The Windows Phones will be part of the Thunder line, and introduced today is the 450W and 450WL. Both come with the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1. It isn't the first Windows Phone that Kazam has launched, but a return is welcome and shows a commitment to the platform.
"We are delighted to expand our relationship with KAZAM," said Peter Han, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, OEM Division, Microsoft. "These new Windows tablets and phones will diversify KAZAM's Windows offerings across Europe and provide customers with a consistent yet personalised experience across devices."
Kazam focuses on offering quality devices at aggressive price points. So, on the hardware front, here's what makes up the Thunder 450 phones. They're largely the same underneath bar LTE support and some minor CPU differences and there's a slightly different look on the outside. The 450W comes in this rather fetching shade of lime, while the 450WL is a little more restrained, with Champagne and Silver versions on offer.
Pricing and specific regional availability is not available at this time, but the company will be on hand in Barcelona to show off the devices for the first time. Of course, Windows Central will be there to take a look first hand, so stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, check out some more images and the full press release below.

London, February 24th 2015 – KAZAM, European mobile brand, today announces the launch of its latest phones and tablets in the build up to Mobile World Congress.
New KAZAM Trooper range
KAZAM is introducing six new models to its volume selling Trooper range. The addition of an entry level LTE phone will drive further sales, particularly in regions that have adopted the technology at a faster rate than expected.

The 4.5-inch quad-core smartphone boasts the latest 4G/LTE technology, in a sleek brushed metal-effect design, making it a complete all-rounder. When combined with KAZAM's trademark proposition (Free Screen Protection for 12 months, KAZAM Rescue and 3 year warranty), it makes the Trooper range hard to beat in value.

KAZAM launched across Europe in November 2013 with the ambition to challenge the industry status quo. The straight talking brand is focused on producing quality phones at aggressive price points. However, the KAZAM proposition has always been more than just mobile devices. All KAZAM smartphones come with KAZAM Rescue, free cracked screen replacement and three-year warranty.
