HONOR Philippines is turning up the excitement as it gears up for the nationwide availability of its latest viral smartphone, the HONOR X9d 5G, with a celebration built especially for its growing community of fans. For the first time, the global AI smart devices brand is staging a dedicated Fan Fest, bringing music, prizes, and technology together in one high-energy event.
The inaugural HONOR X9d 5G Fan Fest is set for January 24, 2026 at the SM Megamall Fashion Hall, marking a milestone moment for the brand and its loyal supporters.
According to HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng, the event has been years in the making and arrives at a fitting moment, following the strong performance of the X-series in the highly competitive mid-range smartphone market.
“We have been planning this for years, and we are very happy that this has come to life at the perfect time—for the HONOR X9d 5G. With the success of this series over the past three years, we are pleased to share that we are in a strong position in the mid-range smartphone category. This is all because of our loyal HONOR fans, and this celebration is our way of showing appreciation to them,” Cheng said.
The Fan Fest doubles as a music-powered celebration, bringing together OPM icons and rising acts from different generations. Sponge Cola will headline the event, joined by HORI7ON, Fitterkarma, Shanne Dandan, Figvres, and Pommelo, promising a full day of live performances that match the energy surrounding the new device launch.
Beyond the entertainment, attendees will have chances to win premium prizes, including brand-new HONOR X9d 5G units, exclusive HONOR x Linya-Linya collaboration shirts, and limited-edition merchandise.
At the center of the celebration is the HONOR X9d 5G itself, positioned as one of the toughest smartphones to hit the market in 2026. The device carries the industry-first SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance Certification, highlighting its all-around resistance to drops, water, and dust.
It also retains the SGS 5-Star Comprehensive Reliability Certification, indicating durability against drops from heights of up to 2.5 meters. Reinforced by HONOR Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology, Non-Newtonian fluid, and ultra tough deep-tempered glass, the X9d 5G is engineered to withstand a wider range of impact scenarios, including rough stone surfaces and high-pressure force.
Priced at Php 17,999, the HONOR X9d 5G is currently available for pre-order until January 23, with buyers automatically entered for a chance to win a Tesla Cybertruck worth Php 17 million. Customers can pre-order at any HONOR Experience Store or Partner Store nationwide, or online through Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
Flexible payment options are also available through Home Credit, allowing customers to own the HONOR X9d 5G for as low as Php 24 per day with an additional Php 1,000 discount, payable for up to 18 months. This promo runs until February 15, 2026.
As the countdown to the Fan Fest continues, HONOR Philippines encourages fans to stay tuned for more announcements through its official website and social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, where exclusive teasers and launch updates will be revealed in the days leading up to the event.
