ES also implies support for any lower version (for example, support for version 2.0 also implies support for 1.1).

Answer 2

Android 2.2 and higher supports Open GL ES 2.0, so as of Feb 2 that is 58.4% of phones. Android 1.6 and higher supports Open GL ES 1.1, so that is about 96% of phones.

I think you'll be good with 1.1.
