Deletion???

Should this article be deleted? The iPad has a separate article for each generation --JohnTsams (talk) 21:46, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If there's an article for each iteration that's only because there came a day when it was decided that there was enough to say about each one. This doesn't seem the case about the new version of the N7, which would easily fit a single paragraph section in the Nexus 7 article. If the amount of info on the new N7 merited it, then it could be split into its own article. --uKER (talk) 22:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be merged with the current Nexus 7 article. Saves fragmentation and keeps everything central. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Solidsnake1211 (talk • contribs) 07:54, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's inevitable that there will be enough to warrant a separate page sooner or later. MikesPlant (talk) 10:49, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There should be one main general N7 article and links to these two pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.20.154 (talk) 00:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

There is currently no picture for the Nexus 7 (2nd generation). I am not very familiar with copyrights and all that stuff. Someone should add a picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secret Agent Julio (talk • contribs) 19:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article quality

I just corrected a sentence that said that "the Nexus 7 was the third Nexus devices using Android", but I kept on reading and the quality of the article is just terrible. There's this one that says that all Nexus devices run Android 4.3, which is certainly not true. Then it goes on to say that this Nexus' SoC is a variation of whatever processor'? A SoC and a processor are clearly different things. Then it says that the battery includes wireless charging, which is not accurate either (it's not the battery that offers the feature). --uKER (talk) 23:58, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proximity Sensor

There is no proximity sensor on the 32GB LTE EU version. This has been confirmed via different apps reporting all available sensors. I have no information about the US version, though I believe it is unlikely that it would have such a sensor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.143.83.181 (talk) 12:19, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No calling function

The device does not support regular calling function!

Codename of N7 and some other older Nexus devices

Some older nexus devices, including Nexus 7 (2013), used to have two code names. In this case, it's "Razor" and "Flo". The usage of two is kinda vague, some claim "Razor" is the "product name" and "Flo" is the device name^[1], while others say "Razor" is the firmware name^[2]. You can also see that Google refer Nexus 7 (2013, Wi-Fi) as "Razor" on the image download page, but "Flo" on the driver download page. This two-name system later is removed as Nexus 6P has only one code name, Angler.

Anyway, my point is that we should mention "Flo" in the article as well (which is not the case currently). But myself don't know how to phrase it the best. --fireattack (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
