HONOR is sparking excitement across Malaysia with the upcoming launch of its HONOR X9d 5G, the latest addition to the brand’s best-selling X Series lineup. Since 2022, the HONOR X Series has established itself as a fan favorite, dominating the mid-range smartphone category as the No. 1 best-selling series in Malaysia. The new HONOR X9d 5G continues this momentum, introducing robust upgrades including a drop-resistant body and enhanced water resistance—capable of withstanding prolonged submersion, setting a new standard for durability in its class.
The HONOR X9d 5G has already made a splash even before its official launch. Its striking reddish-brown design was first unveiled in the local film Legasi: Bomba The Movie, during an exclusive preview attended by the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah. The Sultan personally tested the smartphone’s durability and gave it a symbolic ‘thumbs up’ of approval, marking a royal endorsement of its resilience. The smartphone made its second public appearance at the National Day Parade in Putrajaya, where actor Ben Amir showcased its camera by capturing photos of the national celebration before a crowd of more than 100,000 spectators.
With its early debut already generating strong buzz on social media, HONOR is building anticipation for the official unveiling of the HONOR X9d 5G on 18 September 2025. Positioned to deliver both exceptional performance and unmatched durability, the new release is expected to strengthen HONOR’s position as a leader in Malaysia’s mid-range smartphone market.
