#TechPH - The Phone That’s Been Turning Heads—Now Easier to Own Than Ever

Every now and then, a new gadget drops that somehow sneaks its way into conversations—whether it’s friends casually talking about upgrading, coworkers comparing specs, or that one tita who suddenly wants a “nice camera phone.” Lately, that little star of the show has been the HONOR X9d 5G.

I first heard about it back in January, when the buzz was all about how tough this phone is—like, “accidentally slips out of your hand while reaching for your bag” tough. The kind of tough that gives you the confidence to live your life normally without always stressing about dropping your phone on the sidewalk (we’ve all had that mini heart attack, right?).

What I didn’t expect was how quickly it would become one of the most sought‑after phones of early 2026. But here’s the best part: it just became way easier to get your hands on one.

Smart has rolled it into their Postpaid Device Plan 1999, and—no joke—you can walk out with the HONOR X9d 5G without paying anything upfront. Zero. Nada. Just the monthly plan, which already comes with 15GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts. Considering how much we rely on our phones every day, that’s not just convenient… it’s kind of a lifesaver.

And if you’re the type who wants more data for streaming, gaming, or doom‑scrolling at 2 AM (we don’t judge), there’s also the Smart Postpaid Plans+ 1499 option. This one does have a one‑time cash out, but you get 40GB of data and even 12 months of unlimited 5G in select areas. Oh—and a free Jisulife handheld fan, which is honestly such a Filipino‑summer‑friendly perk.

But let’s talk about what makes the HONOR X9d 5G such a scene‑stealer.

This thing is built like it’s training for an action movie. It carries the SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance Certification, which basically means it’s designed to withstand drops, dust, and the occasional “Did I just spill water on my phone?!” moment.

Photography lovers get a treat too. Its 108MP ultra‑sensing main camera captures sharp, rich details—even when you’re dealing with low light, moving pets, or unpredictable lighting in your favorite café. And the colors? Reddish Brown, Sunrise Gold, and Midnight Black. Each one looks like it belongs in a flat‑lay shoot.

If you’re planning to upgrade this year, this might be the sign you’ve been waiting for. Sometimes the best devices are the ones that blend seamlessly into your life—tough enough for the chaos, smart enough for the multitasking, and stylish enough to make you smile every time you pick it up.

So the next time you pass by a Smart Store, maybe step inside and try it out. You might just walk out thinking, “Well… that was easier than expected.”
