HONOR Previews X9e Pro; The Latest Entry Into Its Durable Line
HONOR has gone to odd lengths to “prove” that its phones are as durable as can be. Previously, with the Magic V6, the company made the foldable phone sit in between an airport buggy and a Ferrari F430, with the former towing the latter across a range of 30m.

HONOR has committed to showcasing the durability of its X9e Pro phone through unconventional methods. The company previously demonstrated the Magic V6's toughness by making it tow a Ferrari across a range of 30 meters. However, for the X9e Pro, HONOR invited media to shoot at the device with airsoft guns, a questionable test of durability.
Most of the phone's specifications remain undisclosed until its official launch, but HONOR has revealed some of its durability features. Among these, the standout is the phone's massive 11,000 mAh battery, capable of supporting reverse charging to multiple devices and providing long usage. Conventional durability tests include the phone surviving being used as a hammer and a nutcracker.
A new test involves the X9e Pro's ability to withstand 3-meter drops from any angle and its IP68 and IP69 ratings, allowing it to survive submersion in water up to 10 meters deep. The most notable demonstration involves placing the X9e Pro in a shooting range target and firing it with airsoft guns. However, the demonstration has its flaws.
Only 10 airsoft handgun shots and five bursts from various airsoft assault rifles are provided, and the targets are reused, with marks from previous shots obscuring the test's results.
