Honor is reportedly working on a couple of new phones for the Chinese market. While the company is gearing up to launch the Honor Magic 8 series by mid-October, it is also said to be prepping up the Honor GT 2 series and the Honor 500 lineup. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Smart Pikachu, has revealed the key details of what appears to be the Honor 500 Pro.
Honor 500 Pro display, chipset, camera details emerge
The leak suggests that the Honor 500 series will launch in China by the end of this year, likely in December. The lineup is expected to feature a 6.6-inch flat, widescreen display with large, rounded corners. In terms of photography, it will come equipped with an upgraded 200-megapixel main camera. The tipster also mentioned that the series will sport an iPhone-like design and texture, emphasising a premium and familiar feel.
To recall, the Honor 400 and 400 Pro, which debuted in China, featured a 6.55-inch OLED display and a 200-megapixel primary camera. These devices were powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively.
According to the new leak, the higher-end model in the upcoming series — likely the Honor 500 Pro — will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The tipster did not specify the processor for the standard Honor 500. However, considering that the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is still a relatively new chip, Honor may choose to retain it for the base model.
At present, there is no clarity about the global versions of the Honor 500 series. Just as the brand skipped Honor 300 series’ global release, it is likely that the Honor 500 lineup may remain confined to the Chinese market.
