HONOR X9d 5G Sets a New Standard for Tough Midrange Phones with Massive Battery and Php 17999 Launch Price

HONOR Philippines has officially unveiled the HONOR X9d 5G, the newest addition to its popular X Series.

Built for users who want durability, long battery life, and reliable performance without paying flagship prices, the HONOR X9d 5G is shaping up to be one of the most compelling midrange smartphones of the year. Priced at just Php 17,999, early buyers also get the exciting chance to win a Tesla Cybertruck.

Built to Last with Industry Leading Durability

The HONOR X9d 5G raises the bar when it comes to smartphone toughness. It is the first device to receive the SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance Certification, covering drop, water, and dust resistance. It also carries the SGS 5 Star Comprehensive Reliability Certification, proving it can survive drops of up to 2.5 meters on certain surfaces.

HONOR strengthens the device further with its Ultra Bounce Anti Drop Technology, non Newtonian fluid protection, and ultra tough deep tempered glass. This advanced build helps shield the phone from harsh stone surfaces and even extreme impact scenarios.

Water resistance is equally impressive. With a three layer Water Resistance Structure 2.0 and IP69K rating, the HONOR X9d 5G can handle splashes, rinsing, muddy water, high temperature water for short periods, and even high pressure water jets. It has been tested to remain functional after being submerged in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. Features like AI Heavy Rain Touch and AI Glove Touch ensure the screen remains responsive even in wet conditions or while wearing gloves.

Massive 8300mAh Battery That Lasts for Days

One of the biggest highlights of the HONOR X9d 5G is its ultra large 8300mAh silicon carbon battery. This puts the phone firmly in the new generation of long lasting smartphones, easily delivering up to three days of use on a single charge for most users.

HONOR’s self developed anti aging battery algorithm ensures up to six years of durable battery health. Based on internal testing, the device supports 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 on one charge.

The battery is designed to perform reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from minus 30 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius. Even when power drops to just 2 percent, Ultra Power Saving Mode can support up to 60 minutes of calls. When it is time to recharge, the 66W HONOR SuperCharge brings the battery back to life quickly.

AI Powered Photography with a 108MP Camera

Photography lovers will appreciate the HONOR X9d 5G’s 108MP ultra sensing main camera with a large 1 over 1.67 inch sensor. It captures sharp details, vivid colors, and improved brightness in both daytime and low light scenes. Optical and electronic image stabilization work together to reduce blur and camera shake for clearer shots.

The phone also supports HONOR Connection, allowing seamless transfer of HD live photos between HONOR devices and iOS. Creative users can enjoy 4K HD moving photo collages, while built in AI tools such as AI Eraser, AI Cutout, AI Outpainting, AI Upscale, and AI Remove Reflection make photo editing fast and intuitive right on the phone.

Immersive OLED Display with Eye Comfort Features

The HONOR X9d 5G features a large 6.79 inch eye comfort OLED display with 1.5K resolution and support for 1.07 billion colors. With ultra narrow 1.3mm bezels and a 94.6 percent screen to body ratio, content feels immersive whether watching videos or gaming.

A 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and responsive interactions, while a peak HDR brightness of up to 6000 nits keeps the display clear even under bright sunlight. HONOR also includes advanced eye protection features such as 3840Hz PWM dimming, circadian night display, AI defocus display, dynamic dimming, and hardware level low blue light technology for comfortable extended viewing.

Smooth Performance with Snapdragon Power

Under the hood, the HONOR X9d 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, delivering a noticeable boost in everyday performance. Compared to the previous generation, GPU performance is improved by 29 percent and CPU performance by 11 percent.

HONOR RAM Turbo Technology expands the phone’s memory to a 24GB equivalent, combining 12GB physical RAM with 12GB virtual RAM. This allows smooth multitasking and consistent performance even during heavy use. With up to 256GB of internal storage, there is plenty of space for photos, videos, apps, and games.

The HONOR X9d 5G is available in three stylish colors: Reddish Brown, Sunrise Gold, and Midnight Black. It launches at an introductory price of Php 17,999.
