  • A Look Back on How HONOR X9 Series Became the No. 1 Mid-range Smartphone in PH

    A Look Back on How HONOR X9 Series Became the No. 1 Mid-range Smartphone in PH

    It has now become a tradition for HONOR to launch its biggest hit X9 series every January.

    Manila, Philippines, December 26, 2025 – Leading global AI smart devices provider HONOR Philippines has dominated the mid-range smartphone market with its iconic and biggest hit HONOR X9 series. Started with HONOR X9a 5G in 2023, HONOR has been dropping hits after hit, literally. At this point, the new year’s campaign of the viral phone series has already become a tradition.

    “When we launched HONOR X9a 5G, we literally had zero expectations. What we had was hope and confidence in our capabilities, and then it exceeded all expectations. We did not let the success get into our heads; we just thought it was beginner’s luck. So, we leveled up with HONOR X9b 5G, and again it became a massive hit. Then HONOR X9c 5G came and it was our biggest feat yet, outdoing everything we’ve done in 2023 and 2024,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

    The HONOR X9 series has been synonymous with its exceptional durability, raising the bar year after year.  What began with 5-foot drop tests evolved into a 50-foot intense drop test– and this year, HONOR X9c pushed to the extreme, dropped from a helicopter hundreds of feet above ground, further proving its unmatched toughness.

    “One can only think about how we can even top the past three generations of HONOR X9 series. We must admit, it has become a challenge at this point, but with the technology and talent we have at HONOR, it is indeed a good challenge. I’m very excited for everyone to witness what we have been planning for the past few months,” Cheng continued.

    That unforgettable moment—when 264 brave participants dropped their HONOR X9c 5G simultaneously—earned HONOR a coveted spot in the Guiness World Records for “The Most People Performing a Mobile Phone Drop Test Simultaneously.” This historic feat positioned HONOR Philippines as a benchmark in delivering credible, impactful messaging, reinforcing HONOR’s place as the standard for innovation, durability, and trust with the Filipino consumers.

    The question remains, is HONOR ready to follow the success of the past HONOR X9 series? Stay tuned.

    Road To Creation: A Collaboration Between DJI and Li Auto

    A workshop that talks about adventure fueling the immersive technology in every frame.

    DJI and Li Auto collaborated recently, a Day Tour Camping Workshop, held on December 13, 2025 at Camp Morri Farm, Antipolo, Rizal. The event highlighted Li Auto’s new L9 model and showcased DJI Power 2000 & DJI Osmo Action 6, impressing media attendees with its versatility and reliability. Despite unpredictable weather, participants enjoyed an exclusive hands-on workshop that combined learning, exploration, and innovation—demonstrating how camping can be reimagined with modern technology, offering greater freedom and flexibility in outdoor adventures.

    Li Auto: Built for Local Conditions, Designed for Exploration

    Designed to meet the demands of the Philippine landscape, modern camping setups combine durable, weather-resistant materials with smart, modular design. Built to handle tropical heat, humidity, and changing terrain, these setups support seamless transitions from city drives to off-grid destinations. Paired with intelligent mobility and reliable power solutions, they enable confident exploration—whether along coastal routes, mountain roads, or remote camping sites.

    DJI’s Power Station that Adapts in Camping Scene

    During the event, DJI showcased DJI Power 2000 as a key enabler of the camping and road-trip setup, demonstrating how portable power plays a critical role in modern outdoor experiences. Designed for use in varied Philippine conditions, the power station supported essential equipment throughout the day—from lighting and cooking tools to mobile devices—highlighting its reliability in off-grid environments.

    Integrated into the camping area alongside Li Auto vehicles, DJI Power 2000 illustrated how intelligent mobility and portable energy work together seamlessly. Its flexible power output allowed multiple devices to run simultaneously, enabling a comfortable and well-organized campsite that transitioned smoothly from daytime activities to evening use.

    By featuring DJI Power 2000 in a real-world outdoor setup, the event emphasized its practicality not only for camping, but also for extended road trips and emergency preparedness. The demonstration reinforced DJI’s commitment to delivering smart power solutions that support exploration, creativity, and everyday reliability.

    Action Camera: A Closer Look Through Media Designed for Movement in Outdoor

    As part of the workshop program, DJI hosted a dedicated Q&A session centered on the DJI Action 6, featuring Giancarlo Viterbo of Gadget Pilipinas as the guest speaker. The discussion provided media and participants with deeper insights into the action camera’s design philosophy, target users, and real-world applications—particularly for outdoor and on-the-move scenarios.

    Giancarlo shared practical perspectives on how the DJI Action 6 performs in everyday use, highlighting features that matter most during travel, adventure, and content creation. The session allowed attendees to better understand how the camera adapts to different shooting conditions, from fast-paced movement to extended outdoor activities.

    Through this interactive exchange, the workshop emphasized DJI’s focus on listening to the creator community and engaging directly with media voices. The Q&A format reinforced the DJI Action 6 as a tool built not only for performance, but also for practical storytelling—supporting creators in capturing authentic experiences with confidence.
