HONOR Philippines has officially unveiled the HONOR X8d, the latest addition to its X Series lineup, bringing a mix of premium design, long battery life, and AI-powered features at a midrange price point.
Priced at Php15,999, the new device targets users looking for a balance of style and performance. As part of its launch promotion, customers who pre-order until March 27, 2026 will receive a free HONOR Camping Light Speakers bundle.
Slim Design Meets Large Battery Capacity
At first glance, the HONOR X8d stands out for its ultra-slim profile, measuring just 7.5mm thick. Despite its lightweight build, the device houses a 7,000mAh battery, positioning it among the highest-capacity batteries in its price segment.
According to HONOR, the smartphone can deliver up to 52 hours of usage, as verified by TÜV Rheinland, and up to 31 hours of video playback on a single charge. The battery is also designed to operate in extreme conditions, ranging from -20°C to 45°C, supported by multi-point temperature monitoring.
In addition, the device supports 45W wired HONOR SuperCharge, allowing users to quickly top up the battery for extended use.
AI Button Introduces Faster, Smarter Interactions
A key highlight of the HONOR X8d is its Instant AI Button, a dedicated physical control designed to streamline everyday tasks.
With a single press, users can launch optimization tools or frequently used apps. Meanwhile, a long press unlocks AI-powered features such as Circle to Search, AI Subtitles, AI Writing, and privacy-focused tools like Blur Private Info.
The device runs on MagicOS 10, based on Android 16, and includes additional features such as Magic Capsule, Magic Portal, AI Memories, and integration with Google Gemini, enhancing productivity and personalization.
Durable Build with Water Resistance
Despite its slim design, the HONOR X8d is engineered for durability.
The device carries SGS Premium Performance Certification for drop and crush resistance, with the ability to withstand drops from up to 2 meters. It also features IP65 water resistance, making it capable of handling splashes, rinsing, and exposure to water in everyday scenarios.
Additionally, HONOR includes Wet-Hand Touch Enhancement, allowing the screen to remain responsive even when fingers are wet or greasy.
108MP AI Camera and Advanced Editing Tools
For photography, the HONOR X8d has a 108MP Ultra-Clear AI Camera, designed to capture detailed images in both daylight and low-light conditions.
The camera system supports 3x lossless zoom, while AI-powered editing tools such as AI Eraser, AI Upscale, AI Cutout, and AI Outpainting enable users to refine photos directly on the device.
Furthermore, HONOR Connection allows seamless sharing of moving photos across devices, including compatibility with iOS systems.
OLED Display and Performance Hardware
On the front, the HONOR X8d features a 6.77-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3000 nits, ensuring clear visibility even under bright conditions.
The display also integrates multiple eye-care technologies, including 3840Hz PWM dimming, low blue light mode, and circadian display adjustments for more comfortable viewing.
Powering the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2, paired with HONOR’s RAM Turbo technology, which expands the effective memory to 16GB (8GB physical + 8GB virtual). Storage options go up to 512GB, providing ample space for apps, media, and files.
