Wikocompany fondee founded in France, sells more in addition to
smartphones lowcost. This sector increasing in France did not escape
Kazam, a competing English company. From the month of March, Kazam
arrives with 7 models of smartphones, with prices ranging from 79 to 199
euros. A newcomer who seems interesting.
Smartphones are increasingly bought in naked version. In this context,
high-end or several hundred euro models do not meet all needs. The Marseillais
Laurent Dahan has understood and created Wiko in 2011 to offer low-priced
mobile phones. Result, Wiko finished the year 2013 second in sales of
smartphones in France, behind Samsung.
Although Wiko was bought by the
Chinese company Tinno, he intends to tackle the European market.
However, a newcomer also wants to take advantage of this market. It comes to
Kazam, a company English, founded a few months ago by former employees of
HTC. Like Wiko, Kazam is owned by a Chinese company and develops low-cost
mobiles.
He arrived in France in March with 7 models.

Trooper will be composed of five models equipped with a screen between 3.5
and 5.5 inches. They will be equipped with a dual processor core MediaTek,
clocked of 1 to 1.2 GHz, memory RAM 512 MB and 4 GB storage space, expandable

The range Thunder, meanwhile, will consist of two models. With
a 4.5 IPS screen resolution inch 480 x 854 pixels, they will have a 1.3 GHz

expandable via microSDHC. Android 4.2, they will be equipped with a front and
rear 8-megapixel photo sensor 2 megapixels. The difference between the two
models is that one will be compatible 3G and other 4G.
In March, the Trooper
range will be available from 79 to 179 euros. It will wait until April to

Beyond low-cost smartphones, Kazam also, places emphasis on
services and broader coverage. Worrying Wiko!
