HONOR X9d Three Industry’s First KSP Review

HONOR are set to unveil their brand new addition to their X series, with the upcoming launch of the HONOR X9d smartphone! The device is set to come with major upgrades in its durability which will set a new benchmark for toughness in the mid-range segment as it comes with three industry-first innovations.

Industry’s 1st SGS Triple-Resistant Certificate

The improvements made to the durability of the HONOR X9d has been recognised after they were awarded with the SGS Triple-Resistant Certification, and they are also the first smartphone to receive this certification. When comparing the device to its predecessor, the HONOR X9c, the X9d is 25% tougher and is able to better resist knocks and drops better, which is especially good news for users who tend to have accidental drops.

The device is built with a bulletproof-inspired shock-absorption framework which ensures that the device would be able to be protected both internally and externally. Complementing this design would be Ultra Deep Tempered Glass, which will allow the device to easily handle bumps and light knocks better. Even when using an industrial-grade Nail gun, the phone shows no signs of damage

Finally, the X9d features a flat screen design, and unlike devices with curved designs, the flat screen layout further enhances resilience while giving the phone a sleek, modern aesthetic that blends durability with style.

Industry’s 1st IP69K Protection

Asides from its defences against knocks and impacts, the HONOR X9d is also the first smartphone to have an IP69K water and dust protection, which is also the highest level of protection currently available. This rating not only suggests that the device has complete dust-tightness, but it is also able to withstand high-pressure and high-temperature water jets.

Asides from its ability to have protection against dust and water, the device is also able to proactively expel water and dust from its ports, maintaining long-term performance and reliability even after exposure to challenging environments. This feature is very helpful, especially if there’s a situation where water or dust enters the phone.

Industry’s 1st 8,300mAh battery

Another incredible feat that the HONOR X9d was able to achieve would be the fact that it is the first smartphone to feature the largest battery capacity for smartphones so far, the 8,300mAh battery. This powerhouse device ensures that battery life will be the least of your concerns throughout the day, regardless of whatever activities you’re doing.

Though its battery size isn’t the only reason which allows users to have prolonged usage as it also comes with the support of HONOR MagicOS 9.0 Power Saving Technology, and this allows the device to intelligently manage power consumption to deliver extended usage time across gaming, streaming, and productivity tasks. In addition to this, the X9d is still able to last an entire day even after fully reverse charging an iPhone to full battery.

Verdict

In conclusion, the upcoming HONOR X9d is an incredible new smartphone which takes durability to the next level. With the phone set to release on the 24th of September 2025, more information regarding the device’s features will be revealed.
