First Performance Test Reveals Powerful Specs of the HONOR 500
If you’re looking for a flagship-level smartphone at a competitive price, the upcoming HONOR 500 series might be the perfect choice. Early leaks suggest a stylish design, a large display, and a powerful camera setup, with the official launch expected before the end of 2025.
HONOR is preparing to introduce its brand-new HONOR 500 series, which will debut first in China before expanding to global and Middle Eastern markets. Based on the latest leaks and benchmark reports, here’s what we currently know:
Expected Specifications
The HONOR 500 is rumored to feature a 6.5-inch mid-sized display with a metal frame and an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor for secure authentication.
The HONOR 500 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and equipped with a 200-MP triple-camera setup, including a periscope telephoto lens for enhanced zoom capabilities.
Both models are likely to share a similar design, with the Pro version distinguished by the additional camera module. Battery capacity is reported to reach around 8000 mAh, offering impressive endurance, while both phones should support 100 W ultra-fast charging.
Other expected specs include 1.5K resolution, 5G connectivity, and Android-based MagicOS 9 for smooth multitasking.

Possible Drawbacks

Battery capacity varies across leaks (between 7000 mAh and 8000 mAh).
