HONOR X9C 5G proves its extreme durability through a series of rigorous tests. These tests simulate harsh real-life conditions, confirming the device’s resilience and suitability for everyday use.
Elegant Design with Titanium Purple
The Titanium Purple variant features a sleek look. The blend of titanium and purple adds a premium feel, enhanced by curved edges that emphasize sophistication. The round camera module with distinctive gear-like accents sets it apart from competitors. The back cover attracts attention from multiple angles, offering a futuristic design appeal.
Water Resistance Tested Under Pressure
The first challenge involved spraying high-pressure water onto the screen and sides. Despite the strong jet causing apps to twitch uncontrollably, the HONOR X9C 5G remained fully operational. Both front and rear cameras functioned perfectly after being drenched.
Surviving Extreme Heat
Next, the smartphone endured immersion in boiling water at around 90°C (194°F) for several repeated seconds. Remarkably, it sustained body temperatures of 50-60°C (122-140°F) while remaining fully functional. There was no observable damage or performance loss post-test.
Screen Durability Put to the Test
Using nails and a hammer, testers hammered four nails into wood with the phone’s screen as the striking surface. Despite these impacts, the curved display showed no scratches or cracks. The screen maintained flawless condition after repeated hits, demonstrating exceptional toughness.
Enduring Direct Drilling Pressure
A high-powered electric drill was applied directly on the phone’s active screen. Although the vibration caused noticeable shaking, the display withstood the pressure without shattering. Minor dirt marks appeared, but the device continued working perfectly, proving the strength of the screen’s material.
Drop Tests from 1.5 Meters
Two drop tests from 1.5 meters were conducted, first with the screen hitting the floor, then the back cover. Both drops resulted in no fractures or scratches on the curved screen or the rear panel. The phone’s robust build supports an IP65M rating and drop resistance up to 2 meters.
Summary of Extreme Tests
- High-pressure water spray: no functionality loss
- Boiling water immersion (90°C): device remains intact
- Hammer and nails on screen: no scratches or cracks
- Drilling on screen: display endures pressure, operational afterward
- Drop tests at 1.5 meters: no physical damage
The HONOR X9C 5G’s impressive results from these harsh trials confirm its reliability. Users seeking a smartphone built for extreme environments will find this model ready to withstand daily challenges. Its durable design and superb build quality position it well among premium rugged smartphones in the market.
