We cannot really say that the Kazam Tornado 348 can rough up the mainstream competition. It certainly has some positive aspects like the extremely thin, sturdy and nice chassis or the display with its rich colors and the good viewing angles.

Super slim, well-built design ; Decent battery life despite the thin profile ; Slick overall performance

Sluggish camera shutter ; Awkward button placement

As with all Kazam phones, the Tornado 348 is covered by the company’s free screen replacement cover as standard. That means if you accidentally smash the device’s display within the first 12 months of ownership – and many of us know how easy that can...

Thin design ; Excellent AMOLED screen ; Screen replacement service ; Good camera

No microSD, 4G or NFC ; Not 1080p screen ; Patchy front-facing camera ; Better value elsewhere

Very slim, decent spec, good battery life

The Kazam Tornado 348 is an enviably slim smartphone and feels very well built too. Its specs are resolutely midrange but it's a decent performer and if it's let down a little by its under-par camera, at least the price is reasonable.

The Tornado 348 is a brilliantly made smartphone which feels very high-end despite its relatively low price of just £250. Saying that, it didn't seem as graceful as we'd like when manoeuvring around the OS but was generally responsive to most commands....
