We love a flagship smartphone. However, all the cutting-edge features usually come at a price that isn’t always easy to love.
Lucky for our pockets, HONOR likes to be different and recently introduced the new HONOR X9b 5G with premium flagship capabilities that costs only RM1,499!

This is what your money will get you…
#1 A classic design and leather finish that screams atas
Inspired by the intricate craftsmanship found in luxury watches, the HONOR X9b 5G smartphone features an iconic Classical Dual Ring Design.
Additionally, the Sunrise Orange version of the smartphone is made of an anti-fingerprint vegan leather finish that doesn’t just look sophisticated, it feels like it too. If you know your smartphones, you’ll know that a feature like this is only available in flagship phones that cost more than double the price of HONOR X9b 5G!
Other colour options include Midnight Black (matte finish that’s also anti-fingerprint) and Titanium Silver.
#2 Durability that can survive pretty much any drop
The HONOR X9b 5G is probably tougher than most boyfriends. It boasts a 360° toughness (meaning it can survive a drop at any angle) and is the world’s first recipient of the 5-Star Overall Drop Resistance certification from Switzerland SGS, a leading testing company.

Compared to its predecessor, the phone is resistant to drops from 1.5m. Meanwhile, the toughness of its display has increased 3 times, covering every side of the ultra-tough AMOLED curved display. It’s certainly HONOR’s toughest smartphone to date! Just look at how it survived some brutal tests:
For extra assurance, when you buy the phone, you’ll also receive an upgraded 365-day front and back crack protection for free.
#3 Enough power to run for 3 days
The HONOR X9b 5G is fitted with a 5,800mAH battery, making it one of the largest capacities in its segment. But what does the number mean?
To put it simply, it’ll be able to run up to 3 days with regular usage, and up to 19 hours of video playback, 12 hours of gaming or 22 hours of social media browsing on a SINGLE charge.
#4 No lag, and a large storage space for all your files
If you’re on the phone, chances are, you’re running multiple apps at the same time—and the HONOR X9b 5G is made to keep up with you. Boasting a generous 12GB of RAM and 8GB of virtual HONOR RAM Turbo, you won’t have to deal with an annoying lag.
With 256GB of storage, this also means you don’t need to choose which of your previous photos or videos to delete just to make way for new ones. And in case you’re wondering what its camera is like, these are photos taken with the phone:

#5 A stunning HD display that also protects your eyes
For a midrange smartphone, the HONOR X9b 5G has one of the best displays. Promising a state-of-the-art and smooth visual experience, it comes with a 1.5k retina resolution display with 10.7 billion colours, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1,200nits peak brightness. Perfect for binging on your fav series with cinema-like experience!

Eye protection features have also been included so your eyes are less strained when you find yourself in social media’s infinite scroll or when using the phone before bed. They include: 1,920Hz PWM dimming, circadian night display, dynamic dimming, and a TÜV Rheinland hardware-level low blue light certification.
