P4.5M HONOR X9d 5G Pre‑Order Sets New PH Benchmark
The HONOR X9d 5G has solidified its reputation for toughness and performance after a single buyer in SM North EDSA pre‑ordered 250 units, a total worth of about ₱4.5 million, HONOR Philippines confirmed. The milestone comes amid strong pre‑order demand for the rugged smartphone, reinforcing its appeal in the midrange segment.
Massive pre‑orders reflect strong demand
HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng said the company was surprised by the bulk order but grateful for widespread support. For privacy, the buyer’s purpose wasn’t disclosed, but Cheng noted that the record underscores how the X9d 5G is resonating with Filipino customers across the country.
“We are very happy to receive such overwhelming support—not only from that buyer, but from each and every customer who pre-ordered the HONOR X9d 5G,” he added.
The ongoing pre‑order promo runs until January 23, 2026, and includes a chance to win a Tesla Cybertruck worth ₱17 million for customers who reserve their unit.
Built for real‑world durability and longevity
The HONOR X9d 5G carries SGS Triple‑Resistant Premium Performance and SGS 5‑Star Comprehensive Reliability certifications, meaning the phone is built to withstand everyday hazards such as drops from up to 2.5 meters and exposure to water and dust. Its Ultra‑Bounce Anti‑Drop Technology, deep tempered glass, and reinforced frame help absorb impact while maintaining rugged resilience.
The X9d 5G’s 8,300mAh silicon‑carbon battery is among the largest available in its class. The battery supports a wide temperature range from –30°C to 55°C, and features like Ultra Power Saving Mode help maintain connectivity even when the battery is low. Rapid recharging is supported via 66W HONOR SuperCharge.
Beyond durability and battery life, the X9d 5G also delivers solid multimedia performance. The phone sports a 108MP main camera with a large sensor for detailed photos, and AI‑powered editing tools. Its large 6.79‑inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and robust brightness ensures clear viewing in various lighting conditions.
Pricing, financing, and availability
The HONOR X9d 5G is priced at ₱17,999 during the pre‑order period and retails at ₱19,999 afterward. Customers can also finance the device with Home Credit, with rates as low as ₱24 per day and an extra ₱1,000 discount if paid over 18 months. The financing promo runs until February 15, 2026.
With strong early demand, rugged design credentials, and long battery life, the HONOR X9d 5G is shaping up as one of the most talked‑about midrange smartphones in the Philippine market this year.
