Kazam, an up and coming European smartphone brand, has announced a series of six new Android smartphones, a trio of Windows-based tablets, and two Windows Phone smartphones. Although the new hardware has been introduced now, the range will make its official debut at Mobile World Congress next week.

What do we have? Starting with the Android hardware, Kazam has introduced the Trooper 445L and a selection of other devices all based around the same design and spec sheet. It has a 4.5-inch, 480 x 800 pixel screen, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a VGA front camera, and a MediaTek quad-core processor. Android 4.4 is installed, and the phone has 4G LTE connectivity.

Kazam wants to ensure everyone can find the right mid-spec phone for them, so it has added a wide variety of subtly different alternatives to the Trooper range. The Trooper 440L has the same processor, but a smaller 4-inch, 480 x 800 pixel screen. The Trooper 450 has a 5-inch, 480 x 854 pixel screen, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, while the Trooper 451 has a Spreadtrum processor inside. Finally, the Trooper 455 takes the screen size to 5.5-inches.

Interestingly, all Kazam Android phones come with a three year warranty, and a year’s worth of free screen protection, meaning the company will replace it if it cracks.

Kazam gets closer to Microsoft

Moving on to Kazam’s Windows Phones, the spec sheets get slightly more interesting. The Thunder 450W runs Windows Phone 8.1, and is powered by a Snapdragon 200 processor, which drives a 720p 5-inch display. The rear camera has 8-megapixels, and there’s a 2-megapixel cam above the screen. Sadly, it’s only a 3G phone. That changes with the Thunder 450WL, which also has a Snapdragon 410 processor inside.

Finally, we come to Kazam’s first Windows tablets – the Kazam L7, L8, and L10. All are based on the Intel Bay Trail platform, and come with 720p screens, in either 7, 8, or 10.1 inch sizes. Windows 8.1 is installed, and other specs include 2-megapixel cameras on the front and rear, plus 32GB of internal storage space and a MicroSD card expansion slot. The L10 is the only one of the three to have 2GB of RAM, leaving the other two to muddle by with 1GB.

All Kazam’s new hardware will be shown at MWC, when prices and release dates will probably be confirmed.

I visited Infinix’s first global flagship store, and it’s unlike any phone store I’ve been to
Phones, coffee, and robots: Infinix's Bali concept store was a delightful surprise
Infinix Flagship Store

I've been to plenty of smartphone stores over the years, and I can't tell any of these experiences apart. Picture neatly arranged tables, rows of smartphones, and the occasional accessory tucked away in a corner. Honestly, this works for most people who show up knowing exactly what they need and just leave.

So, when Infinix invited me to Bali for the grand opening of its first global flagship concept store, I was curious to see what the company had planned. I expected an elaborate showroom and a few extra things, like eye-catching installations to celebrate the occasion. And while there were a few of these, a lot of the things that actually caught my eye were permanent parts of the store.

Apple’s supply chain power is legendary, but a new report says it’s downright brutal  
Whatever you've heard before, the reality is a lot more shocking.

Ever wonder just how powerful Apple’s market status is? To give you an idea, here’s a passage from a searing report published by The Wall Street Journal published a few days ago:

“Around the end of 2015, Sandisk refused Apple’s requests to send additional supply because it already had customers willing to pay more. Blevins threatened a Sandisk salesman with retaliation, saying he would have Sandisk’s chief executive, Sanjay Mehrotra, “crawl on his knees” back to Apple, according to a person familiar with the call."

Android’s new ‘SMS of Death’ exploit can crash your phone without you doing anything
A malicious text message can disrupt calls and leave an Android phone stuck in a reboot loop, without the owner knowing what happened.

A security researcher has uncovered a serious vulnerability in Android that allows an attacker to remotely crash a smartphone using a specially crafted text message. Dubbed "SMS of Death," the flaw can disrupt cellular services, disconnect ongoing calls, and even leave a phone stuck in a reboot loop. The troubling part is that the recipient doesn't have to interact with it at all.

The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-58882, was discovered by security researcher Mark Blaszczyk, who first notified Google about it in May. On October 29, he published his findings alongside a working demonstration, after successfully reproducing the attack on Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Google has already developed a fix, but its availability across Android devices is another matter.
