Straight talk and Vulkan

[Henrea4]

Ok. So I'm seriously considering upgrading to this phone from my old S5 through Straight talk. It says this device ships with Android M but the S7 is actually capable of Vulkan API support without having to update to Nougat (Straighttalk doesn't do firmware updates for some reason) Anyway, can anyone confirm or deny that the Straighttalk (Tracfone) Galaxy S7 supports Vulkan? Thanks in advance.

I just went ahead and bought this phone. The box says it runs Marshmallow but in Settings it says its running Android 7.0. So this phone SHOULD support Vulkan but I tried a couple of games (Hit and Need For Speed No Limits) and they look nothing like that Vulkan showcase video they released before the Galaxy S7 launched. As a matter of fact, the overall gaming performance is only marginally better than my rooted (no overclocking) S5. Can't say I'm not disappointed.
