Late November is turning into a packed launch season. Huawei has already locked in a Mate-series event, OnePlus is expected to follow soon, and now Honor is joining the rush.
The company has officially confirmed that its new Honor 500 series will debut in China on November 24th at 19:30 local time.
Honor says the lineup will include two models: the Honor 500 and Honor 500 Pro. The company has already revealed its basic design, which is an iPhone Air-style horizontal camera module paired with a flat back panel.
And while Honor hasn’t announced full specs yet, earlier reports have given us a good idea of what to expect.
Honor 500 Pro
The Pro model is expected to feature a 6.55-inch display with a 2736×1264 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Inside, the Honor 500 Pro is rumored to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, Qualcomm’s top-tier processor. It could be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and a huge 1TB of storage, though the base model will likely start at 12GB/256GB.
Keeping everything powered is a massive 8000mAh silicon battery, combined with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both phones are expected to ship with MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.
Honor is also aiming high with its camera hardware. The Pro may house a 200MP main sensor, though one well-known leaker, DCS, claims that early prototype image quality might not fully translate to production models due to “limitations in image processing.”
The phone is also tipped to include a 64MP periscope camera, an ultra-wide shooter, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and Honor’s own C1+ RF chip for better signal performance.
Honor 500
The regular Honor 500 will also feature a 6.55-inch OLED display, 1.5K resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate (via DCS). Both models are expected to come with a 50MP front camera.
On the back, the Honor 500 could ship with a 200MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. It’s rumored to run on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a toned-down version of Qualcomm’s flagship processor, but still plenty capable.
Like the Pro, the standard model may also get an 8000mAh battery, this time with 80W charging, though wireless charging could remain exclusive to the Pro. Other specs include dual stereo speakers, an E2 energy efficiency chip, and IP68/IP69/IP69K chip.
