Huawei Mate 9 Pro Price in Pakistan & Specs
Huawei Mate 9 Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
The Huawei Mate 9 Pro is the quiet twin of the Porsche Design edition: the same dual-curved QHD AMOLED display, the same Kirin 960 chip, and the same Leica dual camera — without the luxury badge and its price premium. Like its siblings it is discontinued and found only on the used market, where it keeps one strong card: full Google apps support. This guide covers its verified specifications, Pakistan pricing, and honest buying advice.

Design and Build Quality
The Mate 9 Pro shares the Porsche Design's body: a 7.5 mm aluminum-and-glass build with a dual-curved front and a front-mounted fingerprint sensor. Without the Porsche branding it flew under the radar, which is an advantage today — used units carry less of the counterfeit risk that surrounds the luxury edition. Check the curved edges for cracks and the frame for bends on any used unit.
Display Features
The same 5.5-inch dual-curved AMOLED panel as the Porsche Design: 1440 x 2560 resolution at ~534 ppi with Gorilla Glass 3. It remains a genuinely good-looking screen, though edge discoloration and burn-in are realistic concerns on a decade-old panel. Curved-display repairs are expensive, so inspect carefully.
Processor and Performance
The Kirin 960 (16nm, Cortex-A73/A53, Mali-G71 MP8) was Huawei's 2016 flagship and still handles everyday use — calls, messaging, streaming — in 2026. Heavy multitasking and modern 3D games will expose its age. Buy it for the display, camera, and Google apps support, not for performance headroom.
RAM and Storage
Two configurations: 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB. Unlike the Porsche Design, the Pro supports microSD expansion up to 256GB — though the card slot is shared with the second SIM, so you choose between dual SIM and extra storage. The 6GB + 128GB variant is the one to look for on the used market.
Camera Features
The Leica dual camera pairs a 20MP monochrome sensor with a 12MP colour sensor, with OIS, laser autofocus, 2x zoom, and 4K video. The monochrome sensor was the headline feature — black-and-white shots with real depth rather than a software filter. The 8MP f/1.9 front camera is fine for calls and selfies. Low-light performance is well behind modern phones.
Battery and Charging
A 4,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging — Huawei claimed about 58% in 30 minutes at launch. Every surviving unit's battery is aged, so test real-world endurance during inspection and factor replacement cost into the price. No wireless charging.
Software and Updates
Launched on Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5, upgradable to Android 9 (EMUI 9.1). The critical point: full Google Play services work normally — Play Store, Gmail, Maps, YouTube. Updates ended years ago, so verify that your essential apps install and run on the device before you pay.
Connectivity and Additional Features
4G LTE, dual Nano-SIM (shared with microSD), Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, infrared port, and USB Type-C. The IR blaster still earns its keep as a TV remote. No 5G and no water-resistance rating.
Variants, Colours and Availability
Variants: 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB, in Haze Gold and Titanium Grey. Discontinued worldwide; Pakistan availability is used-market only. It is essentially the Porsche Design's hardware without the luxury tax — a sensible way to get the curved QHD AMOLED and Leica camera at a lower price.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
An aggregator listing shows the Mate 9 Pro at Rs. 67,000 (checked October 2026) — treat this as a listing figure, not a confirmed current market price, and confirm the latest used price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery. A historical retailer listing showed Rs. 85,140. Street prices for a decade-old flagship vary with condition, so inspect before negotiating.
PTA: PTA approval applies per device and IMEI, not per model. Before paying, send the phone's IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status. How to check PTA approval and how to check the IMEI before you hand over any money.
Main Advantages and Limitations

- Porsche Design-grade hardware (curved QHD AMOLED, Leica dual camera) without the luxury markup
- Full Google apps and Play Store support
- microSD expansion (the Porsche Design lacks it)

Limitations:
- Discontinued — used market only, no warranty

- Aging battery on every surviving unit
- Curved screen repairs are costly
