After running both along each other I have concluded that a phone without the Linux terminal is not something I will buy, which is a shame since I think the S25 ( eventually S26?) are awesome phones.</P> Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:40:56 GMT Lungan 2026-01-28T07:40:56Z https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/mobile-apps-services/will-the-linux-terminal-be-enabled-on-samsung-phones/m-p/14056028#M54643 <P>I am planning on buying a new phone the coming year.
