Huawei P Smart Z — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Huawei P Smart Z was Huawei's 2019 experiment in going notch-free on a budget: a 6.59-inch uninterrupted display with a 16MP camera that pops up from the top edge, a Kirin 710F chip, and a 4,000mAh battery. Launched in May 2019 with full Google Play Services, it remains one of the more interesting used Huawei phones — a mechanical pop-up camera being its charm and its risk. This guide covers its verified specifications and the checks that matter before buying one second-hand.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The P Smart Z's headline is its clean front: with the selfie camera hidden in a pop-up module, the 6.59-inch display stretches uninterrupted — a look that still turns heads. The back uses a two-tone finish (Emerald Green and Sapphire Blue have a light-catching gradient effect) in glass-front, plastic-back construction. At 196.8 grams it feels balanced. The rear fingerprint sensor is quick and reliable. For used buyers, the pop-up mechanism is the make-or-break inspection: cycle it dozens of times, check for smooth silent operation, and confirm it seals flush when retracted — dust in the mechanism is the classic failure mode on ageing units.

Display Features

The 6.59-inch IPS LCD at 1080 x 2340 (~391 ppi) is sharp and immersive with zero cutouts — video, games, and reading fill the whole panel. Colours are natural with good viewing angles, and brightness is fine indoors and in shade. It is a 60Hz panel without HDR, so it lacks the fluidity of newer high-refresh screens, but the uninterrupted canvas is the real draw. For a used phone, the display is a genuine highlight: notch-free screens are rare at this price, and this one still looks modern.

Processor and Performance

The Kirin 710F (12nm) — four Cortex-A73 cores at 2.2 GHz plus four Cortex-A53 efficiency cores with Mali-G51 MP4 graphics — was a solid mid-range chip in 2019. With 4GB of RAM, the P Smart Z handles everyday tasks in 2026 acceptably: calls, WhatsApp, browsing, YouTube, and casual games. It is not a performer by modern standards — heavy apps and demanding games will expose its age. Think of it as a competent light-use phone: smooth for the basics, unhurried under load. The 4GB RAM keeps everyday multitasking reasonable.

RAM and Storage

4GB of RAM with 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage, expandable via microSDXC. The 64GB capacity is the tightest in this P Smart batch — after the system and a normal set of apps, free space gets scarce, so the microSD slot matters here more than on the 128GB models. Use the card for photos, videos, and offline media, and keep internal storage for apps. When buying used, check actual free space in Settings and confirm the installed storage matches the 64GB specification — then plan your storage strategy around the card slot.

Camera Features

The dual rear camera pairs a 16MP f/1.8 main sensor with PDAF and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait blur. Daylight photos are clean and detailed with Huawei's pleasant colour tuning; HDR and panorama are included. Low light is average for the era — usable with night mode, noisy without it. The 16MP f/2.0 pop-up front camera is the fun part: sharp selfies, and the motorised rise never gets old. Video records at 1080p at 30fps. It is a likeable, honest camera system — good in daylight, modest after dark — with the pop-up selfie as its signature.

Battery and Charging

The 4,000mAh battery gave comfortable all-day life when new. On a used unit in 2026, expect degradation — a day of light-to-moderate use is realistic; heavy use will need an evening charge. Charging is over USB-C at standard speeds (fast-charging wattage was not officially confirmed for all variants, so expect modest rates and plan on overnight charging). No wireless charging. Battery health is a primary check: ask about screen-on time, watch for abrupt shutdowns at low percentages, and inspect the USB-C port for a firm, wiggle-free connection.

Software and Updates

Launched in May 2019, the P Smart Z carries full Google Play Services — the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, YouTube, and Google-dependent banking apps all work normally. It runs Android 9 Pie with EMUI 9 (some units received EMUI 10 updates in certain regions, but this was not universal — check the actual unit). Security updates ended years ago, so the standard caution applies: perfectly usable for everyday tasks, but keep banking and sensitive accounts on a newer, patched device. Among pop-up-camera phones, full Google support makes this one unusually practical.

Connectivity and Additional Features

4G LTE, dual Nano-SIM (single-SIM and hybrid dual-SIM versions exist — check the unit), dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/GLONASS/BDS/Galileo, USB-C 2.0 with OTG, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. NFC is present on some regional variants but not all — verify on the specific unit if contactless payment matters. The rear fingerprint sensor is fast. FM radio is not included. Sensors cover accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, and fingerprint.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Sold as the P Smart Z (model STK-LX1) in Emerald Green, Midnight Black, and Sapphire Blue, with 4GB + 64GB. Single-SIM and hybrid dual-SIM versions were sold in different markets, so confirm the SIM configuration of the unit you are considering. Launched in May/June 2019 and discontinued long ago, it now trades only as used stock in Pakistan. Availability is thin — it was never a high-volume seller locally — so patience may be needed to find a clean unit.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Listing estimates vary widely, reflecting thin and stale data: Rs. 48,290 (mobilemall.pk box-price listing), Rs. 59,600 (phoneworld.com.pk, an old official-warranty figure), and Rs. 74,860 (giznext, likely a conversion artefact) — all October 2026 checks, none a live market price. The phone is discontinued; treat every figure as a rough reference and negotiate on the unit's actual condition. Confirm the real asking price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

PTA: PTA approval is per device and IMEI. Verify any unit by sending its IMEI to 8484 and confirming Compliant status before paying. How to check PTA approval.

• 16MP pop-up front camera takes sharp selfies

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: buyers who love the notch-free pop-up design and want full Google apps on a budget — as a second phone, a media device, or a fun daily driver for light use. If the pop-up mechanism tests perfectly and the price is right, it is a charming used buy.

Look elsewhere if: mechanical cameras make you nervous, you need more than 64GB without juggling a memory card, or you want current security patches. Compare alternatives in the all mobiles collection and follow the used-mobile buying guide for any used purchase.

Final Verdict

The P Smart Z is a delightful oddity: a notch-free pop-up phone with full Google services, a sharp 6.59-inch display, and honest mid-range hardware. Its used value comes down to the pop-up mechanism's health and the 64GB storage limit — verify the first, plan around the second.
