Last year, Honor introduced the Honor X9b, a mid-range smartphone that boasts several features to protect against drops. One of its standout features is the “Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Display,” which uses shock-absorbing materials. Honor claims this technology allows the device to withstand drops from heights of up to 1.5 meters, enhancing its durability and providing users with peace of mind. Now, the company is teasing a new “Toughest Honor Smartphone”. It might be the X9b’s successor, likely the Honor X9c.
