HONOR has launched its latest smartphone, the HONOR X9b 5G, in the Philippines today. Unveiled at a celebrity-studded event hosted by Miss Charm Philippines and HONOR star Pauline Amelincx, HONOR X9b 5G offers premium features and an elegant design, and outstanding durability.
Rocking a vibrant 6.78-inch curved AMOLED curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1200 nits of brightness, the sleek and lightweight X9b 5G delivers an immersive viewing experience. It’s powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The device packs a 5,800mAh battery with 35W super charging. The phone’s camera system is led by a massive 108MP main lens, alongside a 5MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP macro lens, and a 16MP snapper at the front, for highly detailed photos day and night.
HONOR X9b 5G’s design stands out, thanks to eye-catching color options – Emerald Green and Sunrise Orange. The textured vegan leather back also provides a comfortable, secure grip. Weighing just 185g, the phone is incredibly thin and lightweight for a device with such a large screen.
It also boasts IP53 dust and water resistance and is the first in the industry to have a 5-star overall drop resistance certification from SGS, for durability to match its stylish aesthetics.
