Hi Steve.
It's not just Sansung though is it? The following page makes interesting
reading for android users and the fragmented nature of operating system
upgrades. Only 10% of handsets using version 6 after nearly 12 months and
chances are that manufacturer take up of version 7 will be even less than
that.

So, to keep up with the latest operating system, according to the article,
you could either screw your warranty by rooting your phone or buy a new
phone every 12 months...
Regards.
Kevin

Hi Saqib,
Yes, this is one thing I love about Samsung (Not). They are very slow to
update. You will get security updates, but not Operating System updates.
It is reported that the A7 will get 6, but when is a mystery.
No, you will lose some Talkback functionality in Android 5. It's a nice
little tablet, if only they will update to 6.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Samsung Tab A7
Hi. I have recently purchased the new Samsung A7 tablet. Unfortunately this
device is running Android 5.1 much to my dismay! Another issue is that I’m
not seeing options for moving apps in the Talkback context menu on this
device where they appear on my Motorola 4g. Is this because I’m not running
Android 6? This device is a 2016 model and I thought Samsung would of put
Android 6 on it. § ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following
