Following the success of the HONOR X9c 5G, smart device provider HONOR Philippines has unveiled its latest offering, the X9c Smart 5G. Marketed as a durable and high-value smartphone, it will be available exclusively on Shopee during the Shopee 3.3 Super Brand Marathon.
“We celebrate the success of the X9c 5G with the launch of the X9c Smart 5G. With its durable hardware and high-performing software, we are confident that fans and tech enthusiasts across the Philippines will enjoy it. We are also proud to partner with Shopee once again for this special release,” said Stephen Cheng, vice president of the company.
The X9c Smart 5G features the same SGS 5-Star Comprehensive Reliability certification as its predecessor. It is designed to withstand drops of up to two meters, offering all-angle, 360-degree drop resistance. The back panel is resistant to scratches from everyday objects such as coins and keys, thanks to its polycarbonate polymethyl methacrylate material.
For water resistance, the device can endure submersion for up to five minutes in 25 centimeters of water and two minutes in 50 centimeters of water. Its triple-layer protection technology prevents water from seeping into delicate internal components. Additionally, the smartphone is built to withstand extreme temperatures, from -30 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius.
The X9c Smart 5G retains the signature circular camera module, housing a 108MP main camera and a 5MP ultra-wide camera. The device incorporates AI-powered features, including AI Night Mode for enhanced low-light photography and AI Motion Sensing Capture, which detects and captures significant movements instantly. The AI Eraser allows users to remove unwanted elements from photos.
Equipped with a 5,800mAh battery, the X9c Smart 5G offers up to 20 hours of video playback and 42 hours of online music streaming. It supports 35W SuperCharge for quick recharging. The battery is designed to maintain 80 percent of its capacity even after approximately 1,000 charge cycles, or around three years of use.
Despite its durability, the smartphone remains sleek, measuring 7.88mm in thickness with a curved-edge design. The front display boasts high brightness, a fast refresh rate, and sharp resolution, bringing flagship-level features to a more accessible device.
The X9c Smart 5G comes with 12GB of physical RAM, expandable with an additional 12GB via Turbo RAM, for a total of 24GB RAM. It includes 256GB of internal storage. Running on MagicOS 8, the smartphone introduces user-friendly interface enhancements such as Magic Capsule for seamless notifications, Magic Portal for quick content transfers, Magic Lock Screen for personalized customization, and Parallel Space for managing two separate home screens.
