HONOR X9c 5G teased for Philippine release soon in 2025

Honor’s next ‘toughest phone’ is coming soon to the Philippines, and the company has already released a few teasers for it.

As expected, it appears to be the HONOR X9c 5G 43, which previously launched in Malaysia and other select markets.

This time, the brand hints at more ‘extreme’ tests for the phone, showcasing its durability—including a high-temperature test, drop tests using a dumbbell and bowling ball, and even being tied in the middle of a tug-of-war.

On paper, we already get the full picture. The HONOR X9c 5G runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

From the rear protrudes two cameras led by a 108-megapixel main shooter with OIS paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide.

Battery-wise, it packs a 6600mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W of fast charging. And for added protection, the phone gets an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
