An HONORable Year: Take a Look at the HONOR Gadgets Launched this 2023

 

It is still not too late for presents! Here's a trip down memory lane for all the HONOR gadgets that were launched this year that can give you an idea for your well-deserved year-end gift! From budget phones to prestige gadgets, HONOR has the best deals that’s worth your money.

 

“The Holiday Season is not yet over, so we give you this list of HONOR gadgets released this year for your needs and most importantly, for any budget that you may have,” said Stephen Cheng, HONOR Philippines Vice President.

 

Elegance Meets Quality

 

Capturing memories can be disappointing when not shot right. This holiday season, HONOR Magic5 Pro is the best gift for memory hoarders. It ranked first in DXOMARK for the best camera smartphone when first released and was rated the best at Mobile World Congress 2023 for its triple rear camera quality which includes a shooter, ultrawide camera, and periscope telephoto camera, almost functioning like a compact DSLR. Alongside its inviolable 5100mAh battery quality, water and dust resistance technology, and huge storage memory, HONOR Magic5 Pro is the best gift to not miss ephemeral moments.

 

On the other hand, the crowd favorite HONOR 90 5G has a 200MP Flagship Camera, stylish and jewelry inspired design if you’re looking for a flagship-level smartphone without breaking the bank. An even more affordable option is the HONOR 90 Lite 5G with a very capable 100MP camera.

Your Deserved Value-for-Money

 

The HONOR X5 Plus, HONOR X6a, HONOR X7a, and HONOR X8a are budget phones that won’t let you down. HONOR X5 Plus is a steal at an affordable price with its MediaTek Helio G36 processor that has a capacity of 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. HONOR X6a also has a quad-camera setup at the back with the main shooter being a 50-megapixel wide lens while the selfie camera is a 5-megapixel shooter. Main difference would be the storage capacity between the two phones. HONOR X7a is a great value for its battery capacity that can last up to 3 days on a standby mode and also offers a great camera quality with its quad camera setup: 50-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Lastly, HONOR X8a is a great option for entry-level phone photography with its 100MP Camera.

 

Worth it Durability

 

The first-launched phone of HONOR in the Philippine market this year is still the apple of the eye for durability. HONOR X9a 5G is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of Internal storage.

 

Indulge in Productivity

 

For students, working adults, and even for grandparents who find joy in playing games in a wider screen, HONOR Pad X9 is the ideal choice. It has an 11.5 Inches display powered by Snapdragon® 685 4G Mobile Platform. Lastly, HONOR Magicbook X14 and HONOR Magicbook X15 with very capable Intel processors are known for its eye care technology, especially made for preventing eye strain due to longer hours of screen exposure.

 

Gifts Galore with HONOR

Exciting FREE Gift Boxes worth Php 2,499 also await fans of other HONOR smartphone units including HONOR Magic5 Pro for Php 59,990, HONOR 90 5G for Php 24,990, HONOR X9A 5G for Php 16,990, HONOR 90 Lite 5G for Php 12,990, and HONOR X7A for Php 7,990.

From fun events like the year-end party where they bond with fellow delivery partners, to our panda Patrol Hub assisting their concerns all year-round. It's about continuously supporting them and creating an inclusive environment where their voices are heard, their needs are met, and their hardwork is appreciated," Mariano assured.
