Acting as powerbank and backup phone. Deadly combo for road warriors...

Now, powerbank supplier can close shop edy...

shop cs told me 3 years, I guess it's 2 major and security 😁

it can reverse charge at 7.5w, indeed is handy as secondary phone 🤳

wait for realme 10k mah become reality then power bank seller will suffer

I think power bank seller can consider change course to sell mag safe power bank for iPhone fans now

Hmm.. not the worst, could be better with the specs. I am considering buying it for older family members.

Thanks for the info!

Haha more than 8000 is my ultimate target battery size

Use to grab with 2 samsung flagship and then jump to X 9 series

No more looking back at the S ultra since then

Since i dont need the pad i buy from 10/10 onwards

I think so

I think different... Peak brightness also not same

the pad worth how much?

If wait 10.10 then at least have to wait the price below 1500- pad price only worth right

As i saw preorder end 9 oct, not sure after preorder still got tab

Went to Honor store and they said pre-order full booking no more free tablet but free Honor watch 2i. Reject it.

Then went home pre-order through Honor website pay RM9 booking fee still have free tablet. They provided a list of shops mostly sold out except a few. I chose one shop near my house to pick up on 10 Oct.

Haha nice

Nice. Which color?

Same color that you reviewed

Hehe.. Awesome 👏

does this phone supports esim?

about to buy x9b and saw many report of phone screen break despite the claim of toughness
any review on x9d real world break glass?

In Malaysia delivery for x9d would only start from 10 Oct next month. You cant get any x9d real world break glass at the moment.

But you can read some review of the real world usage of the China equivalent Honor X70 in xhs.

if x70 then no good

https://www.douyin.com/shipin/7540882477523634222

投诉淘宝天猫商家和荣耀手机，手机X70虚假宣传，购买之前宣传硬核手机所吸引，但没成，购买十几天就手机碎裂，购买前说送碎屏险，店铺要我找荣耀售后，荣耀售后认为是屏幕问题不属于三包政策，不予免费维修，商家赠送碎屏险只报销一半还要自己垫付，本身手机质量问题要消费者买单，官方宣传2.5米，任意角度多种路面跌落无忧，什么行业抗衰天花板，完全不符，。
https://tousu.sina.com.cn/complaint/view/17...0867f8d52b5a57&

Yeah now i have second thought of collecting my x9d

Nope.. Only dual physical Sim

Shit

X9D no stocks 1 Malaysia



Pulling the trigger 11/10/25



I hardly worry of dropping since the phone will always be on the car holder

Restock already guys 🤭🤭🤭
https://s.shopee.com.my/803hYaR9dF

The free Honor tablet promo no more already? Was just considering the X9D as spare phone due to the free tablet offer.

No more already.. That's why give free watch.. Which I think also not bad

And here i am the one rejecting any forms of free gift

I just buy the phone only

Pad and watch i totally dont need it at all

Last year i took the free buds which i totally need it haha

What is the android update OS support for the Honor phones like this one?

Usually it's 2 years major os update and 3 years security updates

Because recent bank require latest update and my phone already stuck at Android 11 so wanted to know Honor OS update promise. Looking for midrange with the most promise of OS update.

Just pre ordered.

15,000 coin cashback from shopee.

Missed out on the tablet but no matter. Been waiting for a midrange phone for a long time with oled, ip69 and decent battery to replace my 4 year old china rugged phone.

Once you taste above 8000 mah you will not look at Samsung and iPhone the same again

My current china rugged phone past 4 years has 13200mah.

8000 seems small to me....

User review from hardwarezone. Seems sg is cheaper than msia…

Maybe let me share some personal impressions using it for 2 days:
1. Phone is snappy for day to day usage. However, definitely can feel some random stutters, and app takes slightly longer to load.
2. Battery life is fantastic. If you drain it in 1 day, easily 12 hours of screen on time. Even with my usage, I have 66 percent left in tank, unplugged since yesterday 7am, with 4hrs 10mins of screen on time. 75 percent of the time I am on 5G network, 25 percent on WiFi.
3. Phone is light considering the phone packs a 8300mah battery
4. Display is gorgeous. I can't emphasize enough on the slim and even bezels. Makes it look like a premium phone. Colors are punchy and vibrant, brightness is definitely bright enough for outdoor usage.
5. Speakers are loud. Good for entertainment consumption
6. With the preorder promo, I feel it is a good deal. I am glad i sold the tablet away for $100 as someone just mentioned that it is laggy. So basically, I paid 284 for the phone? And that is with 2 years of warranty, and the 365 days front and back protection for accidental damage.
7. Haptics on the weaker side, don't feel tight, but not as crappy as the Nord CE5 one, and not as good as the CMF Phone 2 Pro.
8. Am still pleasantly surprised by the dual band GPS they included here and not doing cost cutting measures. Really useful for delivery drivers, drivers to use this phone. It packs a huge battery, good drop protection and dual band GPS!

Don't compare lah battery size, compare the thickness of the two phones itself enuff dee ...

Ok lah if you put it that way. But 19hrs SOT on my china rugged phone is hard to beat. That's really as close at 1 day battery....


