Manila, Philippines – January 9, 2026 — HONOR Philippines has officially launched the HONOR X9d 5G, positioning it as the toughest and most powerful mid-range smartphone in its lineup to date. Designed to redefine durability, battery endurance, and everyday performance, the HONOR X9d 5G combines flagship-level protection with an ultra-massive battery and AI-powered features—all in a sleek, lightweight design.
Built to Survive Real Life: Industry-Leading Durability
The HONOR X9d 5G sets a new benchmark in smartphone toughness. It is the first device to earn the SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance Certification, offering comprehensive resistance against drops, water, and dust. It also retains the SGS 5-Star Comprehensive Reliability Certification, confirming durability against drops of up to 2.5 meters on specific surfaces.
Reinforced with HONOR Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology, non-Newtonian fluid protection, and ultra-tough deep-tempered glass, the device is engineered to withstand up to ten additional types of stone-ground impacts—and even air-gun shooting tests.
The phone features a Three-layer Water Resistance Structure 2.0 with IP69K water resistance, allowing it to handle splashes, rinsing, dirty water, high-temperature water (within 10 seconds), dynamic water movement, and ultra-high-pressure water jets. It has also been tested to function after being submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters. With AI Heavy Rain Touch and AI Glove Touch, users can operate the device smoothly even in wet conditions or while wearing gloves.
Massive 8300mAh Battery Ushers in the “8 Era”
Powering the HONOR X9d 5G is an 8300mAh silicon-carbon battery, the largest capacity currently available in its class. Supported by HONOR’s self-developed anti-aging battery algorithm, the battery is rated for up to six years of ultra-durable performance, enabling up to three days of typical use on a single charge.
Based on internal testing, the device delivers up to 52.5 hours of music streaming, 23.8 hours of online video playback, 16.8 hours of gaming, and 12.3 hours of video calls. The battery is designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 55°C. When power runs low, Ultra Power Saving Mode allows up to 60 minutes of calling at just 2% battery, while 66W HONOR SuperCharge ensures fast and efficient recharging.
AI-Powered Photography With a 108MP Camera
The HONOR X9d 5G is equipped with a 108MP Ultra-Sensing Camera featuring a large 1/1.67-inch sensor for improved light capture and detail. With OIS and EIS stabilization, users can capture sharper photos and smoother videos, even in challenging conditions.

AI-powered tools such as AI Eraser, AI Cutout, AI Outpainting, AI Upscale, and AI Remove Reflection allow users to edit and enhance photos directly on the device with minimal effort.
Immersive 1.5K OLED Display With Advanced Eye Comfort
The smartphone features a 6.79-inch OLED Eye-Comfort Display with 1.5K resolution, 1.07 billion colors, and a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid visuals. Its 1.3mm ultra-narrow bezels deliver a 94.6% screen-to-body ratio, while peak HDR brightness reaches an industry-leading 6000 nits.
To protect user comfort, the display includes 3840Hz PWM risk-free dimming, Circadian Night Display, AI Defocus Display, Dynamic Dimming, and hardware-level low blue light technology, making it suitable for extended daily use.
