[needmorewood]

hi im trying to buy a nexus 7 2013 (second hand) this guy messaged me and he doesnt know if its the 2013 edition. he seems to be a very "technologically challenged person" (idk how to say that) 
whats an easy way for him to identify it as a 2013 edition.
all help is greatly appreciated

Nexus 7 2013 has the word NEXUS on the back and is read holding the unit in landscape. Nexus 7 2012 has the word NEXUS on the top 1/3 of the back when holding the unit in portrait. See here for a good picture - scroll down to "Design", 2012 version on the left.

When did he bougth it?

That's not a defendant answer cause he could have brought a 2012 version in 2013.

That's not a defendant answer cause he could have brought a 2012 version in 2013.

But if he bougth it in 2012 then we would know it's a 2012 one.
