HONOR

Dubai – November 04, 2026 -- The HONOR X9e Pro, the first Pro model in the HONOR X Series, is built to survive drops of up to three metres, aiming to spare owners the cost of a cracked screen.

A cracked screen costs more than the repair bill

Damage can affect display visibility, touch responsiveness and overall usability. For mid-range phones, screen replacement can account for a substantial share of the original purchase price. Owners then have to choose between paying for repairs, living with a damaged phone or buying a replacement.

Downtime adds a second cost

A broken phone can mean missed business calls, delayed replies to important messages and trouble opening work documents. Banking apps, digital payments, navigation and authentication codes also depend on a working device.

DUBAI – October 29, 2026 -- HONOR's X9e Pro smartphone is now available, pairing an 11,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 3-metre drop resistance, IP69K water protection, a 10,000-nit peak-brightness display and a 108MP camera.

It is built to survive drops onto marble

HONOR says the phone is designed to withstand falls from up to three metres onto smooth marble. It is also built to handle drops from up to 1.2 metres at multiple angles.

The protection comes from reinforced corners, high-strength metal supports and specialised display adhesives. Together they help absorb and distribute impact forces, shielding critical internal components.

DUBAI – – October 29, 2026 -- The HONOR X9e Pro packs an 11,000mAh battery into a body about 8.08mm thin and 203g, so it handles like an everyday smartphone rather than a bulky rugged device.

The battery uses fourth-generation silicon-carbon cells

HONOR's fourth-generation silicon-carbon battery raises energy density to store more power in limited space. The company also redesigned the mainboard, display structure and mid-frame to make room for it. AI Power Saving manages consumption across reading, scrolling, video playback and background apps.

Charging runs at 80W with HONOR SuperCharge, and 27W wired reverse charging lets the phone power compatible devices.

Dubai – October 19, 2026 -- The HONOR X9e Pro pairs an 11,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with a 3-metre marble drop rating, IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection, and a body about 8.08mm thin and roughly 203g.

HONOR frames the phone as the latest step in an X Series that has raised its durability bar with each generation. Two of those generations have also earned Guinness World Records titles.

X9a and X9b made the screen and frame tougher

The X9a used 0.65mm reinforced glass rated to withstand more than 900MPa of stress. HONOR tested it with marble drops, squeezing, rolling and steel-ball impact.

The X9b added 360-degree whole-device protection and drop resistance from up to 1.5 metres. It became the first smartphone in the industry to receive Switzerland's SGS Five-Star Overall Drop Resistance Certification.

Dubai – October 14, 2026 -- HONOR has announced the upcoming HONOR X9e Pro, the first Pro model in its X Series, with an 11,000mAh battery, 3-metre drop resistance, IP69K water protection and a 10,000-nit display.

The phone survives 3-metre drops and 10 metres underwater

HONOR says a new 360° shock-absorbing architecture protects against drops of up to 3 metres. The phone earned the SGS Premium Performance 5-Star rating for Drop Resistance in Harsh Scenarios, which covers complex terrains and low-angle drops.

IP69K protection lets it withstand submersion in water up to 10 metres and supports underwater photography. It also handles hot-water splashes of up to 85°C.

Kuala Lumpur – October 12, 2026 -- The HONOR X9e Pro goes on sale in Malaysia at RM1,899 for the 256GB model and RM2,399 for the 512GB version, with an 11,000mAh battery and a 3-metre drop rating. The launch follows an ASEAN Records recognition for the HONOR X9 Series as the top-selling mid-range smartphone series for three consecutive years.

The X9 Series hit a 77% peak share in Malaysia

ASEAN Records certified the achievement for the RM1,450–RM1,700 segment, covering February 2023 to March 2026. According to HONOR, the series reached a peak market share of 77% in February 2026, up from 56%. The run spans several generations, starting with the HONOR X9 in Malaysia in 2022 and continuing through the X9a, X9b, X9c and X9d.

Düsseldorf – September 08, 2026 -- HONOR has expanded its tablet lineup with three new models: the HONOR Pad 20, HONOR Pad 20 Pro, and HONOR Pad X9 Max, targeting everyone from students to power users.

The Pad 20 packs a 12.1-inch 3K display with eye-comfort tech

The device includes AI Defocus Eye Comfort, which the company says improved transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees across more than 2,000 tested scenarios, alongside a circadian night display, hardware-level blue light filtering, and motion-sickness relief rated 89 percent effective for on-the-go use.
