Have now found my answer in 'Android Headlines':
While people are upgrading their smartphones quicker than they ever have before, tablets can be a different story and it seems reasonable that the expected life of a tablet is at least that of what it is for smartphones if not longer. This doesn’t seem to be the case with the Nexus 7 2013 manufactured by ASUS, as numerous reports from users have started to pop up more commonly that their Nexus 7 2013 models are failing in a number of different ways, seemingly all related to hardware. While people having the same issues as the majority of these complaints from numerous individuals likely started long before the last couple of weeks, it would appear that a larger portion of people have started complaining with the first week of April.
Think I just have to bury it RIP
