HONOR has raised the bar once again with its latest release, the HONOR X9d 5G, a smartphone engineered for endurance, performance, and bold innovation. Designed for explorers, professionals, and anyone who refuses to be limited, the X9d 5G promises to deliver unmatched durability, long-lasting power, and advanced AI features that simplify everyday life.

Record-Breaking Durability

The HONOR X9d 5G has already made history, earning a Guinness World Record for the highest smartphone drop. Surviving a fall from 6.133 meters without a single crack, the feat demonstrates that a phone can be both rugged and stylish. With six-layer drop-resistant architecture and Ultra Bounce Anti-Drop Technology 3.0, the X9d offers 112% stronger protection than its predecessors. Tested on surfaces like cobblestone, asphalt, and tactile paving, it carries both Premium Performance Certification and SGS 5-Star Reliability Certification, including IP69K water resistance and extreme dust endurance.

Display That Withstands Life Outdoors

The phone features a 6.79-inch Eye-Comfort OLED display with 2,640×1,200 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. With up to 6,000 nits of HDR brightness, it remains clear even under direct sunlight. Ultra-narrow 1.3mm bezels maximize viewing space while toughened glass protects against scratches and impacts. Eye-protection and dynamic dimming technologies ensure comfort during prolonged use, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, or work outdoors.

Power That Lasts for Days

Equipped with an 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery, the X9d 5G can handle up to two days of heavy usage. Its self-developed anti-ageing algorithm ensures longevity over six years, while multi-point temperature monitoring keeps the phone stable in conditions ranging from –30°C to 55°C. For rapid recharge, 66W HONOR SuperCharge restores power quickly, while 7.5W reverse wired charging allows the device to act as a mini power hub for other gadgets.

Advanced Photography and AI Features

The X9d 5G delivers 108MP main camera performance with a large 1/1.67-inch sensor and OIS + EIS stabilization, capturing vibrant and steady photos in any setting. A 16MP front camera embedded in the display supports crisp selfies and video calls. AI Editor tools—like AI Eraser, AI Cutout, and AI Outpainting—allow users to edit photos effortlessly, turning every shot into a story. AI-driven features like AI Call Translation, AI Summary, and Magic Portal 2.0 enhance productivity and connectivity across daily tasks.

Seamless Connectivity and Ecosystem Integration

With Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-C, and NFC, X9d 5G ensures fast, reliable connections. The device integrates smoothly with the HONOR ecosystem, enabling instant file sharing with MagicBook laptops, audio handoff to Earbuds X6, and smart home control via MagicOS 9.0.
