Kazam Tornado 348

Hi guys,


How does this phone stand up? Can it truly be as good as S5 or S6? Or should I not bother with it although the price point is nice (£99 outright or £8.50 from Virgin on 24month contract.)

    Is it as good as an S5 or S6 only if your blind. Closer to a 6 year old galay S2?

    720p screen only

    NO 4G
    NO SD card slot 16GB max, no larger option
    NO NFC
    NO notification lights

    Its worse than my Galaxy S4.

    They claimed it was the thinnest phone, then 5 minutes later someone released a thinner one. Because its so thin it bends easily...

    LOL


    I have been looking at the Samsung range.
    I'm stuck between the S5, S5 neo and S6, not sure what to go for.


    Any advice on the best spec phone for money and any good deals out there?


    TIA

    For best specifications for money you are looking in the wrong place (I mean Samsung).
    That said, the best specs normally isn't the same as the best value .

    Dont ask me I went from Motorola to Nokia and then to Samsung with the Galaxy S2 and that would still do everything i need of a phone it was a wow after the Nokia.
    I went with the S4 after, and thats where im sticking for the time being. I dont like the S5 and S6.

    I moved away from Voda and got a sim only deal with life and will be keeping my S4 for a while yet.

    When i got the S4 i disabled most of the features they added.
