Google Pixel 9 Pro

At Rs. 92,026 on Daraz before taxes, this phone crosses the six-figure mark for most buyers once PTA Mobile Device Registration is factored in — expect an additional Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 75,000 on the CNIC rate depending on dollar fluctuation at the time of import, pushing the total past Rs. 150,000 for a locally registered unit. Passport-registered devices cost less in PTA dues but cannot be used as a primary SIM long-term, which matters for anyone running a Pakistani number full time. Hafeez Centre vendors in Lahore carry grey-market units at varying markups; authorised Google retail presence in Pakistan remains limited, so after-sales warranty claims are largely managed through third-party channels rather than a direct service centre. For everyday Pakistani use, two specs stand out. The Wi-Fi 6e and Wi-Fi 7 support is genuinely useful in Karachi and Lahore households that have upgraded their routers, cutting buffering during WhatsApp video calls even when multiple devices share the same connection. The 50MP main camera uses a 1/1.31-inch sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, which means it pulls in noticeably more light in the dim, mixed-lighting conditions common at indoor gatherings, bazaars, and evening street photography — situations where smaller-sensor phones flatten colours or introduce noise. The closest competitor in this bracket is the Samsung Galaxy S24, which trades the Pixel's guaranteed seven major Android upgrades for Samsung's broader local service network and a more established resale value in cities like Faisalabad and Multan where Google's brand recognition is thinner. The S24 edges ahead on after-sales convenience; the Pixel 9 Pro wins on long-term software support and camera sensor size. If you buy phones to keep for five or more years and shoot a lot of photos, the Pixel 9 Pro makes the case; if resale value and walk-in service matter more, the Samsung is the safer spend.
