Revolutionizing the Mid-range Smartphone Experience with Top-Level Durability and Unparalleled Battery Life
The Tesla Cybertruck raffle wasn’t the only headline-grabbing moment during tonight’s launch—the price reveal proved just as surprising.

Adding to its resilience, the device features a Three-Layer Water Resistance Structure 2.0 with IP69K certification, offering protection against rinsing, splashing, heavy rain, high-temperature water exposure (within 10 seconds), dynamic water movement, and ultra-high-pressure water jets. It has been tested to remain functional after 30 minutes of submersion at 1.5 meters.
Smart usability enhancements such as AI Heavy Rain Touch and AI Glove Touch ensure responsive screen interaction even in wet conditions or while wearing gloves.
8300mAh Battery Ushers in the “8K Era” of Smartphone Power
At the core of the HONOR X9d 5G is an 8300mAh silicon-carbon battery, one of the largest ever introduced in its segment. This breakthrough battery technology enables extended usage across multiple days, eliminating the need for frequent charging or power banks.
In controlled testing, the HONOR X9d 5G achieved:
- Up to 52.5 hours of music streaming

- 16.8 hours of gaming
- 12.3 hours of video calls on a single charge
The battery is further enhanced by a self-developed anti-aging algorithm, ensuring up to six years of durable battery health. Multi-point temperature monitoring allows stable performance in extreme conditions ranging from -30°C to 55°C.
When power runs low, Ultra Power Saving Mode enables up to 60 minutes of calls at just 2% battery, while 66W HONOR SuperCharge rapidly restores power for extended use.
AI-Driven Photography with 108MP Precision
The HONOR X9d 5G is equipped with a 108MP Ultra-Sensing Main Camera featuring a 1/1.67-inch large sensor, delivering high-detail images with improved brightness and clarity in both daylight and low-light conditions. The combination of OIS and EIS ensures stable, sharp photos and videos even in motion.
Advanced imaging is powered by a suite of AI tools, including AI Eraser, AI Cutout, AI Outpainting, AI Upscale, and AI Remove Reflection, allowing users to enhance, restore, and creatively refine photos directly on the device.
With HONOR Connection, users can transfer HD live photos seamlessly between Android and iOS devices. The 4K HD Moving Photo Collage feature further brings images to life, enabling dynamic storytelling and content creation.
