Honor X9d launched with a massive 8300mAh Battery and extreme durability

September 25, 2025

Honor just dropped the X9d, and now, more than ever, they’re pushing the endurance game to crazy new levels. The battery, similarly, now hits a level unprecedented, which remained unfathomable just a couple of years back. Now, let’s jump into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Honor X9d, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Honor X9d Overview

Durability and Build

But before going on, its must be mentioned that this X9d is not a new invention at all. In fact its a rebrand of the China-exclusive Honor X70. But anyway, Honor’s really going all-out on the toughness angle. IP69K is the highest water resistance rating you can get, meaning it can handle high-pressure water jets. The 2.5-meter drop resistance is a step up from last year’s 2-meter rating. They’ve even added features like rainproof touch control and glove operation.

The cooling system uses a 5th-gen vapor chamber with 29,500 mm sq. of cooling surface. It can operate in temperatures from -30°C to 55°C, which covers pretty much any environment you’d realistically use a phone in.

Display and Design

Now, coming back to the body of the X9d itself, here you’re getting a 6.79-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate that adapts to what you’re doing. Peak brightness hits an excessive amount of 6000 nits with 3840Hz PWM dimming.

The phone weighs slightly heavier than the X9c at 193 grams, which could be because of that massive battery inside. Honor went with four colors: Reddish Brown, Midnight Black, Sunrise Gold, and Forest Green. The shock-absorbing frame uses what they call “ballistic-grade damping.”

Performance and Software

At its core is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, which is a decent jump from the 6 Gen 1 in last year’s X9c. This chip scores around 759,000 on AnTuTu 10, which puts it in solid mid-range territory. Realme claims over 810,000 on their 14 5G with the same chip, so performance should be consistent across devices. You’re getting MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15, which is about as current as it gets right now.

Camera System and Features

The camera setup is looks like this: a 108MP main sensor with OIS and a 5MP ultrawide. This is exactly same as last year’s, but Honor has thrown in some AI editing tools they call “Star Editor” that can remove reflections, erase objects, and upscale photos. The front camera is 16MP. They’ve also added an underwater photo mode, which makes sense given the IP69K rating.

Battery and Charging

Now let’s talk about the most interesting thing; its battery. The 8300mAh battery it comes with is massive even by 2025 standards. Most Chinese brands have moved to 7000mAh+ batteries this year, but Honor has pushed further. The silicon carbon technology should mean this battery lasts up to 6 years through 1000 charge cycles.

You also get a 66W wired charging here as well. The phone can also reverse charge other devices, turning it into a power bank.
