While shopping for the holidays, we spotted several in-store materials for the HONOR X9d 5G displayed prominently inside an HONOR retail store. The posters and standees, as well as online teasers, suggest that the brand is already preparing for an official Philippine launch, with key specifications, preorder details, and early buyer incentives now visible to the public.
Based on the in-store materials, the HONOR X9d 5G positions durability as a core focus, with promotional boards highlighting 2.5-meter drop resistance alongside IP69K water resistance, a rating typically associated with protection against high-pressure water and dust. These claims are reinforced by visual demonstrations on the displays.
Battery life also appears to be one of the phone’s main selling points. The materials indicate an 8300mAh battery, advertised to last up to three days on a single charge, paired with 66W fast charging. For photography, the HONOR X9d 5G is listed with a 108MP main camera, supported by an ultra-wide rear camera and a 16MP front camera. The device is also shown to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor and ships with MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15.
Storage details are clearly stated on the device pamphlets, showing a configuration of 24GB RAM, combining physical and extended RAM, with 256GB internal storage. Color options spotted include Sunrise Gold, Reddish Brown, and Midnight Black.
Beyond the device itself, the in-store materials also outline preorder incentives. Customers who preorder the HONOR X9d 5G are shown to receive a gift box that includes a Jisulife 5 portable fan. The preorder period is indicated on the display as running from January 9 to January 23, 2026, with redemption details tied to official HONOR stores.
One of the most eye-catching parts of the campaign is the preorder raffle. According to the standees, customers who preorder the HONOR X9d 5G will be entered into a draw to win a Tesla Cybertruck. This marks a huge upgrade from last year’s preorder raffle, which offered a Rolex watch as the grand prize. The Cybertruck visual is displayed prominently above the HONOR X9d 5G stand, clearly meant to draw attention from mall-goers and holiday shoppers.
While HONOR has yet to release a formal press announcement confirming pricing and exact availability, the presence of these materials in stores strongly suggests that the Philippine launch is imminent. With preorder freebies, a high-profile raffle prize, and a heavy emphasis on durability and battery life, the HONOR X9d 5G appears to be positioned as a mid-range device aimed at users who prioritize endurance and everyday reliability.
Will HONOR’s bold preorder raffle and durability-focused messaging be enough to make the X9d 5G stand out in the crowded Philippine smartphone market just like its previous three predecessors?
