Memory
| Card slot A special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory (or in the past these slots have been used to add some missing features such as Wi-Fi connectivity). Memory cards have different capacities and are used to store and transfer files between compatible devices. There are several types of memory cards. The most popular and frequently used by mobile phone manufacturers is microSD; however, up until recently Sony Ericsson exclusively used the Memory Stick Micro (M2) card type developed by Sony. | microSDXC |
| Internal Storage The built-in storage space for apps, photos and files, measured in gigabytes. More storage lets you keep more content on the phone. | 32GB |
| RAM The memory the phone uses to run apps and keep them open in the background, measured in gigabytes. More RAM generally helps multitasking run smoothly. | 2GB |
Camera
| Dual A camera is a device that captures light and processes it into an image. It does this through a lens, which focuses the light onto a light-sensitive surface where a picture is formed. This could be film in traditional cameras or an electronic sensor in digital cameras. | 13 MP (wide) CIF |

Design and Display
The Sparx S9 is a 6.1-inch phone with a plastic body in Black, measuring 154.5 x 73 x 10 mm and weighing 185 g. The dual-camera module sits at the top corner of the back, and below it is a clear circular rear-mounted fingerprint sensor — you can see it plainly in the photos. The front is a 6.1-inch IPS LCD with a 720 x 1600 resolution (around 288 pixels per inch) and a 60Hz refresh rate.
One source, mymobile, says the S9 has no fingerprint sensor — but the sensor is plain to see as a clear circle on the back of the phone, and mobileinto also lists it as rear-mounted, so we are calling it rear-mounted. There is no display protection listed anywhere for the S9 — no Gorilla Glass or any other protection — so a screen guard is a good idea. And there is no IP rating published for the S9, so don’t count on any water or dust resistance.
Performance
Inside is the Unisoc SC9832E, a quad-core chip running at 1.4 GHz (Cortex-A53 cores) with a Mali-T820 MP1 GPU, paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There is a microSDXC slot if you need more room. Unlike the S7, the S9 runs plain Android 12 — not the Go edition — so you get the full Android experience rather than the light build.
Two gigabytes of RAM is entry-level, and there is no getting around that: the S9 is fine for calls, messaging, YouTube and light browsing, but heavy apps and multitasking will make it stutter. The plain Android 12 build helps a little, but it can’t make up for the small amount of memory.
Camera
- Main: 13MP wide
- Auxiliary: CIF
- Selfie: 5MP
Video: 1080p@30fps
The S9 has the strongest camera of the three Sparx phones in this batch: a 13MP main camera backed by a CIF auxiliary lens, and a 5MP selfie camera. Mobileinto’s header calls it a single camera, but its own lens list gives two lenses — this is a dual camera. The 13MP main lens takes decent photos in good light, while the CIF lens adds almost nothing. Video tops out at 1080p at 30 frames per second.
Battery and Charging
The S9 has a 3250mAh Li-Po battery. To be plain about it, no charging wattage is published anywhere for this phone — no source lists one — so we are not going to invent a number. The battery is also the smallest of the three Sparx phones in this batch, and with the 6.1-inch screen it will need charging every day with normal use. It is not a fast-charging phone: no fast charging is ticked for the S9.
Software
The S9 runs plain Android 12. It is not the Go edition — unlike the S7, which uses Android 12 Go — so you get the full Android 12 experience, including the standard Google apps and settings. No Sparx-specific software skin is published for this phone, so expect a plain, light Android experience.
Price in Pakistan
The Sparx S9 is listed at Rs. 13,499 in Pakistan. That is the current price from mobileinto’s November 11, 2026 table and from WhatMobile. No source calls this an official price, so the row is marked Expected rather than Official.
Sparx S9 (2GB RAM + 32GB) — Rs. 13,499 (Expected)
| Model | Sparx S9 |
| Price | Rs. 13,499 |
| Display | 6.1″ IPS LCD, 720 x 1600 pixels (~288ppi) |
| RAM | 2GB |
| ROM | 32GB |
| Released | March 2023 |
One note on PTA: the Rs. 13,499 figure is the current price, but no source calls it official, so it is marked Expected — you should still confirm the PTA status of the individual unit through DIRBS before you pay. A few older figures are floating around: mymobile’s “from Rs. 12,799” is the launch price from March 2023, gadgetsandaccessories’ Rs. 16,999 is stale from December 2024, and yahoomobile’s Rs. 21,700 is a wild outlier — none of them is the current price.
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model number before paying.
- Confirm the warranty — buy from an official Sparx outlet or authorised dealer so the Sparx warranty applies.
- Confirm the PTA status of the unit through DIRBS before paying.
Final Verdict: The best screen of the three, held back by 2GB of RAM
The S9 has the best display and the best camera of the three Sparx phones in this batch at Rs. 13,499, but 2GB of RAM and a 3250mAh battery with no published charging speed are the real limits. Buy it if you want the biggest, sharpest screen of the three for the least money — just don’t expect it to keep up with heavier apps.
