In an extraordinary display of confidence in their product's durability, HONOR made history today by organizing the largest simultaneous smartphone drop test ever conducted. The event featured the HONOR X9c smartphone and brought together over 200 participants, including media representatives, influencers, and vloggers.
There were exactly 264 participants -- including yours truly -- who have drop tested the HONOR X9c 5G.
We have had a couple of dry runs before the official count. Perhaps four or five times, we had to practice dropping the phone all at the same time. Imagine 264 HONOR X9c 5G phones dropped multiple times and yet remained durable as if fresh out of the box. It was really fun.
And it did happen, HONOR hits a major milestone and snagged the Guiness World Record for "The Most People Performing a Mobile Phone Drop Test Simultaneously.”
“A win for HONOR is a win for the Filipinos. Prior to its launch, the toughest phone already has already set a Guinness World Record and this is a feat for everyone who supported us since day one. But we still have big news to share with everyone so stay tuned on January 10,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
The new HONOR X9c 5G sports an all-angle triple defense feature that has an SGS 5-Star rating for Drop Resistance. It also defied an industry standard as it can withstand up to two-meter drops.
HONOR X9c 5G also has water resistance feature with an IP65M rating. It can be submerged up to 25cm deep for a maximum of 5 minutes.
The biggest surprise of HONOR for the HONOR X9c 5G is the boiling test – a new trend that will make social media go wild yet again. With its heat resistance, the toughest phone can take extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C cold to 70°C hot.
So, if you want to check it out, stay tuned for the official launch on January 10 live on Facebook.
We will also have our own official review going up real soon, so stay tuned!
