Here are five reasons why the HONOR X9d 5G might just be your new best-friend smartphone:

1. Ultra-Durable Rugged Build

HONOR brands the X9d as the “world’s toughest phone,” and it lives up to the name. The all-new Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop design uses multilayer tempered glass and 6 cushioning layers to absorb shock. In lab tests it survived 2.5 m drops onto hard surfaces. The phone is IP69K-rated, meaning it can handle high-pressure water jets and submersion (as well as usual dust and sand). In real-world demos, the X9d shrugged off spills, rain and even being run over by a Cybertruck. (For the full spectacle, watch our durability test video and the Tesla Cybertruck drive-over video for proof!) In short, if you’re prone to dropping gadgets or using your phone in extreme environments (construction sites, trails, beaches, etc.), the X9d can take it.

2. Built-In Power Bank (Massive Battery)

The X9d’s huge 8300 mAh battery (more than twice most phones) lets it reverse-charge other devices on the go. In our test it fully charged an iPhone while still retaining extra juice.

HONOR’s focus on durability didn’t mean skimping on core specs. The X9d has 8300 mAh battery life (enough for ~72 hours of normal use) and supports 66 W wired charging for quick top-ups. One of the coolest things about the HONOR X9d 5G? It can literally act as a power bank. Yes, that means you can charge another phone using it. In our own test, it filled an iPhone’s battery to 100% and still had a few percent left. So on a long hike or day out, you can lend power to a friend’s phone without carrying a separate power bank.

3. Rainproof & Glove-Friendly Touch

Since it’s IP69K-rated, the X9d can handle rain, puddles or splashes without complaint. The screen still works even during heavy rains, and yes! You can use it while wearing gloves. Super useful for hikers, trail runners, cyclists, delivery riders, or anyone who’s always outdoors. Your screen won’t freeze up in the rain or when wearing protective gloves, unlike ordinary phones. (And if water does infiltrate the speaker, read on to see how the X9d clears it out.)

4. One-Tap Drainage & Dust Removal

Even with all that water-resistance, HONOR went a step further. The X9d offers a one-tap dust/water eject feature. If moisture or debris ever gets into the speakers, simply activate the Drainage function and the phone uses sonic vibration to expel it. This cleans out water and fine dust in about 30 seconds, protecting the speaker and keeping sound clear. Basically, if you get caught in the rain? Or end up somewhere dusty? No stress! You can clean it out with a tap, no need to open or fix anything.

5. A Display You Can Actually Rely On Outdoors

The HONOR X9d 5G features a large 6.79-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and ultra-high peak brightness, making it highly usable even under direct sunlight. Whether you’re checking maps while hiking, tracking a run, replying to messages during a commute, or scrolling outdoors, the screen remains clear and responsive. HONOR also built in eye-comfort technologies to reduce strain during long usage, which matters if this is a phone you’re constantly on. Simply put, it’s a screen that works when and where you need it. No squinting, no frustration.
