are argos selling the 2012 model of the nexus 7 seeing as it's much cheaper than buying from google?

is there a way to tell if it's the 2012 or 2013 model ?

It's the 2012 model - read the specification.

Just check the resolution. 2012 model has 1280 x 800 pixels. The 2013 is 1920 x1200 pixels.

but sneaky of argos really.
they should really be making sure people know this is the older version.

only reason i noticed it as it's advertised on TV as just the "nexus 7".

It's only £30 dearer than their own not very well received tablet. Worth paying that extra £30.

I was looking at this earlier today, had to check to make sure which model it was.

Would prefer the 2gen model for it's HDMI, 2Gb RAM is also a bonus, just weighing if the extra £45 is worth it - best price I've seen is £175.

2013 model does not have HDMI, except via a Slimport cable - about £20 extra.

N7 13 has an offset face camera.

the point i'm making is that argos are not specifically stating that this is NOT the current model - they are simply saying Nexus 7.

anyone not 1005 up to date on current specs would assume they are buying the current model, and not an old discontinued model.
