LONDON, UK -- British smartphone maker Kazam has unveiled the Kazam Tornado 348; the phone's 5.15mm-thick frame is almost a full 2mm thicker than the already compact iPhone 6 (6.9mm) and the Samsung Galaxy Alpha (6.7mm); the phone features a metal uni-body design and crams a 2050mAh battery under the hood, setting the new world record for the Slimmest smartphone,

The Guinness World Records' record for the Thinnest television, LCD, was set by LG Korea, which has created a fully hi-def (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) liquid-crystal display panel that is a mere 2.6 mm (0.10 in) thick thinner than a UK £1 coin. The 106-cm (42-in) screen uses an ultraslim LED blacklighting system, and the entire unit weighs just 4.2 kg (9 lb 4 oz).
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the thinnest laptop computer; it is the Windows 7 Dell Adamo XPS, which ranges between 9.7 mm (0.38 in) at its slimmest point to 10.3 mm (0.41 in) at its thickest – an average of 9.99 mm (0.39). It measures 340 x 273.9 x 9.99 mm (13.39 x 10.78 x .39 in).

Despite its compact nature, the phone features a metal uni-body design and crams a 2050mAh battery under the hood, the Trusted Reviews reported.
A mass of mid-range components are also present. With a 4.8-inch AMOLED display boasting a 1280 x 780p resolution, the phone's screen is coated in Gorilla Glass for added protection.
Powered by a MediaTek True Octa-core MT6592 processor, the Tornado 348 runs Google's latest Android OS, KitKat 4.4.2.
Images are handled by an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera – with 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities – and a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper for selfie lovers.
The handset is to be offered in both black and white colours schemes, and, like all Kazam handsets, offers a free 12-month replacement plan on damaged screens.
