HONOR Philippines is opening 2026 with the launch of the HONOR X9d 5G on January 9. It’s a smartphone being teased alongside the Tesla Cybertruck in both a giveaway, as well as an extreme durability test.
A Durability Matchup with the Tesla Cybertruck

Media and influencers recently posted a video, framing the HONOR X9d 5G as #TheToughestPhone facing off against the all-steel Tesla Cybertruck. This pits the phone’s #AllAngleUltraDefense design against the truck’s reputation for ruggedness.

Instead of limiting the Cybertruck to a simple giveaway prize, it has become an integral storytelling element that highlights resilience, impact protection, and real-world punishment. The story led to its highlight, which was an event that involved a series of durability tests, attended by media and influencers.
Cybertruck Giveaway and Pre-Order Teasers

Part of the buzz surrounding the launch stems from reports that HONOR Philippines is giving away a Tesla Cybertruck during the official pre-order period of the HONOR X9d 5G.
Consumers are encouraged to follow HONOR’s official website, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok pages for more information on the HONOR X9d 5G, including teasers and the upcoming January 9 launch reveal.
