TL;DR
Welcome to the new world of consumerism, where marketers are given the job of implanting the idea into consumers mind to want something a little newer, a little shinier and a little more in fashion. It doesn't mean the best product wins. It is the product(s) that is being pushed into the consumer's mind as being best wins.
Long Version:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What is beauty? How can we define beauty? Is there a fixed standard to beauty? Or to what is good, what is bad?

At the end of the day, it is all down to marketing. It is how they market things. Look at Apple for example.

What is the perfect size for a phone and scree? Apple has been marketing 3.5" all these while, dismissing 4". It used to be everyone who worships Apple also preaches the 3.5" inch theory till the cows comes home, always saying 3.5" is the best and that 4" is too big for their hands to use, not comfortable etc.

Magically, as the 5th gen was out with a 4" screen, all these Apple worshipers suddenly grew larger hands, accepting the 4" screen size and praising Apple for coming up with that size.

It does not matter if Sony has the best colour reproduction or if it has the sharpest screen. It all just boils down to what is being marketed as the "in" thing. Market the zero brightness black, high contrast and over vividness enough and everyone will start believing that is how things are supposed to be, overly colourful and painful to the eyes.

Unfortunately, we live in a consumerism society. There used to be a time where products were produced by hand, so the supply was low, and with the demand at a particular level, it drove the price up. As time goes by and mass production came in, supply increased a lot, but demand has not changed much. So because of that, companies will need to make consumer's thinking change. It used to be a time when people buy phones to replace their old broken unusable ones. But now, people are changing just because they want something a little newer, a little shinier, a little more "in fashion".

Why once a year?me at least 3-4 times a year,don't care budget,sell tour current phone or trade,top up a bit,can simply get quad core phones
