Real World Review HONOR X9c 5G- Setting New Standards with Next-Gen Anti-Drop Display
HONOR continues to lead the way in innovative technology with the release of the HONOR X9c, featuring the next generation of the HONOR Anti-drop Display. This impressive technology provides resistance to drops from heights of up to 2 meters, ensuring the device remains intact during accidental falls.
We took the phone out and tested it in real world conditions in and around Metro Manila to see how it actually performs. Aside from the already vaunted toughness of the phone we were really interested in the ultra-tempered glass and back resistance shield work together for comprehensive protection, and the unique bézier curve design that offers 3D protection around the corners, effectively guarding the device from impacts from any direction. Based from HONOR Philippines compared to its predecessor, the HONOR X9c showcases an impressive 166% enhancement in comprehensive reliability, making it an ideal companion for those prone to accidental drops.
Customized Protective Accessories
The HONOR X9c sets a new benchmark for device protection with a range of customized accessories. It features the industry’s first Cushioning Airbag Protective Case, utilizing a second-generation cushioning structure with micro-level gaps that allow the case to deform upon impact, effectively absorbing energy and reducing the risk of damage. Additionally, the HONOR X9c offers the industry’s first Fully Wrapped Curved Screen Protection Layer, providing complete coverage that shields every inch of the screen from scratches and impacts.
We have been putting the HONOR X 9 C in our backpacks and bags all through our testing there has no been any sign of scratches on the surface of the display screen.
360° Waterproof Protection Against Water Intrusion
Featuring an innovative three-layer waterproof structure, the HONOR X9c provides 360° protection against water exposure. The first layer has a specialized waterproof design for the outer ring, the second layer enhances sealing for the device’s sensitive internal parts, and the third layer offers robust coverage for core components. With an IP65M rating for water and dust resistance, the HONOR X9c can function even after being submerged in 25cm of water for up to 5 minutes. Additionally, the device supports wet hand touch control, allowing seamless interaction even with wet or greasy hands. These features ensure the HONOR X9c remains reliable in any adventure.
