MANILA, Philippines – The HONOR X9c 5G is making waves as the toughest smartphone of 2025. HONOR Philippines recently revealed the durability secrets behind its flagship device, setting the bar high for rugged smartphones.
Boasting an All-Angle Triple Defense system, the HONOR X9c 5G doesn’t just resist drops; it’s also water and heat-resistant. According to HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng, this innovation elevates the HONOR X9c 5G beyond its predecessors, the X9a and X9b 5G.
What makes it ultra-tough?
The HONOR X9c 5G uses back-to-back Super Double Tempered Glass. This premium material is found on both its screen and camera module, offering 360-degree drop resistance up to two meters. The phone survived multiple tests on harsh surfaces like marble, cobblestone, and asphalt.
Under the hood, an under-screen shock-absorbing material reduces impact on the screen, while a 3-layer water-resistant structure ensures protection from liquid damage. This includes LIM rubber rings, USB rubber sleeves, and advanced software for waterproofing.
Filipinos can catch the HONOR X9c 5G’s grand launch on January 10 at 6 PM via Facebook Live. Don’t miss the chance to see why it’s hailed as the toughest smartphone of the year.
