Recently, HONOR has been teasing videos of the HONOR X9b, showcasing its toughness

A sequel to the HONOR X9a, this smartphone is said to have an ultra-tough exterior, that is rumoured to be 'bulletproof'. 

Videos have even shown how the smartphone survived being smashed on multiple wooden planks by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion, Li Jingliang.

Shockingly, in another video, the HONOR X9b was shot with a paintball gun and showed no signs of defect. :O

The HONOR X9b has surpassed its predecessor by a significant margin, boasting three times the strength of the HONOR X9a

This got Malaysians questioning whether the smartphone is actually bulletproof.

In an interview, HONOR Malaysia CEO, Justin Li, said, "Currently, no phone is bulletproof, and consumers have no such demand for a smartphone."

He continued to mention that HONOR's goal has always been to solve consumers' pain points in their daily lives, which include owning smartphones with large and curved displays that were fragile and costly to repair.

With this in mind, HONOR created the HONOR X9b, which features the HONOR Ultra-Bounce Anti-drop Display that can absorb up to 1.2 times the impact of the fall. It also uses an inventive material that forms a shock-absorbing structure around the phone, woah! 

Built with premium quality, this impressive smartphone also offers resistance to drops of up to 1.5 meters and provides 360° protection to all six faces and four corners of the phone, even if dropped on a hard marble surface.

To further increase the confidence of consumers, the ultra-tough smartphone also comes with an exceptional warranty, providing front and back crack replacement for the first 365 days

The warranty covers both the front screen and the back panel of the phone, which also makes it the industry's first 365 Days Front and Back Crack Replacement warranty.

The HONOR X9b is also the first smartphone to receive a five-star all-angle drop resistance certification from Switzerland's renowned SGS, setting a remarkable milestone in the smartphone industry. If you didn't know, SGS is the world's leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company.

The HONOR X9b also comes with a couple of major upgrades, taking the durability of smartphones to a new level

The ultra-tough smartphone features a bright Sunrise Orange colour with a combination of premium leather back and sleek metal ring design.

And, for those worried about their phones not lasting the whole day, the HONOR X9b sports a 5,800mAh large battery, that allows the battery life to last for three days.

Besides that, the smartphone also has 20GB RAM and 256GB internal storage with UFS 3.1, which provides storage optimised for 5G devices.

Other noteworthy features are a high-brightness eye protection screen with 1.5k screen resolution, a 108MP ultra-clear camera, and a powerful Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 4nm processor.

If you're planning to switch phones and want to get your hands on the HONOR X9b, they've got a special early bird discount for you!

The ultra-tough 5G smartphone will officially launch in Malaysia on 1 November, and the early bird discounts start from 27 October on HONOR's official website and offline stores.

All you need to do is pay a deposit of RM9 to lock in advance premium free gifts, including the 365 Days Front and Back Crack Replacement and a chance to win cash rebates up to RM1,500.