They must be shipping out already. Can't wait. Shopee said courier pick was unsuccessful this morning , so I figure it will be shipped out tmrw.

I just buy the freaking phone at full price

Dont even want the tablet

This is easily the best 1500 i ever spent

My previous was GPU GTX 1070 for 1750 in 2016

Coming from s 20 ultra 5000mah this 8300mah is like 1.8 times the upgrade😄😆💥💥

X9D is equivalent to Honor 400 i believe.

Durability is X9d...
Camera is Honor 400

Glad that u like this phone. I am buying another gold color at RM1209 from Shopee for my dad

This phone battery is omg super longgggggggggg lasting... Hard to kill

Now i slowly dropping from 90% to 70% just for average use per day

No YouTube no Netflix and shit on working day



Maybe 60% is even possible for some full day productivity hahahaha

This post has been edited by skylinelover: Oct 12 2025, 10:53 AM

any free gift if walk in and buy?

Been testing the x9d over the past day.

Pretty decent for a midranger. Older CPU but i'm not complaining as I'm not using for gaming or opening many apps. Seems snappy enough for me...at least for now.


Still hard to find a midranger with good battery life, OLED and ip69k so this stands out from the crowd.

The screen is nice. under screen fingerprint is fast, although located a bit too low. Stereo speakers just ok for loudness and lacks clarity and definition, but I'm not expecting iphone lvls of quality there. Camera midpack performance but its better than what I had.
Just need to get used to Magic OS.

Would have been nice to have a TF slot. Makes it easier to transfer data and not hog up phone storage.

Price higher than some midrangers but you get more stuff with it. getting 150rm worth of coins on shopee for other things is just gravy on top.

A good buy in my books. for now.

Haha finally i bought one 4 myself after less than a year with X9C

After using it for a few days.. About the only issue is the thin bezels get a lot of unintended palm presses when holding the phone 1 handed. Palm rejection not very good. Probably needs a case with a lip over the screen.

Battery life is indeed quite good. Can spam YouTube and insta for almost a full day. My old china phone was better with the 13200mah battery but just. No doubt the newer x9d chipset is more efficient and the amoled helps

Haha cool

Really good value this fon has

Just now I tried it out at Honor shop, quite light with 8300mAh battery and the screen quite sharp for this price. I believe this is easily for (1) work phone, (2) navigation, and for (3) non IT savvy old folks.

Maybe it lasts another 3-5 years and then change to Honor x9g/h/i etc

bank apps will kill this phone one day

Do you mean because they want Android 17 or something? Or are bank apps doing something strange and this phone can't support?

newer Android version

Yes, true. I am considering buying iPhone due to this, just for moving all the stupid bank and e-wallet apps to it and not worry for the next 5-6 years.

It is hard to find good android phone with properly long software support.

anyone using x9d with perodua alza for wired android auto? x9c does not connect wired android auto on stock alza

it's hard because only Samsung is doing it for low & mid range phones.

The honor x9d look like very good sales , On shopee sold 4k++ unit

lets compare

boss, do you know how many Android updates for this Honor phone usually?

today got try out, looks good compared to Sammy A series.

Honor or others Chinese phone normally around 2 or 3 updates only...

Sammy one is up to 6 updates...

Haha yo

Dont need 2 much update

Once steady very steady one hahahaha

I going back grandfather years where 1 phone can last 8 - 9 years😂🤣😅😅

but ... but ... tiger bank MAE stupid wan.

Now my xiaomi cannot use MAE already, need to upgrade to newer Android.

so thinking whether should go for Sammy A series or this Honor x9d.

ya need for stupid banking app. my old xiaomi cannot use MAE already.

The good old days....

But nowadays kinda hard.... All need to use latest OS... Especially that banking apps.... Singapore or others countries don't need Android 13 to run....

Only in Malaysia...
Banking apps need to have latest OS to run the apps...

Your xiaomi phone is Android 9 huh??

Android 12. suddenly MAE cannot open in Oct.

Anyway ayem b40, that account also small sum, not urgent.

Weird....

MAE in October still can use Android 9...

Yours 12 no issues one....

Try to reinstall back the apps or clear cache....

maybe have to...gotta try.

Mine previously suddenly cant use. Cannot load. Then i call their service hotline, they say need go down to the bank. I go to the bank, the person see see, say my phone no network. I literally, uninstall, then install back in front of him, then he see see, take out his phone and say, his phone no problem, means my phone no data.

I gave up. Once in a while try. Once i waited 30 minutes and it manage to load. But every time i tab out of the app and go back, everything freeze. I think is just the app useless. I was using samsung s23 ultra btw.

OMG Mae can work on that phone what. I tried going to the branch and got no good result. App still stuck.

Easy

X9D

Just the battery factor alone

Haha alamak Dont think Android 13 will be incompatible so soon ba

This post has been edited by skylinelover: Today, 11:02 AM

Android 13 running phone can use at least another 2 or 3 years one...

Before those banking apps move towards Android 15 😁

the battery can last 2 - 2.5 days minimum as secondary phone.

Screen is big, bright and clear, not to LTPO and super AMOLED quality but good as a mid range.
