The New Nexus 7 has been broken down to reveal wireless charging and easy fixes

- 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.
The new Nexus 7's battery has also been confirmed as 3950mAh, which is a smaller capacity than the original Nexus 7 that had a capacity of 4326 mAh. However, it provides an extra hour of battery life thanks to lower power consumption.
