A tipster from China revealed the possible chip and battery details of the rumored Honor 500 model.
The brand is already preparing its next numbered series, as suggested by recent leaks. Now, a new one has emerged online, thanks to tipster Fixed Focus Digital. According to the tipster, the entire lineup will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 series chips, with the vanilla model featuring the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. It is also allegedly equipped with a battery capacity of around 8000mAh.
According to reports, the Honor 500 Pro model is rumored to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and is said to have the largest battery in its class. In the camera department, the phone is expected to feature a 200MP 1/1.4″ main camera, allegedly paired with a 64MP OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom.
According to DCS last month, the Honor 500 series would be “stronger” than the Honor 400 models. To recall, the Honor 400 is limited to an IP66 rating, while the Honor Pro has IP68 and IP69 ratings. This could mean that both the 500 and 500 Pro would soon offer the same high-protection ratings or higher.
Sadly, the series is allegedly coming with a price hike. As per Digital Chat Station, “imaging, performance, battery, and peripherals” have all been improved, and each section is “using top-tier components in its class.” To this end, the account noted that there may be a possible price increase in the series. To recall, the Honor 400 starts at CN¥2499 in China for its 12GB/256GB configuration, while the base 12GB/256GB option of the Pro costs CN¥3399.
