Recent leaks suggest that the Honor 500 series is expected to be officially released on November 24th. As Honor's final flagship of the year, the Honor 500 series not only carries the responsibility of consolidating its competitiveness in the 2000-3000 yuan price range but also demonstrates the brand's determination to continuously evolve into a high-performance imaging flagship. If released as scheduled on November 24th, this series will become one of the important options during the year-end upgrade cycle.
It is understood that the Honor 500 series will continue its "mid-screen flagship" positioning, offering two models: the standard Honor 500 will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen4 mobile platform, while the high-end Honor 500 Pro will feature the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Ultra mobile platform. Compared to the Dimensity and third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platforms used in the previous generation Honor 400 series, this full-line transition to the Snapdragon 8 series platform signifies a comprehensive leap in performance.
In addition to core performance, the Honor 500 series also features significant enhancements to its imaging system. All models will come standard with a 200MP main camera, with the Pro version adding a periscope telephoto lens supporting high-magnification optical zoom. The new phones will also feature a large-capacity battery, combined with a more energy-efficient next-generation processor, potentially extending battery life. Furthermore, high-end features such as wireless charging, IP68 dust and water resistance, and ultrasonic fingerprint recognition will be included, enhancing the overall user experience.
In terms of design, the Honor 500 series is expected to continue using an ultra-narrow bezel straight screen design, emphasizing a slim and lightweight feel and a highly recognizable appearance. The screen size will remain around 6.5 inches, balancing one-handed operation and visual immersion. At the system level, there will likely be synergistic improvements in AI scheduling, multitasking, and image algorithms.
