This year’s 68th National Day parade at Putrajaya was a spectacle to behold, with many participants stealing the spotlight. Among them was HONOR’s yet-to-be-launched smartphone, which became the talk of Malaysians. The ‘mysterious’ device was unveiled by actor Ben Amir, who stood atop a fire and rescue truck alongside other firefighters.

For the first time, HONOR unveiled a device live in front of over 100,000 of spectators. Ben appeared holding a striking red leather smartphone, instantly drawing the crowd’s attention. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that this was the same phone featured in Legasi Bomba The Movie where Ben’s character received it as an appreciation for his service. Now, seeing the smartphone in real life, many are wondering if this is HONOR’s latest durable release: the all-new X9 series.
Why Does This Mysterious Smartphone Resonate with Firefighters?
The striking red back cover of the unlaunched smartphone bears a strong resemblance to the bold color of firefighter’s uniforms. More than just a design, the smartphone's astounding durability and ability to withstand extreme conditions reflect the resilient spirit of firefighters who bravely confront danger to protect others.

"My first impression of this smartphone is that it’s incredibly tough and reliable. The color instantly reminded me of our Wira Merah, it matches their uniform so well. It feels like a tribute to all the national heroes who stand on the front lines," said Ben. Even HONOR's brand name carries significant meaning. It echoes the values of bravery, sacrifice, and national pride, qualities that define firefighters and resonate deeply with the Malaysian spirit of resilience.

Adding to the patriotic atmosphere, the Junior Firefighter squad captivated the crowd with a ‘Fire Cry’ performance, showcasing the passion and spirit of the country’s young heroes.
