HONOR’s new tricks? A helicopter drop test, and temperature test for its new X9c 5G

MANILA, Philippines – For the third year in a row now, HONOR is starting the new year with phone stunts that are fairly impressive, fun, and also a little silly, with its midrange X9 phones.

It started with January 2023’s X9a, where a car ran over it, at the launch event, among other torture tests.

In 2024, they had a drone drop the phone from a hundred feet. And at that model’s launch event, they had participants throwing the phone from the second floor and onto the ground below.
