Since its debut in 2022, the HONOR X Series has grown into more than just a smartphone line, it has become a reliable everyday companion for Malaysians. Whether it’s surviving unexpected downpours, slipping from busy hands, or powering through long hours, the X Series has continuously delivered on durability and performance. This unwavering reliability has cemented its position as Malaysia’s No.1 Best-Selling Mid-Range Smartphone for three consecutive years, proudly earning the title “Pilihan Utama Rakyat Malaysia” or Malaysia’s Top Choice Smartphone.
HONOR X9: The Start of a Durable Legacy
The journey of the HONOR X Series in Malaysia began in 2022 with the launch of the HONOR X9, a device built on the bold promise of “Lagi Tahan, Lagi Best.” At a time when many users were frustrated with fragile smartphones, the HONOR X9 stood out by putting durability at the heart of its design. More than just a phone, it marked the start of a new movement in the mid-range market, one that proved smartphones could be both resilient and feature-packed. Malaysians quickly resonated with this fresh approach, and from there, a loyal community of X Series users began to grow, united by a brand that dared to prioritize strength and reliability.
Redefining Toughness: The Rise of Shatter-Resistant Screens
When HONOR listened to users, one frustration echoed louder than the rest: fragile screens that cracked far too easily. Curved displays, while stylish, were often the first to shatter. Determined to change this cycle, HONOR redefined durability with the successors to the X9, the HONOR X9a and later the HONOR X9b. The X9a became an internet sensation, earning the title of the toughest curved screen phone, while the X9b smashed sales records to become Malaysia’s No.1 best-selling mid-range smartphone.
But HONOR didn’t stop there. By 2024, the HONOR X9c 5G arrived, raising the bar once again. Nicknamed the “Drop-Resistance King,” it set a new benchmark for resilience in its class. Each release carried forward the legacy of the X Series, strengthening HONOR’s bond with Malaysians and proving that smartphones could be both stylish and unshakably tough.
HONOR X9d 5G Sets Three New Industry Records
As 2025 unfolds, HONOR crowns a new king in the smartphone arena, the HONOR X9d 5G. Far from being just another upgrade, this device marks a true revolution, setting new benchmarks in durability and performance.
The HONOR X9d 5G makes history with three industry-first innovations:
- The world’s first smartphone to receive SGS Triple-Resistant Premium Performance Certification.
- The first device to bring IP69K Water and Dust Resistance protection to consumers.
- The only phone globally equipped with a massive 8,300mAh battery for unparalleled endurance.


Designed to withstand drops, defy the elements, and power through days without breaking a sweat, the HONOR X9d 5G is more than just durable, it’s virtually unstoppable.
Beyond Toughness: Confidence in Every Hand
Durability doesn’t stop at the build; it extends to the experience of owning the device. HONOR has long believed that smartphones should be worry-free companions, not sources of stress. That’s why the X Series is supported by robust after-sales care and protection plans, ranging from extended warranties to convenient screen replacement options. With the upcoming HONOR X9d 5G, Malaysians can look forward to even more comprehensive coverage, reaffirming HONOR’s commitment to delivering not only cutting-edge devices, but also lasting peace of mind.
