A recently rumored BlackBerry device has been tipped
by leakster Evan Blass to have a hefty 4,000 mAh battery in store. The device
in question is the BlackBerry Ghost – a high-end and supposedly bezel-less
BlackBerry device to be released exclusively in India. Its existence was first
leaked in February and it is slated to be released sometime in the summer.
Batteries this large are almost never found in
flagship-level devices – batteries this size are usually seen in mid-tier handsets.
Apparently a battery this large would be among the largest in a flagship-class
device – which says a lot about flagship devices and priority on battery life.
After nothing new on these BlackBerry Ghost handsets
from Optiemus for awhile, finally hearing that a summer release is expected.
(Also told that the dual rear cameras feature low light enhancement and optical
zoom.)
BlackBerry’s TCL-made devices of the past year and a
half have been no stranger to good battery life. The KEYOne had an above average
size battery, but BlackBerry’s choice to use a mid-range Snapdragon 625 the
KEYOne made it a great battery endurance performer. Even the BlackBerry Motion
had a huge 4,000 mAh battery.
It only makes sense for BlackBerry to continue to
leverage great battery life as a major selling point of its business-oriented
smartphones. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more news about the BlackBerry
Ghost.
