A Look Back on How HONOR X9 Series Became the No. 1 Mid-range Smartphone in PH

From viral drop tests to record-breaking stunts, the HONOR X9 Series has become a household name for Filipinos looking for a tough yet stylish mid-range smartphone. What started with the HONOR X9a 5G in 2023 quickly turned into a yearly tradition, with each new release raising the bar in durability, performance and consumer trust.

With the HONOR X9b 5G and the record-setting HONOR X9c 5G, HONOR proved that innovation does not have to come at a premium price. From extreme durability tests to a Guinness World Records milestone, the X9 Series has reshaped expectations in the mid-range market. The big question now is simple. How will HONOR top its own success story next?

Here’s a rundown of HONOR’s hot-selling phones this 2023

Philippines’ leading smart devices provider, HONOR, has had a very busy year with its back-to-back launches of their powerful devices in the country! From entry-level to flagship smartphones, HONOR certainly fulfilled its vision to GO BEYOND this 2023.

“We are still overwhelmed with the tremendous support HONOR has gotten over the past year, and it’s reflected through our sales and overall improved visibility over the country – from the continuous virality of HONOR X9a 5G by the month, to the skyrocketing sales of HONOR 90 5G which sold out in record time upon its release. This makes us even more excited for what’s to come next year for HONOR Philippines,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines. 

With the brand’s back-to-back product launches in 2023, here’s a brief rundown of some of the powerful devices from HONOR Philippines this year.

HONOR X9A 5G: A SMASH HIT 

HONOR started this year with a bang with the release of HONOR X9a 5G last January. This catapulted the brand into virality, with its industry-leading ultra-tough OLED curved display that was put to test through various means, including smash and drop challenges. It also packs a Matrix Star Ring Camera System housing a triple rear camera setup and a 5100 mAh powerhouse battery while maintaining its premium-looking sleek design – all for an affordable price of Php 16,990! You may get yours either in Titanium Silver or Emerald Green. Php 24,990. Score the HONOR X9A 5G now on Shopee | Lazada

 

HONOR 90 5G: FLAGSHIP-LEVEL SPECS, MIDRANGE PRICE

Impressive cannot begin to describe this phone, with its wide array of specs from its camera to its screen, as well as overall performance. To start, not all smartphones in the midrange category can carry a 200 Megapixel rear camera and 50 Megapixel front camera system without compromising its other features, but HONOR 90 5G managed to deliver. Beyond its camera performance, HONOR 90 5G also has one of the most advanced high-frequency Pulse Width Modulation dimming technology at 3840 Hz, which greatly helps with lessening eye strains with long periods of phone usage. Available in three colors – Diamond Silver, Emerald Green, and Midnight Black, HONOR 90 5G is priced at Php 24,990. Get the HONOR 90 5G now on Shopee | Lazada

 

HONOR 90 LITE 5G: LITE PRICE, HIGH-LEVEL PERFORMANCE 

The great reception of the Philippine tech market to HONOR 90 5G prompted the brand to release its budget-friendlier sibling, the HONOR 90 Lite 5G. While it’s noticeably on the slimmer and lighter side of HONOR’s lineup of smartphones, this newest iteration still packs a wide array of specs that other competitors unusually carry within the same price range. Apart from its 100 MP Camera system, which allows for ultra clear photography, this phone packs 8GB + 256GB Super Storage, an eye-protection technology, and a 4500 mAh battery that can last for up to two days.
