In case you haven't heard, HONOR's new midrange smartphone has been making waves in the community

The fresh smartphone from HONOR, the X9b 5G, has been generating headlines and garnering attention from enthusiasts and prospective owners all over Malaysia.

Even before its release, it surpassed over RM10 million in pre-order sales. To add to that, people were seen queueing up in front of the Sunway Pyramid HONOR Store outlet during the first day of its official sales.

Here's a closer look at what sets the HONOR X9b 5G apart:

For starters, the HONOR X9b 5G boasts 360° device toughness

The device is the world's first to receive the Five-Star Overall Drop Resistance certification from Switzerland's SGS. To put things into perspective, the X9b has an enhanced drop resistance from 1m to 1.5m, which covers every side of its Ultra-Tough OLED curved display.

Compared to its predecessor, the display's toughness has increased threefold, making this the brand's toughest smartphone to date. To back that claim up, fans who get their hands on the X9b will receive 365-Day Front & Back Crack Protection.

In terms of battery life, one full charge will last you an entire day, or more

Despite its sleek and slim profile at 185g and 7.98mm, the HONOR X9b 5G packs a mighty 5,800mAh battery, which means it has one of the largest battery capacity in its segment.

This ample power is sufficient to keep your phone running for up to three days with regular usage, ensuring you have power when you need it the most. You can enjoy up to 19 hours of video playback, 12 hours of gaming, or 22 hours of social media exploration on a single charge.

When it comes to performance, the HONOR X9b 5G has massive storage and a powerful chipset

Boasting a generous 12GB of RAM and 8GB of virtual HONOR RAM Turbo, the HONOR X9b 5G ensures smooth multitasking without a hint of lag. With 256GB of ROM storage, you'll never have to worry about deleting precious photos or files. 

Performance gets a boost from the internal 256GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage, a feature commonly found in flagship smartphones.

The phone also introduces the latest chipset technology via the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, making its debut in Malaysia, alongside the impressive Qualcomm Kryo CPU and Adreno GPU.

This power-packed combination accelerates the HONOR X9b 5G by 40%, delivering faster GPU performance and 35% increased CPU efficiency, resulting in a seamless and responsive user experience.

With a stunning 6.78-inch 1.5K Retina Resolution Display, the screen is an absolute treat for the eyes

The HONOR X9b 5G's display also features 10.7 billion colours, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1200nits peak brightness, making it one of the best displays among midrange smartphones.

Enhanced visual comfort is assured with eye protection features such as 1,920Hz PWM Dimming, Circadian Night Display, Dynamic Dimming, and TÜV Rheinland Hardware-Level Low Blue Light Certification for worry-free entertainment.

The HONOR X9b 5G also comes equipped with a 108MP ultra-clear camera, delivering crystal-clear shots

With a large 1/1.67-inch sensor and a generous f/1.75 aperture, this camera captures more light, resulting in vivid and clear images.

Featuring the Millisecond Capture technology, you can unleash your inner photographer for an incredibly smooth and precise photo capture experience.

Lastly, the device simply looks stunning in your palm

Inspired by the intricate craftsmanship found in luxury watches and jewellery, the HONOR X9b 5G features the iconic Classical Dual Ring Design.

The elegant Sunrise Orange colour back cover is made of a vegan leather finish, giving an extra touch of sophistication to the smartphone. It's also fingerprint-free, ideal for those who prefer using the smartphone without a casing.
