Kazam, the young smartphone company founded by two former HTC executives, just announced a refresh of its smartphone line, including its first LTE smartphone. At Mobile World Congress, it went further and unveiled the Kazam Tornado 2. It will be available with both a 5- and a 5.5-inch display and come with the 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 SoC.
The devices on display at MWC 2014 were still pre-production models and the company did not disclose full specifications. Some may still change as well. For example, the models on display were running Android 4.2 but Kazam is still looking upgrading that to Android 4.4 for the launch. They are nearly identical but there are some differences as well.
