Honor X9e Pro to launch with five industry-first features, including 11,000mAh battery

KUALA LUMPUR: Honor has unveiled the X9e Pro, a mid-range smartphone that introduces five industry-leading features, the most notable being its 11,000mAh battery. This capacity is claimed to be the largest in the industry, offering extended usage without frequent recharging. The phone is set to launch on September 24.

The X9e Pro boasts an 11,000mAh battery that can provide up to 66.8 hours of video playback, 164.5 hours of music playback, and 35.6 hours of short-video browsing on a single charge, according to laboratory tests. The device supports 80W wired charging and 27W reverse wired charging, enabling users to charge other devices like earbuds or phones. The battery operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C and is designed for six years of durability.

In addition to long-lasting battery life, the X9e Pro prioritizes durability. Its frame utilizes a crash-beam principle, similar to those used in race cars, with full-surface adhesive bonding between the screen and frame. The device has been tested across multiple surfaces and under various conditions, and it has earned the SGS Premium Performance Certification of Drop & Crush Resistance.

The X9e Pro also offers water resistance with IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications, allowing it to withstand water up to 10 meters deep for 100,000 entry cycles. The phone has passed a 24-hour continuous salt-spray test, indicating its ability to withstand corrosive environments. Its waterproofing design is inspired by submarines, featuring layers of protection and compartmentalized sealing. Precision drainage channels are used to extract moisture from exposed components, such as the speaker.

For outdoor use, the X9e Pro features a display with a peak brightness of 10,000 nits, a 67% increase from the previous generation. This brightness is achieved through a second-generation deuterium high-efficiency luminescent material, which enhances light-emitting efficiency while maintaining screen stability and reducing the risk of burn-in. The improved brightness helps maintain visibility in bright outdoor conditions.

The X9e Pro is part of Honor's X series, which has been Malaysia's best-selling mid-range smartphone for four consecutive generations. The series has held the top position in the market for 37 consecutive months and reached 77% market share in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a global user base of over 130 million. The X9e Pro represents the company's commitment to delivering enhanced battery capacity, durability, water resistance, and display technology in a mid-range smartphone.
