BlackBerry ‘Ghost’
The news came from the serial tipster, Evan Blass, who leaked the image of the alleged ‘BlackBerry Ghost’ along with the text “Coming Soon To India.”
As per the leak, the BlackBerry Ghost will feature an edge-to-edge display with visibly slim bezels, up front. The fascia of the phone will be clean as slate and doesn’t seem to have room for any home button or BlackBerry’s iconic QWERTY keyboard. The Ghost will have the onscreen keyboard and run on Android.

The firm inked a licensing agreement with Blackberry to and manufacture and sell their devices in India, last year. In most of the other regions, China-based TCL manufacture phones for BlackBerry.
