Honor 500 series leaked specs reveal major surprises and new features

The majority of the important features of the Honor 500 series have been made public by numerous leaks and rumors, but the most recent unofficial specs sheet provides additional insight into the future handsets. The startling details of the new-generation digital lineup are also hinted at.

The new document provides further information about the display panel, chipset, and battery metrics, even if we already know most of the specifications of the Honor 500 series.

First of all, it notes that the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip rather than the Gen 5 version may be installed in the Honor 500 Pro. Conversely, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC will be used in the regular model. The two chips’ core configurations are shown below.

• Snapdragon 8s Gen 4: 1 core x Cortex-X4 + 7 cores x Cortex-A720
• Snapdragon 8 Elite: 2 cores x Oryon (Phoenix L) + 6 cores x Oryon (Phoenix M)

Regarding the display, a 6.55-inch LTPO OLED flat screen with a resolution of 2736 x 1264 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz is anticipated for both Honor 500 versions. It might also enable high-frequency PWM dimming at 4320 Hz.

The Honor 500 vanilla model is probably going to have two cameras: a 200MP primary camera and a 50MP ultrawide-angle lens. Three imaging sensors—a 200MP primary, a 50MP ultrawide-angle, and a 64MP periscope lens—will be included in the Pro One.

An 8000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging may be compatible with both devices. The Pro model may have 50W wireless charging capability, which the regular Honor 500 may not have.

Dual speakers, infrared, NFC, IP68+IP69 dust and water resistant ratings, and the Android 16-based MagicOS 10.0 operating system are possible additional features of the Honor 500 series.

The Honor 500 series is expected to make its debut in December or before the end of current month. The debut date has not yet been disclosed by the corporation. However, we might soon get into specifics on this topic. Keep an eye out.
