Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop 360-degree Drop Resistance display: What is it
The Honor X9b will come equipped with the company’s Ultra-Bounce Anti-drop display. A shock-absorbing structure around the phone will provide resistance to drops up to 1.5 metres.
The phone guarantees 360-degree protection to all six faces and four corners, even on hard surfaces like marble. Its three-layer protective structure incorporates partial reinforcement, surrounding buffer and sealing protection. The design also utilises a low-modulus cushioning material with micron-level gaps, absorbing impacts up to 1.2 times.
