Design and Build Quality
The Y9 2018 brought the 18:9 "FullView" trend to Huawei's budget line: a 5.93-inch display with slim bezels in a 7.9 mm body weighing 170 g, sold in Black, Gold, and Blue with a metallic finish. The rear fingerprint scanner (Huawei's "Fingerprint 4.0") and Face Unlock cover biometrics. On used units, check the display and fingerprint sensor responsiveness.
Display Features
The 5.93-inch IPS LCD runs at 1080 x 2160 Full HD+ resolution (~407 ppi) in an 18:9 ratio — noticeably sharper than the HD+ panels on the Y7 Pro models. It was one of the cheapest FHD+ screens of 2018, and it still looks decent today for reading and video.
Processor and Performance
The Kirin 659 (16 nm, 4 x Cortex-A53 at 2.36 GHz + 4 x Cortex-A53 at 1.7 GHz, Mali-T830 MP2) was a competent mid-range chip in 2018. In 2026 it handles calls, WhatsApp, browsing, and light apps, but 3GB of RAM and the aging chip mean multitasking and modern apps will feel slow. Fine as a secondary or basics phone; not for heavy use.
RAM and Storage
The Pakistan variant has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage; some markets received 4GB + 64/128GB versions. The microSD slot supports up to 256GB and is dedicated, so dual-SIM users keep both SIMs. 32GB is tight in 2026 — use the SD card for media.
Camera Features
The "four-camera" headline: dual rear 16MP (f/2.2, PDAF) + 2MP depth sensor with LED flash and 1080p video, and dual front 13MP (f/2.0) + 2MP depth sensor for portrait selfies with bokeh. For 2018 this was impressive; today, daylight photos are acceptable but low-light results are poor by modern standards.
Battery and Charging
A 4,000mAh battery was generous in 2018 and still gives a full day of light use. Charging is standard-speed over microUSB with no fast charging. On a 7+ year-old used unit, battery degradation is the main concern — test real-world drain before buying.
Software and Updates
Android 8.0 Oreo with EMUI 8.0, including full Google Mobile Services — Play Store, Gmail, YouTube, and Maps all work natively, a key used-market advantage over 2020 Huawei models. Official updates ended years ago; confirm your essential apps (especially banking apps) still support Android 8.0.
Connectivity and Additional Features
GSM / HSPA / LTE with dual Nano-SIM (hybrid slot on some listings). Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX, GPS with A-GPS/GLONASS/BDS, FM radio, 3.5mm headphone jack, and microUSB 2.0. Sensors: rear fingerprint, accelerometer, proximity, compass (gyro market-dependent). No NFC.
Variants, Colours and Availability
The Pakistan variant is 3GB + 32GB in Black, Gold, and Blue. Other markets received 4GB + 64GB and 4GB + 128GB versions, plus an FLA-LX2 variant with a 16MP front camera. Do not confuse it with the Y9 2019 (Kirin 710, 6.5-inch notch display) — a different, newer phone. Discontinued; only used units remain.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
The official launch price was Rs. 26,499 (May 2018, Huawei Pakistan). Discontinued; listing estimates for used units are around Rs. 24,699. Confirm the current price and condition with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before buying.
