is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T350 8" going to get Android 7

[AC Question]

The Android 7 upgrader on my Android 6 tablet says it is suitable, but according to Samsung the o/s has not been released yet to tablets and they cannot say if my tablet will be included.

Not likely. Especially since it looks like they're going to introduce the next generation later this year:

As the owner of a beloved P355, I hope that I'm wrong. Especially since they haven't released the S3 in an 8" form factor...

Wow Samsung... It's 2017 and that's the half *** upgrade they are going to give it? Article has it wrong, it's a Snapdragon 425 quad core, not the 435, can tell based on the graphics onboard. Still not a full had screen either. What exactly is an upgrade there?
