Following its appearance at Malaysia’s National Day Parade, HONOR has officially confirmed that the X9e Pro 5G will be coming to Malaysia. While the company has yet to reveal an exact local launch date, it has teased several “EXTREME” features, including EXTREME Massive Battery Capacity, EXTREME Armor-Tough Drop Resistance and EXTREME Ultra-Tough Water Resistance.
The emphasis on battery capacity has sparked speculation that the HONOR X9e Pro could feature a battery exceeding 10,000mAh, potentially following the approach seen on the HONOR X80 Pro Max.
A look at the HONOR X80 Pro Max
The HONOR X80 Pro Max was previously launched in China with an impressive 11,000mAh battery, alongside a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 256GB or 512GB of storage.
Despite packing such a large battery and a 6.8-inch display with a 1280 x 2788 resolution, the device remains relatively lightweight at just 203g and measures only 8.1mm thick.
This raises the question of whether the upcoming HONOR X9e Pro could share some of the X80 Pro Max’s hardware specifications. However, HONOR has yet to confirm the device’s battery capacity or other key specifications.
The X9e Pro teased for Malaysia appears in a purple finish, unlike the colour options offered for the HONOR X80 Pro Max. Nevertheless, its focus on extreme battery capacity and durability suggests that it could become one of the more battery-focused smartphones in its segment.
More details, including the Malaysian launch date, pricing and full specifications, are expected to be revealed by HONOR at a later date.
