What’s new
The Honor X9e s is a mid-range Honor phone that launched in the Middle East in October 2026. GSMArena and Gizmochina both say it is a rebadged Honor Turbo (Gizmochina calls it the Honor Turbo 5G), so it is not a new design. Gizmochina says the 8,560mAh battery is the main reason to look at it.
- GSMArena says the X9e s is a rebadged Honor Turbo, which came out in August. Gizmochina likewise calls it the Honor Turbo 5G under a different name.
- Gizmochina reports an 8,560mAh battery with 80W wired charging. Honor claims 3-day battery life but hasn’t said how long a full charge takes.
- Both outlets report a single 8GB/256GB configuration at SAR 1,499 (GSMArena gives about $400, Gizmochina about Rs 38,000). It comes in Dawn Orange, Midnight Black and Glacier White.
- Gizmochina says orders from Honor’s UAE store include free items worth 298 Saudi Riyal: a coffee cup, one year of accidental damage protection and one year of battery capacity guarantee service.
- Gizmochina notes the USB-C port runs only at USB 2.0 speeds, so large file transfers over a cable will be slow.
