Get ready to be blown away—Honor’s highly anticipated 500 and 500 Pro are finally making their debut on November 24, and the full specs have just leaked, leaving tech enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. But here’s where it gets controversial: while both devices share striking similarities, the Pro model introduces features that might just divide opinions among fans. Let’s dive into what’s under the hood.
The Honor 500 is rumored to pack a 6.55-inch LTPS flat OLED display with a crisp 1264×2736 resolution, dubbed ‘1.5K,’ alongside a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and advanced 3,840Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain. Photography lovers will appreciate the 200MP main camera with a large 1/1.4-inch sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP selfie camera. Powering this beast is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with a massive 8,000 mAh battery and lightning-fast 80W wired charging. And yes, it’s built to last with a metal frame, dual stereo speakers, and IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance.
And this is the part most people miss: The Honor 500 Pro takes things up a notch. While it shares the same display, battery, charging speed, and camera setup as its sibling, it adds a 50MP telephoto lens with Sony’s IMX856 sensor and 3x optical zoom—a game-changer for zoom enthusiasts. It also introduces 50W wireless charging and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for added convenience. Under the hood, it’s powered by the more robust Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. But here’s the question: Is the Pro’s telephoto lens and wireless charging worth the potential premium? Let us know in the comments—we’re curious to hear your take!
