HONOR X9a 5G finally lands in the Philippines

As promised, HONOR today makes a new phone official in the country as the phone maker launches the ‘ultra-tough’ HONOR X9a 5G in the Philippines with a price tag of PHP 16,990. The new phone has an indestructible material, a big battery, and robust cameras.

A new phone from HONOR.

The HONOR X9a 5G packs a 6.67-inch 45-degree curved AMOLED Full HD+ display with 0.65mm super-reinforced glass on top. It has 10-bit color support alongside a snappy 120hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate.

On the back, it has an astonishing back design that showcases the triple camera setup housed in a circular camera island — which consists of 64MP main, 5MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro sensors. In front is a 16MP selfie snapper.

Inside is the Snapdragon 695 processor that powers the device, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. The rest of the specs include a 5,100mAh battery with 40W fast charging tech, MagicUI 6.1, 5G connectivity, and more.

The HONOR X9a 5G is now open for pre-orders with a FREE HONOR Earbuds X3 Lite worth PHP 3,999.
