Tech Expert Art Samaniego Lines Up Early, 90th out of 400 to Pre-Order HONOR 400 5G in SM City Sta. Rosa

Leading smart devices provider HONOR Philippines just introduced its most successful product to date, the HONOR 400 5G. With its jampacked first day sale, viral videos, new brand ambassadors, and a Rolex and Hermes giveaway - the question remains, was all of it just a gimmick?

IT Head of Manila Bulletin and Co-founder of ScamWatch Pilipinas Mr. Art Samaniego shared his entire journey to getting his hands on HONOR’s newest viral smartphone. 

“I saw it from the media launches and media activities, and when I saw the phone,

nakita kong maganda talaga siya. I said, I need to try this one in real life kaya um-order ako. Gusto kong bumili ako kasi naniniwala ako sa telepono nung nasubukan ko sya. So, it’s a really great device for the price. I pre-ordered on June 18 in SM Sta. Rosa,” said Mr. Samaniego. 

When asked about his experience during the jampacked first day sale on June 28, “I went to SM Sta. Rosa around 10 or 10:30AM so, kaka-open lang. I told my wife, kasi meron pa kaming pupuntahan after,'mabilis lang to, give me 30 minutes’. Pag dating namin sa HONOR store,'nakita ko, punong-puno na ng tao. Meron ng bollards. I was surprised bakit ang dami na, then I counted the people there. Siguro mga 80 yung nabilang ko that time and kinunan ko ng picture Maya-maya, dumadami na yung mga tao that they need to remove the barrier that they put,” he started. “Someone helped me and said, ‘Sir, kailangan mo kumuha ng number. Pang-90 na ko, kasi mayroong mga nakapila na ng mas maaga pa,” he shared his surprise as that was only 30 minutes upon mall opening. 

"One thing is for sure; it’s not a gimmick. We, at HONOR, are also shocked with the massive turnout of HONOR 400 5G first day sale. We are overwhelmed and we are very grateful for everyone who supported us all the way from the teasers. We are committed to bringing only the best for our Filipino HONOR fans so expect nothing less form us,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

HONOR and PHINMA Foundation Empower Future Educators with Tablet Donation

HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng, with the PHINMA Foundation’s Executive Director Ron Reyes alongside with the 25 HONOR Pad X9a beneficiaries from different schools.  
 

 

Global technology brand HONOR Philippines, in partnership with the PHINMA Foundation, launched its CSR initiative “Pad Your Way to the Future” through the formal donation of 25 HONOR Pad X9a tablets to deserving student scholars. The event was held at the Philippine Normal University – Manila, reaffirming the shared commitment of both organizations to transform lives through education and technology.  

 

 

“This partnership with the PHINMA Foundation is more than just a formal agreement—it’s a heartfelt commitment to shaping a better future through education. We believe in the power of technology to transform lives, especially when placed in the hands of passionate learners and educators. Through this collaboration, we hope to open new doors—doors to learning, to growth, and to greater opportunities.” Said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines.

 

 

 

Students overjoyed as they received their HONOR Pad X9a 

 

As part of the event, 25 students supported by PHINMA Foundation through its scholarship programs received their own HONOR Pad X9a tablets, each tailored for modern academic needs with its AI-powered learning features, expansive display, and durable performance.  

 

Ron Ranier Reyes, Executive Director of PHINMA Foundation, highlighted the impact of the tablets on the scholars' learning experience in his message.  

 

 

 

“Many of our scholars face daily struggles—not just academically, but even in accessing the tools they need to learn. Some borrow phones or wait for their turn at public computers. This donation from HONOR could not have come at a better time. With these tablets, students will now have access to digital tools that will enhance their education, their connectivity, and ultimately, their future.” Reyes said. 

 

Among the beneficiaries was Josua Romero, a student from Philippine Normal University, who gave a moving speech that captured the emotional weight of the initiative: 

 

 

“I am truly beyond grateful, lalo na po ngayon na kailangan ko ng bagong device para sa aking pag-aaral,” shared Romero. “My old laptop was already failing me. Tasks took longer, deadlines were harder to meet. This tablet isn’t just a device—it’s hope. Hope that I can study more effectively, stay organized, and access new opportunities that were once out of reach.”  

 

He went on to define what HONOR means to him: 

 

H – Help in Learning: “It will make my learning easier and more dynamic.” 

O – Organization of Tasks: “Now I can manage my schedules and assignments more efficiently.” 

N – New Opportunities: “This device will allow me to connect, explore, and collaborate.” 

O – On-the-Go Studying: “Learning can happen anytime, anywhere.” 

R – Resource for Growth: “It’s a valuable companion in my academic and personal journey.” 

 

“This tablet will be my study companion,” Romero concluded. “To those who made this possible—thank you for believing in us and giving us the means to pursue our dreams. This is more than just a gadget—it’s a bridge to a better future.”  

 

The event also included a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing between HONOR Philippines and PHINMA Foundation, cementing the long-term partnership for future educational initiatives. As part of the program, HONOR also hosted an interactive product presentation of the Pad X9a, student activities, and a networking lunch.  

 

The HONOR Pad X9a features an immersive display, long-lasting battery life, and enhanced AI capabilities designed to support today’s tech-savvy learners. With this CSR effort, HONOR continues to expand its mission of empowering students and ensuring “no learner is left behind.”
