Besides toughness, the HONOR X9d 5G offers 8300mAh battery

Published Feb 23, 2026 09:39 am
The HONOR X9d 5G arrives as a heavy hitter that targets the sweet spot of the Filipino market: durability, marathon battery life, and high-end photography for under ₱18,999.
The new king of "Dura-Battery"?
If there is one thing HONOR has staked its reputation on in the PH, it’s toughness. The X9d 5G continues this legacy of industry-leading durability, but the real showstopper is the 8300mAh battery.
In a world where 5000mAh is the standard, 8300mAh is essentially a power bank with a phone attached. Whether you’re stuck in Manila traffic or on a long weekend in El Nido, this device is built to outlast your schedule without breaking a sweat.
Pro-grade AI photography for every Juan
The HONOR X9d 5G features a 108MP Ultra-sensing Camera (1/1.67” sensor). While the megapixel count is impressive, the real magic happens in the software. By combining OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), the phone tackles the "shaky hand" syndrome common in night shots and quick snaps.
To keep up with the AI era, HONOR has integrated a suite of "magic" editing tools directly into the gallery, such as erasing unwanted objects in the background.

A display that rivals the sun
Outdoor visibility is often where mid-range phones fail, but the X9d 5G boasts a peak HDR brightness of 6000nits. For context, that’s bright enough to remain perfectly clear even under the harsh Philippine noon sun.
Visual Specs at a Glance:
Size: 6.79-inch Eye-comfort OLED.
Resolution: 1.5K ultra-high resolution with 1.07 billion colors.
Bezels: Flagship-level 1.3mm (94.6% screen-to-body ratio).
Refresh Rate: 120Hz for buttery-smooth scrolling.
Eye Protection: 3840Hz PWM Dimming and AI Defocus Display to reduce digital eye strain.
Price and Availability in the Philippines
The HONOR X9d 5G is positioned as a "flagship-killer" in the mid-range segment. It offers a premium look and "unbreakable" build without the flagship price tag.
Official Price: ₱18,999
Where to Buy: Available now at all HONOR Experience Stores, authorized dealers, and online via Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
The HONOR X9d 5G makes a powerful statement as being a tough phone that can handle all the bumps and scrapes as well as having the battery to power through your day, this is becomes an easy choice.
