HONOR Philippines is off to a strong start this year. The newly launched HONOR X9d 5G recorded a 160% increase in first-day sales compared to last year’s HONOR X9c 5G, making it one of the brand’s most successful local launches so far.
The momentum didn’t happen overnight. HONOR kicked things off as early as January 1 with viral drop tests that quickly went viral online. This was followed by a buzz-heavy HONOR X9d 5G vs. Tesla Cybertruck experiential event, and later capped with a formal launch held at the Grand Hyatt. By January 24, when the phone was officially released to stores nationwide, demand was already clearly evident.
HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng shared his appreciation during the launch: "On behalf of HONOR Philippines, I thank our loyal HONOR fans, partners, and media friends for the overwhelming support for the HONOR X9d 5G. This success would not have been possible without your trust and belief in us. We are truly grateful, and we promise to continue bringing you tougher, smarter, and more exciting innovations.”
Built to Take a Beating
What’s driving the attention is the phone’s focus on toughness. HONOR is positioning the X9d 5G as its most durable phone yet, designed for users who don’t want to baby their device. It offers all-around drop, water, and dust resistance, with protection against drops of up to 2.5 meters on certain surfaces.

This durability comes from HONOR’s Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology, paired with Non-Newtonian fluid and an ultra-tough deep-tempered glass. According to the brand, the phone can handle more types of stone-ground impact and even extreme stress tests like air-gun shooting. It’s clearly built for daily mishaps, not just careful desk use.
Launch Turned Fan Celebration
To mark the first day of sales, HONOR held a fan fest at SM Megamall Fashion Hall on January 24. The event brought together OPM acts and performers, including Sponge Cola, HORI7ON, Fitterkarma, Shanne Dandan, Figvres, and Pommelo, turning the launch into a full-on celebration.
Pre-order buyers were treated to exclusive HONOR x Linya-Linya collaboration shirts, along with various giveaways throughout the day. It felt less like a typical phone launch and more like a community event for fans who’ve been following the brand.
