Following earlier leaks, new materials have revealed the actual design of the upcoming Honor 500 series.
The lineup has been featured in several leaks over the past few days, and we’ve seen it in sketches and blurry live images. Now, new leaks fresh from China show an official-looking poster and a live unit of the Honor 500. The material confirms that it indeed has a horizontal pill-shaped camera island on its back panel. It has two circular lens cutouts. According to rumors, the Pro model will feature three cutouts for its cameras.
According to earlier reports, the Pro model will house the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The phone is also said to feature a 6.5″ display, which will be complemented by a metal frame. Moreover, from the optical fingerprint scanner in the Honor 400 Pro, the new Pro model is said to be getting an ultrasonic sensor this time. The phone will also feature a massive 8000mAh battery, similar to its vanilla sibling, which is getting a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and a 6.55″ 1.5K 120Hz OLED. Ultimately, the Pro 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.
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.
