Overview
- Android Authority reports leaked Galaxy S26 Ultra logs that declare android.software.virtualization_framework support.
- The Android Virtualization Framework is the system-level prerequisite for Google's Linux Terminal, which the Galaxy S25 Ultra lacked.
- The S26 lineup is expected to ship with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 QPR2, the release that introduces AVF.
- If the feature ships, the S26 Ultra could run a full local Linux environment similar to Google's Pixel implementation.
- Coverage notes no confirmation from Samsung on feature inclusion or backporting to prior models via One UI 8.5.
