Leading global AI smart devices provider HONOR Philippines officially unveiled the new HONOR X8d, the latest addition to its acclaimed X Series lineup. Designed to deliver an optimal user experience, the HONOR X8d is priced at Php 15,999. The smartphone combines an ultra-slim design, a robust 7000mAh battery, and a powerful AI experience, reflecting HONOR’s commitment to providing well-rounded devices that cater to users seeking a sleek, intelligent, and durable mobile companion.
“The HONOR X8d is designed for today’s generation—where style is a statement and value matters. We’re proud to offer a smartphone that delivers both, making premium aesthetics and reliable performance more accessible than ever,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
Ultra-Slim Design with Class-Leading Battery Life
The HONOR X8d introduces a 7.5mm ultra-thin and lightweight design that balances a smooth feel with an elegant appearance. Using advanced excimer technology and micro-nano textures, the device features an extremely glossy and eye-catching body. The addition of an exquisite metal barrel enhances the overall design, adding a refined touch to the back cover.
Despite its slim profile, the HONOR X8d is powered by a large 7000mAh battery, delivering what is described as the biggest battery life in its price segment. It offers up to 52 hours of battery life as verified by TÜV Rheinland, along with up to 31 hours of video playback on a single charge. The device is engineered with multi-point temperature monitoring, enabling reliable performance in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 45°C. This ensures functionality even in demanding environments. The 45W wired HONOR SuperCharge further enhances usability by enabling rapid charging for extended use.
AI-Powered Features for Everyday Convenience
Equipped with an Instant AI Button, the HONOR X8d introduces a new level of AI interaction. This physical side button allows users to quickly access clean-up and speed-up functions, as well as frequently used applications with a single press. A long press activates additional AI-powered tools such as Circle-to-Search, AI Subtitles, AI Writing, and Blur Private Info.
Running on MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, the device offers a suite of intelligent features including Magic Capsule, Magic Portal, AI Memories, AI Settings Agent, and Google Gemini Assistant. These features are designed to enhance both productivity and everyday convenience, positioning the HONOR X8d as a versatile device for work and personal use.

The device also features IP65 water resistance, making it capable of handling various water-related conditions such as splashes, rinsing, and exposure to high-pressure water.
Testing confirms that the device can function after being submerged in water for up to one minute at a depth of 0.5 meters. Additionally, the Wet-Hand Touch Enhancement ensures smooth usability even when fingers are wet or greasy, further improving its reliability in different scenarios.
AI Camera and Advanced Photography Tools
The HONOR X8d is equipped with a 108MP Ultra-Clear AI Camera that captures images with exceptional detail and improved brightness. It supports both daylight precision and enhanced low-light photography. The 3x Lossless Zoom enables users to shoot across multiple focal lengths, allowing for more creative and versatile photography.
The device also introduces HONOR Connection, enabling seamless sharing of moving photos across different systems, including iOS. AI-powered editing tools such as AI Eraser, AI Upscale, AI Cutout, and AI Outpainting provide users with the ability to customize images directly on their smartphones, streamlining the editing process.
Enhanced Hardware and Display Performance
The HONOR X8d features a 6.77-inch OLED display that supports 1.07 billion colors, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak HDR brightness of 3000nits. This combination delivers vibrant visuals, smooth scrolling, and a sharp viewing experience.
