Hi Vinny..
The minimum hardware for supporting Vulkan on our Snapdragon chips is Adreno 430 and is dependant on the device's mfg releasing an update with compatible Vulkan drivers.
And what about the opengl 3.1 requirement to run the new API? Will Nexus 6 receive Nougat via google and will it not support the new API? Does not make sense
You're right. Requirement for vulkan is OpenGL 3.1 according to Khronos Group: https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/library/overview/vulka...
Adreno 418 supports Vulkan on the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, but the current CAF release for 8992/8994, as well as the code available to partners do not support the Vulkan API.
