The HONOR X9e Pro officially arrived in Saudi Arabia on October 29, 2026, expanding the availability of a smartphone that had been announced in September and first launched in Malaysia in early October. The move, classified here as CONFIRMED for Saudi availability, is part of the model's expansion into new markets, with open sales also scheduled for October 30 in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
In Saudi Arabia, availability starts at SAR 1,799, in Deep Purple, Reddish Brown, Dawn Gold and Midnight Black. The launch bundle includes HONOR Choice X8i earbuds, a protective case, two years of accidental damage protection and battery capacity guarantees.
The 11,000 mAh battery is the headline feature
The X9e Pro's main selling point is its 11,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery (typical capacity; 10,510 mAh rated), with 80 W HONOR SuperCharge and 27 W wired reverse charging for other devices. According to HONOR's own tests, a single charge can last up to three days of typical use and deliver up to 66.8 hours of video playback — manufacturer lab figures, not independent test results.
Durability matches the battery: the phone withstands drops of up to 3 metres, according to HONOR, holds an SGS Premium Performance 5-star drop resistance certification, and carries IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for water and dust, including continuous immersion down to 10 metres and resistance to high-pressure hot water jets, with controls for underwater photography.
Specs and regional prices
The display is a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits, according to the manufacturer. The package includes a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB or 512 GB of storage, a 108 MP main camera with optical stabilization, a 5 MP ultrawide camera, a 16 MP front camera and MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.

In Egypt, the price is EGP 27,999, with pre-orders since October 22 and sales from October 30.
