Waterproof Kazam Tornado 455L weathers the storm (hands-on)

 

If you want a smartphone that can handle tough weather, the Kazam Tornado 455L is aptly-named. The 4G LTE Android phone from young mobile brand Kazam is encased against the wind and rain in a waterproof shell.

The Tornado 455L will be available across Europe around March or April. Specific release dates and prices will be announced nearer the time. Kazam is a relatively new brand but has a relationship with operator Telefonica in Spain, while phone fans in the UK can buy directly from Kazam or from such emporiums as Argos, Tesco and Amazon.

Kazam was founded in 2013 by former HTC executives jumping ship to produce an assortment of wallet-friendly Android and Windows Phone smartphones. Devices start with the entry-level Trooper range, move up to the mid-level Thunder range and peak with the Tornado range. The new 455L is the second Tornado phone, following on from the skinny Tornado 348.
