HONOR celebrates record-breaking success across Malaysia

THE excitement surrounding the HONOR X9d 5G says a lot about what Malaysians truly value — reliability, thoughtful design and features that make daily life smoother.

From long queues during its first sale to an early pre-order sell-out, the buzz isn’t just about specs or price. It’s about a phone that feels well-balanced — practical enough for work, yet stylish enough for every moment in between.

Blending comfort, endurance and simplicity, the HONOR X9d 5G is designed for users who appreciate technology that quietly works with them, not against them.

With a strong focus on durability, long battery life and an immersive display, it captures what a dependable mid-range smartphone should be — versatile, efficient and effortless to use.

A record-breaking start

The HONOR X9d 5G’s debut was met with overwhelming enthusiasm. During its pre-order phase — originally set from Sept 24 to Oct 9 — all available units sold out within just three days across both online and offline platforms. When official sales began, eager customers formed queues at authorised stores nationwide to secure their devices from the first batch.

This early success once again highlights the growing influence of HONOR’s X Series. Having expanded its market share from 33% in 2023 to 56% in 2025, the X Series now accounts for one in every two mid-range smartphones sold in Malaysia — a remarkable achievement intoday’s competitive market.

This feat was officially recognised with the Asean Records for “Top-Selling Mid-Range Smartphone”, presented by Asean Records managing directors Eldrick Koh and Gillian Ooi during a special ceremony with HONOR Malaysia. The recognition reflects HONOR’s strong connection with Malaysian consumers and its continued ability to deliver real value through product innovation.

Upgraded durability

Built to keep up with real life, the HONOR X9d 5G comes with the SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance certification, recognising its enhanced protection against drops, dust, and water. This makes it a dependable companion whether you’re working outdoors, travelling, or managing your everyday routine.

Powering it all is an 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery, capable of lasting up to three days on a single charge. The phone’s smart thermal management system helps maintain stable performance in various conditions — from long commutes to hot, humid afternoons — ensuring users stay connected with minimal interruptions.

Immersive clarity

Visuals take centre stage with the HONOR X9d 5G’s 6.79-inch OLED display, designed for smooth and comfortable viewing. It features a 1.5K ultra-clear resolution, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and up to 6000 nits peak brightness, making it easy to use even under bright sunlight.

Whether you’re catching up on your favourite shows, reading on the go, or scrolling through photos, the DCI-P3 cinema-grade colour accuracy delivers lifelike detail and vibrant hues.

The ultra-slim 1.3mm bezel gives the screen an almost borderless feel — sleek, modern and easy to handle, whether in the office or at a cafe.

Masterpiece shots

The HONOR X9d 5G features a 108MP ultra-high-resolution main camera that captures detail-rich photos with impressive clarity. With Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), even quick or spontaneous shots remain sharp and steady.

Additionally, its All-in-One AI Star Photo Editing tools make post-editing effortless —automatically enhancing colours, tones and lighting so every image looks polished and ready to share.

For creative users, the 4K HD moving photo collage feature transforms simple moments into short, cinematic clips — making it easier to share memories in a fun, polished way.

From travel adventures to everyday snapshots, the HONOR X9d 5G makes photography effortless and enjoyable.

Limitless performance Inside, the HONOR X9d 5G runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 mobile platform, delivering efficient power and responsiveness to everything you do.

Whether it’s multitasking, gaming, or managing productivity apps, the phone’s AI-optimised system ensures consistent performance throughout the day.

Its advanced VC cooling system, which combines fifth-generation hexagonal graphite with ultra-light stainless steel, improves heat dissipation for smoother o eration. The result is a phone that stays cool and performs reliably, even under heavy use — ideal for everyday multitaskers.

Sales support

HONOR continues to stand out for its thoughtful after-sales care, ensuring users enjoy lasting confidence long after purchase.
