Huawei P9 Plus — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Huawei P9 Plus (2016) took everything good about the P9 — the Leica dual 12MP cameras, the Kirin 955 chip — and added a bigger 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with Press Touch (Huawei's 3D Touch), stereo speakers, a larger 3,400mAh battery, and an IR blaster. As a pre-ban flagship it runs full Google apps. This guide covers its verified specifications, realistic used pricing in Pakistan, and what to inspect before buying.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The P9 Plus stretches the P9 formula to 5.5 inches with a glass front, aluminium back and frame, and the same flush dual-camera module. At 7mm thin it stays elegant for its size, and the chamfered edges make it comfortable to hold.

On used units, test the Press Touch screen response across the whole panel — dead pressure zones are a known wear issue — and check the aluminium back for dents around the camera module.

Display Features

This is the P9 Plus's biggest upgrade over the P9: a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED at 1920 x 1080 with deep blacks and punchy colours, plus Press Touch pressure sensitivity for shortcuts and previews. For movies and photos it is clearly the nicer screen of the two.

Still 60Hz and FHD — smooth enough for media, but modern 120Hz panels feel livelier.

Processor and Performance

The same Kirin 955 as the P9, but here paired with a full 4GB RAM — which helps multitasking noticeably versus the 3GB base P9. Everyday apps, social media, and light gaming run fine; demanding 2026 apps and games will push it hard.

For a secondary or media phone it remains capable; as a primary device the aged chip and Android 7.0 ceiling are the limits.

RAM and Storage

4GB RAM with 32GB or 64GB storage (microSD up to 128GB via hybrid slot) — the 64GB variant is the one to hunt for. 4GB keeps several apps alive in memory where the 3GB P9 reloads them.

Confirm the exact storage before paying; 'P9 Plus' listings rarely state 32 vs 64GB.

Camera Features

The same Leica dual 12MP system as the P9: RGB + monochrome sensors, f/2.2, laser autofocus, dual-tone flash, and the signature wide-aperture and monochrome modes. The front camera upgrades to 8MP with f/1.9 and autofocus — better selfies than the standard P9.

Test both rear sensors and the front AF on used units; the dual-camera module is the phone's main value, so verify it thoroughly.

Battery and Charging

The 3,400mAh battery with 18W fast charging (about 38% in 30 minutes advertised) was a meaningful step up from the P9's 3,000mAh. A decade later, expect degradation — a fresh cell transforms this phone.

Check that fast charging actually engages (the lock-screen charging indicator should show it) and that the USB-C port is snug.

Software and Updates

Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.1, upgradable to Android 7.0 Nougat / EMUI 5. Security support ended years ago — no banking apps, no sensitive logins.

Full Google apps and Play Services work normally as a pre-2019 device — the key reason these old flagships still trade hands.

Connectivity and Additional Features

4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, GPS/GLONASS/BDS, USB Type-C, rear fingerprint sensor, IR blaster, and — unlike the P9 — stereo speakers. A complete 2016 connectivity package.

No water resistance and no wireless charging; both were reserved for later generations.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Sold as 32GB and 64GB (both 4GB RAM) in Haze Gold, Quartz Grey, and Ceramic White; model numbers VIE-L09 (single SIM), VIE-L29 (dual SIM), and VIE-AL10. Confirm dual-SIM if you need it.

It sits between the P9 (smaller, LCD, mono speaker) and today's flagships — buy it for the AMOLED screen and stereo speakers over the standard P9.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The P9 Plus is discontinued. Historical retail references range from PKR 64,999 (BestMobile) to Rs. 68,000 (TeleZone, launch era) — both stale. Recent user sale ads (WhatMobile, list.com.pk) ask roughly Rs. 18,000–24,000 for used units in good condition — a used-market estimate, not a fixed price. Confirm the latest price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before buying.

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 IMEI. For used phones, also read how to buy a used mobile safely and the buy used mobile page.
