Ultra-tough, all-night ready—the HONOR X9d 5G captured Boys Night Out’s final run without slowing down.
Leading AI smart devices brand HONOR Philippines joins the celebration—and final curtain call—of one of the country’s most influential and beloved radio programs, Boys Night Out.
Launched in 1999, Boys Night Out is among the longest-running radio shows in Philippine broadcasting history. Airing on Magic 89.9, the program has been anchored by original hosts Sam Y.G., Slick Rick, and Tony Toni, later joined by Tin Gamboa and Gino Quillamor. Over more than two decades, the show built a fiercely loyal following with its bold, humorous, and unapologetically candid conversations about relationships, dating, pop culture, and real-life experiences—reshaping the tone of modern radio discourse.
HONOR Philippines sees a natural alignment between the legacy of Boys Night Out and the brand’s own philosophy.
“Much like the ultra-tough men of Boys Night Out—defined by their charisma, resilience, and the ability to stay relevant over decades—HONOR is driven by the same vision,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines. “Our innovation goes beyond specs and trends. It’s about creating technology with real toughness and purpose, designed for people who want devices that keep up with real life, not just keep up with change.”
Boys Night Out vs. HONOR X9d 5G: Who’s Tougher?
To mark the show’s last hurrah, Boys Night Out teamed up with HONOR Philippines to answer one burning question: who’s tougher—the legendary radio hosts or the newly launched HONOR X9d 5G?
The iconic DJs put the HONOR X9d 5G through an extreme durability challenge, subjecting the device to a series of no-holds-barred tests. Facing off against Sam Y.G., Slick Rick, Tony Toni, Tin, and Gino, the smartphone stood its ground—proving its unmatched toughness and reliability.
“We thought we knew what tough meant—until we got our hands on the HONOR X9d 5G,” shared the Boys Night Out hosts. “We threw everything we had at it, and it kept standing strong. For a phone at this price point, the durability is seriously impressive.”
