Honor X9d Set to Launch in Nepal Soon: Built Like a Tank with 8,300mAh Battery

Honor is back with its most durable and premium X-series phone yet, the Honor X9d. While the phone launched globally some time ago, it looks like Nepal is finally about to get a taste of one of the toughest mid-range smartphones around.

The brand has always gone over the top when it comes to making the X-series incredibly tough, and this year, they’ve pushed things even further.

What is the price of the Honor X9d in Nepal?

The Honor X9d price in Nepal could be Rs. 51,999 for the 12/256GB variant. The phone first launched globally back in late September, but it still hasn’t received an official launch date in Nepal.

The Honor X series has never been about top-tier specs; that’s simply not what it’s built for. These phones are designed to survive drops and to literally keep running for days without needing a charge.

This time, though, Honor has doubled down on that identity and pushed things further. The X9d doesn’t just improve on durability and endurance; it also brings some genuinely impressive upgrades in the performance department compared to previous generations.

Alright, enough yapping, let’s jump straight into the full overview.

Honor X9d Overview

At first glance, the Honor X9d seems to follow the same design language as its predecessor, especially with that circular camera module. But look closer, and the differences become obvious. The curves are gone, completely. The X9d now features a flat back, flat sides, and a flat display.

But the real highlight of the X9d isn’t the design, it’s the durability. Honor claims the phone can survive drops from up to 2.5 meters, meaning it should easily handle not just pocket drops but even accidental falls from higher surfaces.

On top of that, the ingress protection has been upgraded to IP66/68/69/69K, giving it superior resistance against dust, high-pressure water jets, and submersion. It’s also the first smartphone to earn the SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance Certification.

So yes, the phone is plenty durable. But what about endurance? Honor has that covered, too. The X9d comes with a massive 8,300mAh Si/C battery, which Honor claims can last up to 3 full days. With 5,000mAh+ batteries becoming the norm, Honor clearly went all-in to stand out here.

That said, charging remains respectable as well, sticking with the same 66W fast charging found on last year’s X9c.

Performance has usually been the weak link of the X-series, but things finally improved this year. Honor has equipped the X9d with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4. While it still can’t match the price-to-performance kings like the OnePlus Nord CE 5 or Infinix GT 30 Pro, it’s a much-needed upgrade over the X9c’s chipset.

As for memory options, the X9d comes in three variants: 8/256GB, 12/256GB, and 12/512GB. However, just like last year, Nepal will likely only get the 12/256GB variant.

And speaking of similarities, both the camera setup and display remain mostly unchanged. You get a 108MP main camera, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 16MP selfie shooter. There’s a 1.5K AMOLED display on the front, which is now brighter and goes up to 1800 nits in HBM mode.

Lastly, the phone ships with Android 15 running on top of MagicOS 9. With Android 16 already out for a while, it would’ve made more sense for Honor to ship the X9d with the latest version. Still, Android 15 is fresh enough to feel relevant, so it’s not a major drawback.

The X9d definitely has the looks, and it’s built like an absolute tank. It can shrug off accidental drops, and the battery is on a completely different level; no other phone in Nepal offers this kind of capacity at any price range.

Honestly, the phone practically encourages you not to baby it. Drop it? Don’t care. Forgot to charge it for days? Still don’t care. For users who value durability and insane endurance above everything else, the X9d is pretty much perfect.

However, for power users who want the best performance for their money, there are stronger alternatives like the OnePlus Nord CE 5 or the Infinix GT 30 Pro.
