Linux Terminal
Samsung's newly launched Galaxy S26 series supports Android's Linux terminal feature only on certain models. The Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus enable the functionality, while the Snapdragon-equipped S26 Ultra does not. This development follows Google's introduction of the terminal for Pixel phones last year.

Leaked logs from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra indicate the presence of the Android Virtualization Framework, suggesting it could run a full Linux terminal similar to Google Pixel devices. This feature, introduced by Google in Android 16's QPR2 update, enables a complete Linux environment on smartphones. The S26 Ultra is expected to launch with One UI 8.5 based on the same Android version.
