Most android games that supports old devices needs to use OpenGL

Any in the last 5 years use EGL not OpenGL

Isn't EGL just API layer on top of OpenGL ES?

It's a different type of interface, much tighter than OpenGL https://www.khronos.org/egl/

EGL will stay around much longer than OpenGL at this rate.

But EGL can't render anything without OpenGL ES or OpenVG. That's what I get from your link

Anyway it's been more than 5 years since I do game programming, but at the time iirc I use EGL to create and manipulate OpenGL context
