BlackBerry’s Indian licensee Optiemus is expected to launch two new phones this year. Ever since news of the two devices surfaced, they have been referred to as the BlackBerry Ghost and Ghost Pro. Apparently, those are their codenames and a new leak has revealed their official names.

The leak comes from Evan Blass who first informed us about the existence of both phones months ago. According to a tweet from him yesterday, the BlackBerry Ghost will launch as the BlackBerry Evolve and the Ghost Pro will launch as the BlackBerry Evolve X.

Apparently the Ghost and Ghost Pro from India's Optiemus are coming to market as the BlackBerry Evolve and Evolve X.

Both the Evolve and the Evolve X are expected to come with 18:9 displays and powerful Snapdragon processors. A few weeks ago, Evan Blass also revealed the Ghost (Evolve) will pack a 4000mAh battery. The rest of the specs are still unknown and so is a release date.

Nevertheless, we hope more info about both phones surfaces in coming weeks. At the moment, the BlackBerry KEY² made by China’s TCL is still the most recent and most powerful BlackBerry phone on the market. But not everyone wants a phone with a QWERTY keyboard, so the Evolve and Evolve X will surely find its BlackBerry fans.

One of BlackBerry’s licensees is India’s Optiemus Infracom. Last month, renowned leaker, Evan Blass, tweeted a photo of an upcoming phone from Optiemus called the BlackBerry Ghost. Today, he has followed it up by a new leak of another phone called the BlackBerry Ghost Pro.

Just like the BlackBerry Ghost, the Ghost Pro is scarce on details. Nothing is practically known about its specs and how it will differ from the non-pro version. However, a comparison of both leaked renders reveals a few differences of some sort.

Judging from the picture of the BlackBerry Ghost, it will come with a “bezel-less” design. So we are practically looking at yet another 18:9 phone but BlackBerry’s first, hitting the market soon. The Ghost Pro on the other hand looks like it is keeping the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio seeing as it appears to be wider and shorter.

It also looks thicker, which points at a bigger battery. Another difference is the BlackBerry branding on the chin, which is absent in the regular variant.

Apart from the branding in front, the other differences may not turn out as discussed above as there is a possibility it is just the angle of the photos playing a trick on the eyes.

Nevertheless, we are itching for more details on the BlackBerry Ghost and the BlackBerry Ghost Pro, which by the way are probably codenames but cool nonetheless.
