HONOR has started open sales of the HONOR X9e Pro in the UAE, with the smartphone priced at AED 1,499. Initially available for pre-orders from October 22, the device can now be purchased through HONOR Experience Stores, the company's official website and retail partners.
While the price remains unchanged, HONOR has revised the promotional benefits for open-sale customers. The smartphone is the first Pro model in the company's X Series, with a focus on battery capacity, durability and AI-powered features.
During the pre-order period, customers received a HONOR Watch X5 Play worth AED 199 and 12 months of HONOR Care Damage Protection. The open-sale offer replaces the smartwatch with a HONOR Choice E6i worth AED 149 and reduces damage protection to six months.
Buyers can also get the HONOR Select Sound Lite4 Wireless Speaker for AED 69 after a AED 100 discount on its original price of AED 169.
The package includes a 24-month HONOR Care Battery Guarantee and warranty coverage across the GCC, India, Pakistan and Egypt. Existing HONOR X9 series owners are eligible for an additional 24-month HONOR Care warranty.
Every purchaser will also automatically enter a raffle to win one of four HONOR Robot Phones, with winners announced through weekly livestreams.
The smartphone's biggest highlight is its 11,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, which HONOR describes as the industry's largest smartphone battery. It has a rated capacity of 10,510mAh and supports 80W HONOR SuperCharge and 27W wired reverse charging.
HONOR claims the battery can deliver up to three days of use under a defined mixed-usage scenario. The company also highlights a six-year battery durability design.
The device features a 6.8-inch 1.5K display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits. It also supports a 1-nit ultra-dark mode and touch input with wet hands and gloves. For photography, there is a 108-megapixel primary camera with CIPA 6.0-level stabilisation using OIS and EIS.
