Today, HONOR has officially confirmed that the HONOR X9d 5G will launch in Malaysia on 24 September 2025, with full specifications and pricing to be revealed at the event. Positioned as the successor to Malaysia’s best-selling mid-range smartphone, the X9d 5G promises major upgrades in toughness, resilience, and battery life, setting a new benchmark for durability in its category.
Next-Generation Smartphone Durability
As we reported before, the X9d 5G will have improved durability. According to HONOR, the phone has three industry-first breakthroughs, certified with the SGS Triple-Resistant Premium Performance Certification, proving its ability to withstand drops, scratches, water, and extreme heat.
To prove its resilience, HONOR subjected the X9d 5G to extreme stress tests during an exclusive preview. One test saw the phone blasted with intense heat and pressure from a custom-built plasma cannon, yet the device remained fully functional without visible damage.
In another demonstration, an industrial nail gun and stapler gun fired directly at the display, while comparison objects like tempered glass and soda cans cracked under pressure. The HONOR X9d 5G’s screen emerged unscathed.
Industry-Leading Water and Dust Resistance
The HONOR X9d 5G’s IP69K water and dust protection makes it one of the toughest consumer smartphones available today. Demonstrations included submersion in an aquarium for hours, steaming in a kitchen steamer, and immersion in soil-and-water mixtures. In every case, the device continued to operate flawlessly.
The Industry’s Largest Smartphone Battery
Powering the X9d 5G is an 8300mAh silicon-carbon battery, unmatched in the industry. In a comparative endurance test with 20 competing smartphones, HONOR’s device outlasted every other model. It even powered a neon LED board via reverse charging, proving both capacity and efficiency.
