Meet the Unbreakable AI Smartphone HONOR X9d: Tougher, Smarter, and Ready for Anything
HONOR is back with a new addition to its durable lineup: the Unbreakable AI Smartphone HONOR X9d. If you loved the HONOR X9c for its ruggedness, get ready as this all-rounder takes everything you liked and elevates it to the next level. From tougher drop protection and superior water and heat resistance to the largest battery in its class and smarter AI features, the HONOR X9d is designed for people who need a phone that can truly keep up with real life.
Tougher Than Ever
Durability has always been at the heart of the HONOR X9 series, starting from the very first HONOR X9a with its strongest screen at its time, and HONOR X9d continues that legacy without compromise. It is officially rated to survive drops of up to 2.5 meters[1]; however, it will also be tested for durability from greater heights. Moreover, it is designed to handle 10+ different types of surfaces—so yes, you don’t have to worry about those unexpected drops.
Water resistance gets a serious upgrade as well. While HONOR X9c was rated IP65M, HONOR X9d now boasts the industry’s highest IP69K[2], meaning it can withstand high-pressure water, rain, splashes, hot water up to 85°C, and even submersion up to 6 meters[3]. And no matter how extreme the conditions, it still performs reliably between -30°C and 55°C[4].
The Largest Battery in Its Class
One of the biggest complaints about phones is always battery life, and HONOR has clearly listened. HONOR X9d packs a massive 8300mAh[5] battery the largest in its class[6], compared to the 6600mAh in HONOR X9c, which was already considered impressively big when it first launched. It supports 66W HONOR SuperCharge[7] for rapid charging and also features reverse charging, allowing you to power up other devices in just minutes.
Smarter Camera & Advanced AI Editing Tools
The HONOR X9d builds on the photography strengths of HONOR X9c, keeping the 108MP AI rear camera with OIS[8] while adding Underwater Photo Mode for stunning shots up to 6 meters deep. It also comes with an upgraded AI Editor, making photo editing easier and more versatile than ever.
The all-new smartphone doesn’t just capture photos, it enhances them. Expanding on HONOR X9c’s AI Eraser, HONOR X9d introduces a full suite of AI editing tools, including AI Erase Passers-by, AI Upscale, AI Outpainting, AI Cutout, AI Face Tune – Eyes Open, and AI Remove Reflection. These AI-powered features let you create professional-quality edits effortlessly, whether you’re removing unwanted people or reflections, improving image resolution, expanding backgrounds, isolating subjects, or fine-tuning facial details.
Brighter Display
HONOR X9d’s display is a real standout. With 6,000 nits of peak brightness, it’s incredibly easy to see even in bright sunlight, giving you sharp, clear visuals no matter where you are. Compared to HONOR X9c’s 4,000 nits, the difference is noticeable, especially outdoors or in bright lighting conditions.
AI That Actually Helps
Beyond durability, performance and photography, HONOR X9d is packed with AI tools that actually make your life easier. While HONOR X9c came with AI Magic Portal, HONOR X9d expands the suite with AI Writing, AI Call Translation, and AI Subtitles.
