HONOR’s upcoming X9d 5G is already winning hearts – and now, it has received a royal nod of approval. His Majesty Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, Sultan of Pahang, gave a ‘thumbs up’ to the device after experiencing it firsthand during the exclusive preview of Legasi: Bomba The Movie.
HONOR X Series: Malaysia’s Mid-range Champion
Since debuting in Malaysia in 2022, the HONOR X Series has consistently been the No. 1 best-selling mid-range smartphone, praised for its durability, style, and value. The new HONOR X9d 5G builds on that legacy, introducing a reinforced drop-resistant body and superior water resistance, engineered to survive even prolonged submersion.
Public Debut on the Big Screen & National Day Parade
Before its official unveiling, the reddish-brown HONOR X9d 5G made its first appearance in Legasi: Bomba The Movie. During the private screening, the Sultan of Pahang personally tested its toughness, offering a symbolic thumbs up.
The phone later made its second public showcase at Malaysia’s National Day Parade in Putrajaya, where actor Ben Amir used it to capture celebratory moments in front of more than 100,000 spectators.
Official Launch Coming Soon
With anticipation surging across social media, Malaysians won’t have to wait much longer. The HONOR X9d 5G will officially launch on 18 September 2025, promising unparalleled resilience and performance designed for today’s demanding lifestyles.
