KUALA LUMPUR – Putting smartphone endurance to the ultimate test, HONOR Malaysia has released a military-inspired test series featuring the HONOR X9e Pro across four demanding operational scenarios: jungle survival fieldcraft, precision shooting impact, a mud-soaked tactical obstacle course, and a timed underwater retrieval challenge.
Designed to evaluate hardware integrity under conditions far beyond typical consumer environments, the smartphone withstood direct impacts against boulders, deep mud exposure, high-pressure blows including cracking open a coconut and submersion up to 10 metres, emerging from all trials in complete working order.
The foundation of the device’s exceptional structural resilience lies in its Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology 4.0, which allows it to survive drops from heights of up to 3 metres while decreasing screen damage by up to 82%. This structural protection is reinforced by an SGS 5-Star Drop Resistance Certification for Harsh Conditions and full high-energy shear-resistant adhesive coverage, yielding 10 times greater bonding strength across the display panel. For liquid defense, the phone integrates IP68, IP69, and high-pressure IP69K ratings alongside a submarine-inspired multi-compartment architecture, providing absolute protection against everyday drops, spills, and inclement weather.
The HONOR X9e Pro launches in Malaysian stores on 9 October 2026, priced at RM1,899 for the 256GB variant (featuring 24GB total RAM via 8GB physical and 16GB HONOR Turbo RAM) and RM2,399 for the 512GB configuration. Early buyers will receive a promotional gift bundle worth RM1,326, which includes a free HONOR Watch 6i, 730 days of front and back screen replacement, 730 days of liquid protection, an extended one-year warranty, and an instant RM100 payment rebate.
