+ * at runtime. However, it might not always reflect the actual version available.
+ *
+ * For a more reliable method, refer to https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/graphics/opengl/about-opengl#version-check.
+ * This recommended approach is more complex to implement but offers better accuracy.
