Google’s Nexus 10 has been out a year now and a new refresh has been eagerly awaited by fans. Just a week ago we saw an inventory leak from Curry PC world in the UK, posted by an employee on his Twitter which showed the next-gen Nexus being built by Asus.

Now the ever faithful @evleaks has just confirmed again that the slate is coming. And it’s going to be an Asus one, as expected.

They posted a screenshot of yet another inventory leak on their Twitter with an additional text saying “getting closer.” Nevertheless, the image does not bring any additional information.

It appears that Google wants to break the partnership with Samsung for its upcoming 10-inch tablets. There has been no official announcement yet, but all seems to indicate that Asus is going to take up the next-gen Nexus 10 manufacturing from on now.
