HONOR to Launch the Sequel to the Runaway Success of the HONOR X9c

 

With over 13 million sold globally, the HONOR X9c proved was a clear success. Clearly building on this momentum, the HONOR X9d will arrive with the same unbreakable spirit, a bigger battery and smarter tools – built on what Mzansi asked for.

The local success of HONOR X9c was inevitable. It showed up as the voices of value-conscious South Africans grew louder. It launched in the country promising value and then did exactly that by delivering the “unbreakable” device that caught the attention of Mzansi. Is the soon to be launched HONOR X9d about to follow and amplify this blueprint to the hearts and minds of South Africa?

From a new name on the shelf to standing tall alongside the models that usually seize the mid-range device spotlight, the HONOR X9c was hard to ignore. The results prove this. The HONOR X9c helped drive 225% growth for the series and showed that listening to the needs and wants, and even demands, of South Africans really does make a difference.

For many local users, the HONOR X9c felt like a smartphone that finally matched real life: traffic in yellow lanes, school runs, shifts, side hustles, weekend hikes and unplanned late-night braais on every surface imaginable. Its mix of toughness, solid battery life and a serious camera made it feel less like a risk and more like a smart, long-term choice. Will the new HONOR X9d take notes from its predecessor and give us famous features such as:

• An “unbreakable AI smartphone” promise that was backed by real drop and water resistance.
• A powerful battery that could last the distance and detours
• A 108MP ultra clear camera that helped everyday users shoot like pro content creators
• Practical A.I touches that made the phone feel smarter without being complicated

The HONOR X9c proved that a mid-range device could work as hard as its owners do, instead of cutting corners where it counts. Innovation never stops at success though. It’s a guide to where every part of what worked well, can work even better. Will the HONOR showcase this philosophy of unwavering dedication to delivering more for Mzansi?
