HONOR, a global provider of smartphones and smart devices, started the year with a bang —by“bang,” I mean the sound of a phone hitting the ground after a massive fall and remaining intact. In 2023, HONOR ran over an X9a with a car. Last year, they dropped an HONOR X9b from a height of 100 feet using a drone. This year, they want to take on a new height (literally), dropping their latest model from a height of 500 feet (approx. 50 floors high).

Here are the technologies giving ultra-toughness to the X9c 5G model: Back-to-back Super Double Tempered Glass...
