As its launch nears, the HONOR X9c 5G continues to impress, and has emerged as an engineering marvel, setting new standards for smartphone durability in 2025. This device showcases remarkable advancements in design and materials, making it the toughest phone on the market.
The HONOR X9c 5G boasts an All-Angle Triple Defense system, elevating its resilience beyond mere drop resistance, offering comprehensive protection against drops, water, and heat.
Advanced Materials and Design
Super Double Tempered Glass
One key feature that contributes to the X9c 5G’s exceptional toughness is its back-to-back Super Double Tempered Glass. This high-quality material is used not only for the screen but also for the camera module, significantly enhancing the device’s drop and scratch resistance.
The phone has demonstrated its durability by surviving drops from heights of up to two meters on various surfaces, including marble, cobblestone, gravel, and asphalt.
Shock-Absorbing Technology
HONOR has implemented a technical principle-under-screen shock-absorbing material. This fills the gap between the screen and the middle frame with shock-absorbing materials, effectively reducing the impact of hard supporting objects on the screen.
Water-Resistant Structure
The X9c 5G incorporates a sophisticated 3-layer water-resistant structure:
- External leakage port protection using LIM (Liquid Injection Molding) rubber rings for side key ports, speaker holes, and card tray holes.
- Interface protection featuring a USB rubber sleeve with straight surface matching and double sealing ribs, along with improved card holder design.
- Board level and software protection, including BTB protection with added foam and waterproof detection.
Engineering Excellence
HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng emphasized the device’s exceptional qualities, stating, “HONOR X9c 5G has an All-Angle Triple Defense now. It is not just drop-resistant anymore where HONOR X9a and X9b 5G were known for. It is now water and heat-resistant that made this smartphone the toughest phone to hit the market yet”.
