Honor X80 Pro Max

[crandfs]

How come nobody talking about this phone? Out for 2 months liao.

11000mAh battery life, SGS 5-Star Certification, IP68, IP69 and IP69K, so it's super rugged like X9D, 3840Hz pwm, peak brightness very high, but poorer camera and CPU. I regard it as an unofficial successor to Honor X9D, good for people who just want a phone that will last super long and withstand a lot of falls, usage in bed when dark, and only play light gaming, occasional camera, and average amount of multi-tasking.

International version also just out in Aug, called Honor Turbo 5G instead, but battery cut to 8000+, chip also older gen

SiC electrode battery, so it can retain 80% of battery capacity after ~5 yrs,
And best of all, the rugged design and the fact that its screen is not made by Samsung will reduce the chances of AMOLED bright lines problems. FYI if you dun know yet, Samsung is the ****ing culprit responsible for most of the green/white/pink bright lines in most phones with AMOLED screens for the past few years.

your title should change to Honor X9e Pro for Asia market while China market its called as Honor X80 Pro Max. Pretty soon, will be releasing this month at Malaysia. I do owned X9c, X9d. I can say its good become secondary phone.

I almost ordered x9d, heng i procrastinated for a day, long enough for me to find out about x80 pro max which cost cheaper instead.

But i don't think x80 pro max is supposed to be x9e, i think got some design convergence, but the ruggedness design is supposed to be different approach, and its global version is already available, called Turbo 5G

Ooops, just realized i typed the thread title wrongly, should be x80, not x60. How to change hah?

Anyway, Honor Malaysia keeps teasing with a purple colored phone that is probably x9e. You are right, x9e is probably the global equivalent of x80 pro max , just a locale variant for Asia probably, whereas Europe and USA probably get the crappy Turbo 5G. They'd better provide more than just purple if they want to sell better in Asia.

I do believe X9e Pro battery will be 11000mah and using Snapdragon 6 gen 5 not sure same like Singapore market.

Then it will be same as X80 Pro max. Wonder if there will be any concrete changes other than color and the ROM.

These few days Honor keep dropping teaser clips on social media but dun reveal the specs
