The HONOR X9d 5G is approaching its debut, bringing innovative improvements in battery life, durability, and imaging performance. The official unveiling is scheduled first in Malaysia, where anticipation has built up among smartphone enthusiasts.
What is the HONOR X9d 5G Launch Date?
The launch event for the HONOR X9d 5G is officially set for September 24, 2025, in Malaysia. This signals HONOR’s commitment to delivering advanced technology to Asian markets, and the excitement around the X9d’s new features is growing steadily. Industry observers are watching to see whether HONOR will expand rollout to other countries in the region, particularly the Philippines, given prior demand and the brand’s history of product releases.
What are the HONOR X9d 5G’s Key Features?
The HONOR X9d 5G boasts a rugged, shock-resistant frame, IP69K water and dust resistance, and an 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery for extended, reliable performance.
The main camera could be using a 50MP or 108MP sensor with optical image stabilization and AI-powered photography features aimed at delivering richer, clearer images in all conditions. The handset will be offered in eye-catching colorways such as Reddish Brown and Sunlight Gold.
What are the HONOR X9d 5G’s Specifications?
Sporting a large 6.79-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness up to 6000 nits, the device prioritizes immersive visuals. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage for seamless performance.
It will have IP69, IP68, and IP66 ratings, while 80W fast charging supports its high capacity battery. It runs MagicOS 9.0 (based on Android 15), a powerful cooling system, and stereo speakers round out the package.
As you may have noticed, the HONOR X9d 5G seems to share its design and a lot of its specs with the HONOR X70, which was launched in China back in July.
Is the HONOR X9d 5G Coming to the Philippines?
The HONOR X9d 5G’s initial launch will be in Malaysia, but there is increasing speculation about a Philippine release. Given previous regional launches, HONOR could potentially introduce the X9d 5G in the Philippines in the same timeframe that it introduced its predecessor, the HONOR X9c 5G.
