Kazam Thunder 450L and 450W whip up a Windows Phone storm (hands-on)

Thunder only happens when it’s raining, as a great lady once sang. And up-and-coming smartphone brand Kazam is raining down two new Windows Phone devices in the shape of the Kazam Thunder 450W and Thunder 450L.

The main difference between the pair is that the 450W is a 3G phone and the 450L supports 4G LTE. 4G lets you enjoy extra-fast connection to the Internet for faster browsing and smoother music and video streaming. However, it’s still relatively new, so check with networks to ensure your local area is covered by a decent signal before purchasing.

Of the two, the 450L is more soberly designed, with rounded corners and a textured case that’s fun to run your fingernail over. The 450W is more brash, with bright colours that match the colourful Windows Phone home screens. The neon yellow case is certainly bold — you won’t lose it in the dark.

Both phones are powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz MSM8212 processor, with 1GB of RAM. There’s 8GB of storage — some is taken up by the phone’s firmware — but the rest is free for your music and movies, apps and snaps. A microSD card slot gives up to 32GB of extra leg room if you need it. There’s also an FM radio built-in.
