HONOR X9c Smart 5G to launch in PH February 20th

HONOR Philippines will soon launch a new variant of its latest mid-range offering, the HONOR X9c 5G: and that is the HONOR X9c Smart 5G. Honor touts the phone’s tough build at a relatively lower price.

While the brand has been sharing teaser photos, we already have a full look at the new model.

As seen in its Malaysian website listing, the phone features a design reminiscent of the HONOR X9b 5G. On paper, the X9c Smart boasts a 6.8-inch Full HD+ TFT LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra SoC, and a 108-megapixel main camera.

For enhanced durability, the phone does hold an SGS five-star drop resistance certification. However, Honor did not specify its IP rating but instead mentioned that the phone offers “360-degree full-body rinse protection.”
