  • Comparing the second generation Nexus 7 to the first, we notice a drastic change in body type.

  • The second generation (left) is thinner, narrower, and taller than its beefier predecessor, and lacks texture on the rear panel.

  • Other obvious changes include the addition of a rear-facing camera, and an upgrade to stereo sound. There are now three grilles (serving two speakers): two at the base, and one up top.

  • It also appears that while the micro USB port remains in place, the headphone jack has been…transported.
