| Unstoppable Icons: HONOR X9d 5G Joins the Legendary Farewell of ‘Boys Night Out’ |
Since its debut in 1999 on Magic 89.9, Boys Night Out has carved a unique space in pop culture. Led by the iconic trio of Sam Y.G., Slick Rick, and Tony Toni—and now joined by the vibrant Tin Gamboa and Gino Quillamor—the show became a household name for its candid, humorous, and often provocative takes on life, love, and everything in between.
A Legacy of Resilience and Connection
The partnership between HONOR and BNO is rooted in a shared identity: Toughness.
“Much like the legends of Boys Night Out, who have built a dedicated following over decades through sheer charisma and resilience, HONOR is driven by a similar philosophy," says Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines. "Our innovation isn't just about chasing trends; it’s about engineering purposeful technology that is 'ultra-tough'—designed to endure the rigors of real life and stay connected with the people who rely on it most.”

The Ultimate Durability Face-Off: BNO vs. HONOR X9d 5G
To put the brand’s "toughest smartphone" claim to the test, HONOR challenged the BNO crew to a series of extreme durability trials. The HONOR X9d 5G went head-to-head with Sam, Slick, Tony, Tin, and Gino in a no-holds-barred gauntlet designed to break a standard device.
The results left the radio veterans stunned. “We thought we knew what 'tough' looked like, but the HONOR X9d 5G is on another level,” the BNO hosts shared. “We gave it everything we had, and it didn’t just survive—it stayed flawless. For a phone in this price range, the resilience is genuinely groundbreaking.”
