The Galaxy S26 Ultra may finally support Android’s Linux Terminal feature, after logs suggest Samsung is adding a key system requirement.
Log files from the Galaxy S26 Ultra suggest Samsung may finally support Android’s Linux Terminal feature after skipping it on the S25 Ultra.
The logs show support for the Android Virtualization Framework, a key requirement that was missing on Samsung’s last flagship.
With the S26 series expected to launch on Android 16 QPR2, the devices should have everything in place to support the feature.
When Google rolled out its Linux Terminal feature last year, it felt like a meaningful step forward for Android. The tool lets Android run a full Linux environment directly on the device, but Samsung’s own flagships were left out. Despite having the right hardware on paper, the Galaxy S25 Ultra didn’t support it.
