Former HTC execs launch new smartphone Kazam

Two former HTC executives from the UK are hoping for a fresh start with their own company, Kazam. They are planning to release a  whole range of smartphones later this year.

Michael Coombes who is the former head of sales at HTC UK, and James Atkins, former U.K. marketing head for the Taiwanese company, announced on Monday that they are launching a start-up smartphone manufacturer Kazam. They promise Kazam would have "stunning design, robust hardware, and intuitive technology, underpinned with improved customer service. Kazam will focus on the European market."

"We believe your smartphone is a digital reflection of who you are, and since we are all different, it's important that we don't adopt a one size fits all approach," said Coombes in a statement. "We aim to provide quality smartphones that are accessible to everyone."

They have not yet disclosed the OS that they will use for Kazam.
