Honor Malaysia has begun preorders for its toughest and most durable mid-range smartphone. Starting today till 4th November 2024, preorder customers will only need to place a RM9 deposit to be eligible for a premium gift package worth RM1486, consisting of a 365-day Front and Back crack replacement, 180-day One-to-One Replacement policy, 36-month battery assurance, an Honor Choice Haylou Watch and instant RM99 rebate, which is a pretty attractive deal if you are on the look out for a new smartphone.
To make things even more exciting, 10 customers will stand a chance to walk away with a RM1500 cashback, while 300 customers will be given a HONOR Choice Robot Cleaner R2.
The Honor X9c boasts a reinforced chassis and build that gains it an IP65M rating against dust and water, it continues to feature an elegant design like its predecessor with some notable hardware upgrades, including a brighter 6.78-inch OLED screen that pushes 1.5K resolution at 120Hz and 4000 nits peak brightness, a large 6600mAh battery with support for 66W fast wired charging, dual-stereo speakers and upgraded 108MP camera with OIS.
Other than that, the phone is powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 paired to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB of storage, it ships with MagicOS 8.0 running on top of Android 14, bringing forth a suite of Honor Magic AI features such as Honor Magic Eraser, Honor Magic Portal and Honor Magic Ring for enhancing productivity and interconnectivity between Honor devices.
We expect the Honor X9c to have a similar retail price as its predecessor starting at RM1,499, while we won’t discount the fact that Honor might price it even lower considering the strong Malaysian Ringgit conversion against the US Dollar at this time of writing.
