Spent all morning researchin..er cramming on libhybris

Here is what I figured- (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Libhybris should work on devices with the same GPU

OpenGL 3.1

Hardware binning

Adreno A4xx:

HDMI / eDP / DSI

OpenGL 3.1

OpenGL ES 3.0

It seems that A3xx is the sweet spot for libhybris compatibility, as you see with:

Fairphone 2, OnePlus One, OnePlus X, Nexus 5, etc

MSAA (technically required for OpenGL ES 3.0)

Texture tiling (perf boost)

HW binning (on a4xx)

OpenGL 3.2: Geometry shaders (a4xx only), MS textures

OpenGL 3.3: RGB10_A2UI textures/vertices (a3xx), dual-source blending (a4xx), timer query

OpenGL 4.0: Tessellation shaders, sample shading, ARB_gpu_shader5 features, indirect draws, lots more

OpenGL ES 3.1: Compute, SSBO, counters, images, indirect draws (a3xx may not have enough in hardware for all this)

The Vibe X3 has the Adreno 418
It may not be the best option if you are looking to hop onto Sailfish/Ubuntu/Plasma right away.
Future support looks promising.
