The other day we reported that it was possible that the next-gen Nexus 10 tablet could be made by ASUS instead of Samsung. Now according to the folks at Android Central, they claim to have received a tip by an anonymous person showing off a screenshot from another UK retailer where the Nexus 10 has been referred to as the “ASUS Nexus 10”. This corroborates claims from the other day when UK retailer, PCWorld, had its inventory screenshot leaked which led to speculation that the Nexus 10 could indeed be by ASUS. However it should be noted that this retailer, Currys, is owned by the same company, so it is possible that if the previous entry had been a typo, it could have carried on to this retailer as well.

In any case Samsung was responsible for the first Nexus 10 while ASUS had been tasked with making the Nexus 7. We’re not sure why Google decided to go with ASUS instead of Samsung for their next Nexus 10, if the rumors are true, but given that ASUS has had a decent amount of success with the Nexus 7, perhaps Google is hoping to apply that to the Nexus 10 as well. Either way hopefully Google will be sharing details about the next-gen Nexus 10 soon. Rumor has it that October could be when Google unveils the new Nexus 5, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the company took the opportunity to unveil the Nexus 10 tablet at the same time, so check back with us then for the details.

As it stands, the Google Nexus 7 tablet is made by ASUS, and the Nexus 10 tablet is made by Samsung. However it seems that the next-gen Nexus 10 tablet could also be made by ASUS, thanks to a sighting in the PCWorld (a computer retailers based in the UK) computer system where the device has been revealed showing a listing for a certain “Google ASUS Nexus 10” device. According to the original leaker, Rage06, they alleged that they were the ones who took the photo and presumably they are an employee at the shop which might explain how they have access to it.

According to the leaker, they claim that PCWorld would only list the device if it was a real deal as opposed to speculation, so perhaps the listing could be the real deal. Alternatively it could merely be a typo as well where they might have confused the Nexus 7 for the Nexus 10, but then again it is possible that Google could switch manufactures so it is not entirely out of the question. In any case take it with a grain of salt, but presumably the Nexus 10, if real, could be announced alongside the Nexus 5 handset whose launch date has been tipped for October. What do you guys think? Anyone looking forward to an ASUS Nexus 10 device?
