Honor X9d review: The drop-and-water-proof X-series, now with an 8,300 mAh cell.
Three-day battery, drop-proof glass.
X9d pushes the X-series' durability pitch further with an enormous 8,300 mAh silicon-carbon cell — three days of real use — plus IP68/IP69 and anti-drop glass, in a body still only 8 mm thick. The mid-tier chip and single useful camera are the trade. For battery and toughness per dollar, it is hard to beat.
