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.

it's doesn't mention 2012 in the spec though, hence why i asked.

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

2013 model has 2GB ram and s different processor

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.

Numbers comparison here.....

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.

I've seen this nexus 7 2012 version. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...d=290985100919 would mainly be using it for browsing maybe the odd youtube vid.
