Honor has officially locked in the launch date for its next mid-range phone, the Honor X9d, and it’s happening in Malaysia later this month. The event is set for September 24, 2025, at 3 PM local time (7 AM UTC), and early teasers are already giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
From the looks of it, the X9d takes heavy inspiration from the Honor X70 that launched in China back in July, but with a few notable tweaks, one of which is a 108MP main camera. The company is putting ruggedness front and center. Just like the Honor X70, this phone comes with an IP69K rating, meaning it can survive not just dust and water, but even high-pressure sprays. Honor also highlights a reinforced frame designed to handle drops better than your average glass-slab phone.
Power won’t be an issue either. Inside sits a massive 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery, one of the largest we’ve seen in a mainstream smartphone. That should mean multi-day endurance, especially appealing for users who are often away from a charger.
On the design side, Honor is sticking with familiar looks but adding a splash of variety. The reddish brown finish from the X70 is returning, joined by a new Sunlight Gold option. Camera upgrades are also on the table: instead of the X70’s 50MP main shooter, the X9d is tipped to ship with a 108MP primary sensor with OIS, a big leap for anyone who cares about detail and low-light photos.
Full specs are being kept under wraps until launch day, but the rugged build, massive battery, and upgraded cameras position the X9d as a strong contender in the durability-focused mid-range segment.
