The third quarter of the current year should provide users with the possibility to purchase new Windows Phone devices from renowned handset vendors, including HTC, Huawei, Nokia, and Samsung.

No official announcement on the matter was made as of now, but a recent article on WMPoweruser notes that all four vendors are already working on new devices to be launched in the second half of the year.

HTC is expected to finally bring the long rumored Tiara to shelves, and it might release it in two flavors, one with LTE and one without. Samsung is expected to launch a Cronus LTE device, while Huawei should release the Ascend WQ 5, it seems. Nokia is said to plan on joining the party as well, with the previously leaked EOS and Catwalk smartphones expected to finally go official in Q3.

Rumor has it that Microsoft has already released the Windows Phone 8 GDR 2 OS flavor to manufacturing, and that these phones will be unveiled soon.
