Android One: Cheap Android phones with Google support

Sounds like a killer project - stock Android, direct upgrades and user control is a key.
 
Do companies that sell top end phones for R8000 and above really care about cheap or affordable phones?

Would they not loose money if cheap phones were popular?

Going to make a bad example, how do companies like Tata make money?

Of course. Samsung is one of the largest makers of cheap phones out there, maybe the largest. They make billions off the 3rd world with their low-end Androids.

Economies of scale.

Do you think Black Label makes more or less money than Peroni?

Do you think Sasko White/Brown loaf makes more or less money than Sasko Lo GI rooibos delux supreme double the price bread?

Do you think Toyota Corrola's make more money than Lexus ISF's?

Do you think Coke makes more money than Super 100% organic 100% ethical preservative free 5 times the price Juice?

Do you think Tata makes more money than Jaguar or Land Rover, of cause they do they bought it lol
And so on and so forth

Just because you pay more for the item doesn't mean the company makes more money from that specific product line
