How can I confirm whether my nexus 7 is the first version or the second?

Look at the back. If you can read "Nexus" while the tablet is in a portrait orientation, it's the 2012 model. If it's sideways, it's the 2013. The 2013 model also has a camera on the back, which the 2012 model lacks.

I think the easiest way is to look where the earphone jack is. On the second gen it is on the top. On the older version is on the bottom next to the charging port.

The nexus 7 2012 has silver trim around the edges while the nexus 7 2013 doesn't. The 2013 also has a thinner bezel on the long sides. Google both and check the images to compare with your own.

2012 version has a silver bezel & no rear camera. 2013 is all black & has a rear camera.

If your tablet was bought before July 26, 2013, it is a 1st gen. If it was bought after July 26, 2013, its a 2nd gen.

The older! I bought it without realizing that it had to say "2nd gen" to be the new one. It does not fit! If you have the new nexus don't buy. I'm having to send mine back. It was so disappointing.

You may want to look into troubleshooting with the product/tablet vendors because the one I ordered worked the first time and every time after that with my Nexus 7.

The easiest way to tell is to look at the back. If the Nexus name is in portrait mode, it's the old model. If it's larger type and in landscape mode, it the newer model. Otherwise, you can measure the width. The old model is 120mm wide, the new model is 114mm wide.

Well if you go to your settings on the tablet and scroll all the way down to about tablet click on it and it will show you what android version you have and it should say Android version 4.2.2

I got nexus 7 new, just a few months ago. So I'm assuming its the 2nd generation. It works great my toddler has dropped it several times, it still works. :-)

No it is specific to the Nexus 7 from 2012. The 2013 version needs a case only available from the Google Plus store.

I only have nexus 7 second generation and I don't know if it works with 1st gen.

It's the 2012 model, since there's the Nexus 7 2013 model with several hardware improvements. Still, the Android OS version is freely upgradeable and will work flawlessly. I just did it and loved it!

NEXUS7 ASUS-1B is Gen 1 made in 2012. NEXUS7 ASUS-2B is Gen 2 made in 2013. In the specs, find the OS (operating system). Look for Android/Jelly Bean 4.3 (2013) or 4.1 (2012).Check out website http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/122544-nexus-7-2-vs-nexus-7-what-s-the-difference or google it.

There are several minor differences between 1st gen Nexus 7 (2012) and the latest 2nd gen model (2013-?) The 1st gen Nexus does not have a camera on the back for taking photos for example, only a front facing camera.

The seller I bought from also shows version 7 and version 8. I bought two one at a time from the same vender. Both times I received version 8

First generation only. According to the manufaturer's website, covers for the new Nexus 7 are due late October.

What is ur build version etc? If you can give it then I will let you know how to proceed with the update accordingly. If you can check my review on Nexus One then you can see if urs is the same as I mentioned. If so, u can proceed. Otherwise, do let me know and I will guide properly :)

Nope, it's the 2nd gen nexus 7. The 3rd gen comes with the same Android 4.1, but it was released this year. What's the difference between 2nd and 3rd gen? Other than the price, i have no idea.

I don't have the second Gen Nexus 7 so I'm not entirely sure, however I was told it was longer than the first Gen, so I would have to say no.

Manufacturer Website is the best place to look. The Nexus 7 2nd gen has it.
