Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design was the ultra-luxury member of the 2017 Mate 10 family, designed in collaboration with Porsche Design and finished in Diamond Black. It took the Mate 10 Pro's hardware and added 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and an exclusive design language — at roughly double the price. In 2026 it is a rare used-market collector's item in Pakistan. This guide covers its verified specifications, why it commands a premium over the standard Mate 10 Pro, and what to verify before buying one used.

Design and Build Quality

This is the whole point of the phone: a Diamond Black finish with the vertical Porsche Design racing stripe running down the glass back, a bespoke Porsche Design UI theme, and exclusive packaging. The build mirrors the Mate 10 Pro — glass front and back with an aluminum frame — and carries full IP67 dust and water resistance (up to 1 m for 30 minutes). On the used market, condition of the glass back and the legibility of the Porsche Design branding directly determine value; a scratched or replaced back panel kills the premium.

Display Features

The 6.0-inch OLED panel runs at 1080 x 2160 (18:9, ~402 ppi) with HDR10 support and Corning Gorilla Glass. OLED delivers the deep blacks and contrast that the standard Mate 10's IPS LCD cannot, making it the better screen for video. Resolution is "only" Full HD+ rather than Quad HD, but at 402 ppi sharpness is not an issue. The always-on-display capability of OLED is a small daily convenience the LCD Mate 10 lacks.

Processor and Performance

The Kirin 970 — 10 nm octa-core with a dedicated neural processing unit — powers the Porsche Design exactly as it does the Mate 10 Pro. The extra RAM (6GB vs 4GB on the base Pro) helps multitasking and keeps more apps resident in memory. In 2026 it handles everyday use smoothly; it is not a gaming phone by modern standards. Performance is identical to the Mate 10 Pro — you are paying for design and exclusivity, not extra speed.

RAM and Storage

6GB of RAM paired with 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage was enormous in 2017 and remains generous today — there is no microSD slot, so buy knowing 256GB is all you get. For a used luxury phone this is actually an advantage: no storage anxiety, and the single high-capacity configuration simplifies the used market (no variant confusion).

Camera Features

The Leica dual camera — 12MP RGB plus 20MP monochrome, both f/1.6 with optical image stabilization, 2x lossless zoom and laser autofocus — is shared with the Mate 10 Pro. Expect strong daylight detail, excellent black-and-white shots from the monochrome sensor, and capable 4K video. The 8MP front camera is ordinary. Camera performance is flagship-2017 level: good, but modern computational night modes have moved far beyond it.

Battery and Charging

A 4,000mAh battery with Huawei's 22.5W SuperCharge, advertised to reach 58% in 30 minutes. When new, endurance was excellent; on a used unit, assume degradation and test thoroughly. There is no wireless charging. Given the phone's luxury positioning, ask specifically whether the battery is original — a replaced battery in a collector's phone is worth knowing about, though it is better for daily use.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 8.0 (Oreo) with EMUI 8.0 and the exclusive Porsche Design theme; some units later received EMUI 9.x. Official support ended years ago. As with every Mate 10-series phone, the decisive advantage is timing: it launched before the 2019 trade restrictions, so full Google Mobile Services work normally — Play Store, Gmail, Maps, YouTube and Google-dependent banking apps all function.

Connectivity and Additional Features

4G LTE-A (Cat18) with hybrid dual Nano-SIM. Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD, NFC, IR blaster, GPS with GLONASS and BDS, and USB Type-C. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack — audio goes through USB-C (an adapter was included in the box). Sensors include the rear fingerprint reader, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, barometer and compass.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Sold only in Diamond Black, in a single 6GB + 256GB configuration — simplicity that helps used buyers (no variant traps). It is distinct from the Mate 10 Pro (same hardware platform, but 4/6GB RAM, 64/128GB storage, standard colours, lower price) and from the standard Mate 10 (LCD, IP53, headphone jack). The Porsche Design was never officially sold in large numbers in Pakistan; most units are imports, so PTA status must be checked individually. Extremely rare on the local used market.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

No verified current Pakistan price exists — the phone is long discontinued and rarely traded locally. Pakistani listing sites show wide estimates: bestmobile.pk lists an expected price of Rs. 155,000, while technologistan.pk shows Rs. 186,882 (a USD-conversion estimate checked 2026-10-04, not a local market price). Treat both as rough guides, not quotes — actual used prices depend on condition, box/accessories and rarity. Confirm with Zohaan Mobile Gallery on WhatsApp (+92 305 8452080) or check the Mate 10 Porsche Design product page.

PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI, not per model — and since most Porsche Design units in Pakistan are imports, this check is critical. Send the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status before paying. How to check PTA approval.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Exclusive Porsche Design Diamond Black styling — a genuine collector's item
• 6GB RAM + 256GB storage; OLED HDR10 display; IP67 rating
• Leica dual camera with f/1.6 lenses and OIS
• Full Google Mobile Services, unlike newer Huawei flagships

Limitations:

• Extreme rarity in Pakistan — hard to find, harder to price fairly
• Hardware identical to the much cheaper Mate 10 Pro — the premium is purely design
• No headphone jack, no microSD slot
• Android 8.0 with no security updates; aged batteries on used units

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: collectors and Huawei enthusiasts who specifically want the Porsche Design branding and Diamond Black finish — and buyers who will actually use it as a stylish daily driver with full Google apps. If you find a clean, PTA-compliant unit with its box, it is a conversation piece that still works.

Look elsewhere if: you want maximum performance per rupee — the standard Mate 10 Pro offers the same hardware for far less. Compare in the all mobiles collection.

Final Verdict

The Mate 10 Porsche Design was never about value — it was about owning the most exclusive Huawei of 2017. That exclusivity is now its entire used-market proposition: same excellent hardware as the Mate 10 Pro, wrapped in Diamond Black Porsche Design styling. If you are a collector and find a clean, PTA-compliant unit, it is worth the premium. Everyone else should buy the Mate 10 Pro and keep the difference.
