    From the Unity 2021.1.0a4 release notes "Changes" section:
    • Android: Vulkan is no longer preferred over OpenGL ES when using Android 7 and for all Mali Midgard GPUs.
    Could you explain the reason for this change?

    Driver quality, I suppose.
    Android 7 was the first OS version to support Vulkan.
