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.
