My battery has been good with the current nexus 7 and the snapdragon 600 should be a huge improvement over the tegra 3 in that department.

Okay, what the heck is up with the top/bottom bezel?

It's like one third bezel combined. What the dill.
Also, is that a notification light on the bottom center there? Did the original Nexus 7 have a notification light?

The top and bottom bezels. And the off center camera. Yuck, yuck yuck.

Looks like the device is meant to be used in landscape mode. But also looks like the speakers are right where you'd be holding the device with your hands.Okay, what the heck is up with the top/bottom bezel?

It's just horrid.
My current N7 has such a nice comfy back with just enough grip to keep it from being slippery. When I saw the newest version of the N7 2 back it caused me to do a double take.

Agreed..a step forward with internal upgrades (display, CPU, RAM, dual speakers) but the form factor is not very appealing.
And cannot recall if the original Nexus 7 had a notification light but I don't believe it did.
Fortunately there's an easy remedy.

I hope so. That would be a major coup to get a retina display on a 7-inch device before Apple.

The bezels look like crap. Most people I see use 7" tablets in portrait most of the time. Having a large bezel only for landscape use makes no sense. Plus this leaked marketing pictures is shown in portrait.
But for $230, I will still probably buy one.

I have no problem complaining about the bezel

You can see the speakers on the bottom a little clearer in addition to what looks like a SIM slot.

I'm guessing the extra space (thus bezel) is for the cameras and the dual speakers. And I guess the notification light.
Maybe they can finally achieve the screenless bezel in the 3rd gen.

You've got it backwards. Those things are there to allow for additional bezel.
Why are so many surprised? Its no different from the leaked video/pictures so by now you should have come to terms with it. As much as i would have preferred a reduced bezel for the extra screen real estate, it doesn't factor into whether i purchase it or not.
Especially considering that its now confirmed to be packing a higher res screen which was pretty much my only deal breaker. Now just confirm that its also packing a Snapdragon S600 and that's the icing on the cake.

That's fine and dandy.
But for others, it was only recently that the leaks became validated -- semi-confirmed, if you will. It's also recently that the leaked photographs gave a clear picture of the Nexus 7.
Come to terms with it? I guess. The iPhone 5 was leaked early and when it became official, people still voiced their disappointments and concerns. Nothing wrong with that. "Don't act surprise" is not exactly a good argument...

Explain, please? Do you mean Google/Asus wanted more bezel, but didn't know how to give it more bezel and their only solution to add bezel was to throw in cameras, dual-speakers, etc?
The bezels add to the impression it is even more elongated in portrait mode making it look too long & narrow.
At the price & specs it will however do very well despite looking lanky......

That would have been nice. Especially since there is so much bezel plus the stupid onscreen buttons sucking up screen area.
Full gallery. Love it or hate it, the bezels are there.
