Design and Display

The BlackBerry Ghost was leaked by @evleaks on Twitter and indicates an awesome design. Based on those leaks, BlackBerry Ghost houses a bezel-less design (didn’t see yet so that’s hard to confirm). Antenna lines on the side around the device indicate that it will boast a metal build, which would be nice to see. There is a small front-facing camera on the top of the phone, but we didn’t see any sensor for a feature such as facial recognition.

The display is vivid, bright and paired with excellent viewing angles which visuals life-like. Hence, you can indulge yourself in games and movies on the big screen.

Talking about its software, BlackBerry Ghost runs on Android v8.0 Oreo operating system – either it will be upgraded to Android P 9.0 or not, it’s yet to be announced.

A massive 4000mAh non-removable battery is the key point of BlackBerry Ghost which promises to keep you up all day long with a heavy usage and delivers slightly more with a moderate use. If the battery is on a dead level and you’re short on time, fast charging feature has got you covered.
