Well, it looks like the revolution has arrived:

Even if Jolla's software stack launches with OpenGL ES 2.0 drivers and function, do not destroy the possibility of moving the WHOLE platform to the newer standard by using sub-standard hardware in the launch devices. Sailfish v1.1 six months down the line can always adopt the newer drivers and function, ensuring that forever afterwards developers can target the new API safe in the knowledge of complete platform support.

Jolla have shown themselves forward thinking by launching Sailfish with Wayland, don't let the side down now!
I think that SoC may be MSM8930(Krait300), it has an Adreno 305 GPU. That GPU support OpenGL ES 3.0 API version.

i dont think jolla will use that chip, as base clock 1.4Ghz Dualcoreand LTE support are in for Jolla phone

maybe MSM8960...but who knows, maybe Jolla decide to OC MSM8930 ?

You can see this:

MSM8930 support LTE and qHD.it's clock speed up to 1.7GHz.

you haven't really understood this have you?

all those millions of Z10's, Q10's, Q5's. All them forever unable to adopt GLES 3.0 via the OS update.

incentive for developers of graphical apps to move to the newer API.... just about zero!
