UK company Kazam has announced the Tornado 348 ‘the World’s thinnest smartphone’.  The phone which is made of an aluminium-magnesium alloy uni-body is 5.15mm thin.
The phone has a 4.8†AMOLED 1280 x 780 HD Gorilla Glass screen with Google’s KitKat 4.4.2, 8 megapixel camera, a powerful MediaTek octa-core processor, and a price of just £249. The device is also supported by Kazam’s customer proposition – one year screen protection and Kazam Rescue service.
Kazam is the brainchild of James Atkins and Michael Coombes, both previously employees of Taiwanese smartphone company HTC. The company is based in offices in London’s Mayfair but has a 50-strong R&D team based in China where the company’s smartphones are designed and built.
