HONOR X9d 5G Officially Launches in Malaysia, Starting from RM1,499

HONOR has officially introduced the HONOR X9d 5G in Malaysia, setting a new benchmark for smartphone durability and performance. Priced from RM1,499, the device maintains the same accessible price point as its predecessor while bringing 10 major upgrades across durability, battery, display, chipset, audio, and network connectivity.

Pre-Order Offer: Free HONOR Pad X7 Tablet and Exclusive Benefits

To celebrate the launch, HONOR is offering customers who pre-order the HONOR X9d 5G between now and 9 October 2025 free gifts worth RM1,146. The package includes an HONOR Pad X7 tablet, plus three exclusive protection plans:

  • 365-day Front and Back Crack Protection

  • 1-Year Extended Warranty

  • 1-Year Liquid Damage Protection

The pre-order is available through HONOR Experience Stores, HONOR Malaysia’s official website, and online channels such as Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop, as well as authorized retailers Harvey Norman, Senheng, SenQ, and Urban Republic.

Durability Upgrades

Reinforced Screen and Flat Display

The HONOR X9d 5G features Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 with 31% deeper tempering, offering stronger resistance against drops and knocks. The switch to a flat display design further enhances durability compared to curved screens.

Internal Shock Protection

Addressing internal damage — which accounts for nearly 40% of smartphone repairs — HONOR developed the industry’s first aerospace-grade non-Newtonian fluid layer, which hardens on impact to absorb up to 300% more shock. A new 6-layer shock absorption framework inspired by bulletproof design adds 112% improvement in overall impact resistance.

IP69K Water and Dust Resistance

The device achieves IP69K certification, surpassing typical consumer smartphones with protection against immersion at 6 meters depth, high-temperature splashes, exposure to 18 types of liquids, and 30-day submersion in 1-meter water. It also introduces Drainage and Dust Removal with vibration-based cleaning, plus AI Heavy Rain Touch and AI Glove Touch for reliable screen response.

SGS Triple-Resistant Certification

The HONOR X9d 5G is the first in its class to obtain SGS Triple-Resistant Premium Performance Certification, reinforcing its industry-leading toughness.

Performance Upgrades

Record-Breaking Battery Life

The smartphone houses a massive 8,300mAh battery (up from 6,600mAh), offering up to three days of use on a single charge and lasting up to six years with consistent reliability. Even at just 2% battery, users can still make an hour of emergency calls or 24 minutes of WhatsApp messaging. It supports 66W HONOR SuperCharge and 7.5W reverse charging.

AI-Powered Camera System

The 108MP Ultra-Sensing Camera with a 1/1.67-inch sensor, OIS + EIS stabilization, and advanced AI tools (AI Eraser, AI Cutout, AI Outpainting, AI Upscale, AI Remove Reflection) delivers sharper photos and videos. Users can also create 4K HD Moving Photo Collages and enjoy HONOR Connection for seamless cross-platform sharing with iOS devices.

Enhanced Display Technology

The 6.79-inch OLED display offers 1.5K resolution, 6,000 nits peak brightness, and 3,840Hz PWM dimming. HONOR adds advanced eye comfort technologies such as Circadian Night Display, AI Defocus Display, Dynamic Dimming, and low blue light protection.

Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 Performance

Powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor and HONOR’s Lightweight OS Engine, the phone delivers up to 90% smoother performance, faster app launches, and extended longevity of up to six years of lag-free use. The HONOR VC Ice Cooling System keeps performance stable during heavy usage.

Upgraded Audio and Connectivity

The new dual-speaker system produces 400% louder sound for an immersive multimedia experience. With a redesigned 93.2% antenna-to-frame ratio, users benefit from stronger, more reliable 5G connections. The device also supports instant NFC access, including Touch ’n Go top-ups.

The HONOR X9d 5G will be available in Malaysia starting 10 October 2025 in four color options: Reddish Brown, Forest Green, Sunrise Gold, and Midnight Black.
