HONOR X9 Series Throws Hints as No. 1 Mid-range Smartphone in PH


5

2025 is almost over, and 2026 is about to start. For our long-time readers, you may also remember this season as the launch of the HONOR X9 series for the past 3 years – in particular HONOR X9a, HONOR X9b, and HONOR X9c!

HONOR Philippines has dominated the mid-range smartphone market with its iconic and biggest hit HONOR X9 series. It all started with the HONOR X9a 5G in 2023. Since then, HONOR has been dropping hits after hit, literally. At this point, the new year’s campaign of the viral phone series has already become a tradition.

The HONOR X9 series has been synonymous with its exceptional durability, raising the bar year after year. What began with 5-foot drop tests evolved into a 50-foot intense drop test— and this year, HONOR X9c pushed to the extreme, dropped from a helicopter hundreds of feet above ground, further proving its unmatched toughness.

A Look Back on How HONOR X9 Series Became the No. 1 Mid-range Smartphone in PH

When we launched HONOR X9a 5G, we literally had zero expectations…[But]…we did not let the success get into our heads; we just thought it was beginner’s luck. So, we leveled up with HONOR X9b 5G, and again it became a massive hit. Then HONOR X9c 5G came and it was our biggest feat yet, outdoing everything we’ve done in 2023 and 2024,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

That unforgettable moment—when 264 brave participants dropped their HONOR X9c 5G simultaneously—earned HONOR a coveted spot in the Guiness World Records for “The Most People Performing a Mobile Phone Drop Test Simultaneously.” This historic feat positioned HONOR Philippines as a benchmark in delivering credible, impactful messaging, reinforcing HONOR’s place as the standard for innovation, durability, and trust with the Filipino consumers.

One can only think about how we can even top the past three generations of HONOR X9 series. We must admit, it has become a challenge at this point, but with the technology and talent we have at HONOR, it is indeed a good challenge. I’m very excited for everyone to witness what we have been planning for the past few months,” Cheng continued.

The question remains, is HONOR ready to follow the success of the past HONOR X9 series? Stay tuned.

Do I hear guesses for an upcoming HONOR X9d 5G, perhaps?
