The all new HONOR X9d 5G packs SGS Triple-Resistant Certification.
SINCE 2022, the HONOR X Series has been a trusted sidekick for Malaysians.
Whether it’s braving sudden downpours, slipping from busy hands, or powering through long days, the X Series has consistently proven its reliability.
For three consecutive years, it has stood among Malaysia’s best-selling mid-range smartphones, earning the title of ‘Malaysia’s Top Choice Smartphone’.
Cracking the code
It all began in 2022 with the launch of the HONOR X9—the first X Series smartphone in Malaysia—introduced with the bold promise of ‘Lagi Tahan, Lagi Best,’ setting a new benchmark for durability.
That promise struck a chord with Malaysians who were weary of fragile devices. As one of the first truly durable smartphones in the market, Malaysian consumers quickly embraced this fresh approach, and soon, a loyal following formed around a brand.
Era of the toughest screens
As HONOR’s engineers tuned into everyday frustrations, one problem kept surfacing: the screens were fragile and shattered far too easily.
Cracked displays became the kryptonite of smartphone users everywhere, especially with curved designs.
HONOR saw an opportunity to break this cycle, introducing successors to the X9 – the X9a and later the X9b – two models that redefined what toughness could mean in a smartphone.
The HONOR X9a quickly became an online sensation, earning the reputation as the toughest curved-screen phone, while the X9b rewrote sales records to claim the title of ‘Malaysia’s Number One Best-Selling Mid-Range Smartphone.’
By the time the X9c 5G hit the market in 2024, the X Series was celebrated by many beyond recognition.
Dubbed the ''Drop-Resistance King', the X9c 5G elevated HONOR’s reputation further, setting a new benchmark for mid-range durability.
Strong reign at the top
For three years in a row, the X Series has held the number one spot across all channels in the mid-range tier, growing a 33% market share in 2023 to an astonishing 55% in 2025.
To put this into perspective: Out of every two mid-range smartphones sold in Malaysia, one proudly carries the X Series badge.
This achievement is a powerful testament not only to the resilience of the product but also to the deep trust HONOR has earned from millions of users nationwide.
The next king: HONOR X9d 5G
HONOR is now introducing a new champion to the line-up – the HONOR X9d 5G, which debuts with three industry's first technologies.
It is touted to be the world’s first smartphone to earn a SGS Triple-Resistant Premium Performance Certification, as well as the first device on the market to feature IP69K Water and Dust Resistance protection.
It is also said to be the only phone in the world to boast a mammoth 8300mAh battery.
Promise of peace of mind
HONOR has always believed that owning a phone should be worry-free. That’s why the X Series comes with generous after-sales support and comprehensive protection plans – covering everything from extended warranties to screen replacement options.
With the launch of the HONOR X9d 5G, users can look forward to even more advanced protection plans, reinforcing HONOR’s commitment to delivering not just devices, but true peace of mind.
Growing legacy
Four years on, the HONOR X Series has grown from an unfamiliar newcomer into a household name and nationwide phenomenon.
It has not only weathered intense competition but also redefined what Malaysians expect from a mid-range smartphone: resilience, reliability and relentless innovation.
With the arrival of the HONOR X9d 5G, HONOR once again raises the bar – proving that the X Series is a trusted companion built to keep pace with modern Malaysian life.
