I'll play devil's advocate and say low pricing has downsides.
Not many companies are willing to make a single digit figure per handset. That slim margin of profit means that a small company only has money to manufacture tiny batches at a time. People who can't buy one will buy something else. If the product fails, so will the company. Sell too little and the company faces bankruptcy. Sell too many and Samsung et al. will become your enemy. The market may eventually be flooded with cheap but shoddy devices when everybody participates in a price undercutting war.
Anyone with a defective or broken unit is going to wait a long, long, long time for a replacement (until the next batch is manufactured). This is bad for customer service and could alienate people in the long run.
