HONOR has kicked off 2024 with what could be another another smash hit in the Philippines.
The former Huawei sub-brand has introduced the now-all-angle-ultra-tough HONOR X9b 5G locally, giving it roughly the same price tag as last year’s HONOR X9a 5G — P16,999 (around $304) — and freebies worth P4,000 ($71).
This year’s model boasts a 6.78-inch curved 120Hz AMOLED screen with SGS Five-star Overall Drop Resistance Certification tucked under its belt. In normal speak, it means you get a durable display in all angles, allowing it to withstand severe impacts. And while we don’t recommend dropping or smashing your phone like what we, other content creators, and HONOR did to the X9b, isn’t it reassuring that at least your unit won’t easily break if you do drop it accidentally?
But then what if you’re looking for a smartphone that’s not only tough, but has other important features such as a long battery life, large storage, an efficient processor, and a decent camera, not to mention a striking design? Is the HONOR X9b 5G even worth considering? Watch the video we embedded on this page for our full review of the device!
