Honor Malaysia recently announced the upcoming release of the Honor X9c Smart 5G, a smartphone designed with ultra-tough triple defense technology. Following the success of the Honor X9c, known for its exceptional durability, this new model aims to build on its predecessor’s strengths. While details about its positioning remain unclear, the “Smart” branding raises questions about whether it will surpass the Honor X9c or serve as a lighter version.
Early glimpses of the Honor X9c Smart 5G reveal a design strikingly similar to the Honor X60 5G, which launched earlier in China. If the Honor X9c Smart 5G mirrors the X60 5G in specifications, users can expect a MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor powering and a 6.8-inch Full HD+ 120Hz display. The device is rumored to feature a dual-camera setup, led by a 108MP main sensor, promising impressive photography capabilities.
One of the most notable aspects of the Honor X9c Smart 5G is its focus on resilience. It is expected to come with 360° water resistance up to a depth of 25 centimeters and anti-fall protection from heights of up to 2 meters on rough surfaces. Additionally, the phone will be equipped with a 5800mAh battery, ensuring long-lasting performance even under demanding conditions.
With its powerful hardware and rugged design, the Honor X9c Smart 5G could redefine the durability standards for 5G smartphones. Whether it will become the flagship model in the X9c series or serve as a cost-effective alternative remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Honor is raising the bar for tough, high-performance smartphones.
