There used to be a time when companies introduced new phones once, maybe twice, in a given year. That release cycle is now nothing but a distance memory, and according to DigiTimes, the second half of 2013 is going to be just as exciting as the first.

They say that Samsung is going to launch a 5.99 inch Note III, powered by their Exynos 5 Octa processor. HTC will launch a second generation Butterfly, which will have the same BoomSound speakers and UltraPixel camera as the HTC One. And LG will introduce the Optimus G2, which right now looks like it’ll have a 5 inch 1080p screen and a Qualcomm’s new Snapdrgaon 800.

Now saying H2 2013 is incredible vague, so let me try my best to give you some more specific dates. Starting with the Note III, that’ll likely be announced at IFA, which starts on September 6th. As for the Optimus G2, despite LG hosting an event in China later this month, I think they’ll also wait until September to launch their new phone.

Finally there’s HTC. This one is the most confusing since the One is still having some issues reaching certain countries. I don’t know if that’s because HTC is experiencing too much demand, or whether it has to do with issues at the factory that are stunting the ramp.

So yeah, enjoy your petty HTC One vs. GS4 arguments, because they’ll soon not even matter.
