Virtualization on Android has been promised for exactly as long as nix-on-droid exists. I'm aware, I don't have any devices that can do it and I'd love to do just that that and no longer be bothered with the proot overhead and run the real NixOS, but it's only available on select Android 16 devices, some vendors resist exposing that at all and the rollout to everyone's pocket might take another decade.

Android 16 has been recently released with virtualization support, which allows running latest Nix in a VM with root access out of the box.
It has a Terminal app that runs a Debian-based Linux VM with root access and can run graphical apps as well.
Nix can be installed on it in multi-user mode without issues.
It may be possible to replace Debian with NixOS, either via a disk image or nixos-in-place,
if anyone manages to get that done, would be curious to hear.
