Yeah, that one that's being worked on by Google.

As far as I have read only Google pixels have this from the March update and this behind developers options to use. Google has said the purpose of this is to bring more linux apps, games, and tools to Android. Samsung has there own linux- android games and tools in their Store already and in front of developers options.

I did find a pull request in the repo for the google virtualization page for exynos. So it appears it will eventually come.

The reason why I want this feature is because certain apps i can never run on my android. Like fex-emu and bizhawk. And I want to replace my laptop with my phone. It's for tool assisted speedrunning.

There's the commit that refers to android15 for galaxy phones. So hopefully it comes out tomorrow!

Did someone get this upgrade? On my S24, it looks like an older kernel, even though I have latest One UI 7 and android 15. Kernel version says 6.1.93-android14-11.

Looks like only S25 devices have the 6.6 kernel. I know it's hard to upgrade the kernel, but that would be the right thing for Samsung to do.

On samsung galaxy s23fe, it's even lower. It's android 12 kernel
