Everything You Should Know About the New HONOR 500 Series Smartphones

Today, the global AI device ecosystem firm HONOR announced the release of the brand-new HONOR 500 Series, which includes the HONOR 500 Pro and HONOR 500. With flagship-class portrait imaging, all-scenario live capture capabilities, increased endurance, and an improved MagicOS 10 experience tailored for the upcoming generation of youthful, always active creators, the HONOR 500 Series redefines the mid-range segment.

“With the HONOR 500 Series, we are redefining what consumers should expect from a standard, mid-range smartphone. The HONOR 500 is ‘standard’ done right, delivering a complete, well-rounded user experience that is engineered to impress. The HONOR 500 Pro goes a step beyond, building upon the solid foundation to improve upon every facet of the experience, just like what a ‘Pro’ model is expected to do,” said Fei Fang, President of Products at HONOR. 

200MP Portrait Engine: All-Scenario Live Photo

The new 200MP AI Ultra-Clear Main Camera, which has a category-leading 1/1.4-inch CMOS sensor, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera are features of both HONOR 500 Series devices. Additionally, the HONOR 500 Pro has a 50MP telephoto camera that supports HONOR's in-house SOIS stabilization system, providing flagship-level CIPA5.0 image stabilization performance to guarantee that images stay clear and steady even while taking handheld or fast-paced shots.

With industry-first front-and-rear Live portrait modes that enhance each frame with background blur, beauty effects, and atmosphere, the HONOR 500 Series offers a complete live imaging experience. Additionally, it offers six different Film Live modes for customers to select from, providing an industry-leading selection of immersive color selections inspired by movies. Furthermore, you are always the center of attention thanks to the cutting-edge Live Passerby Removal feature, which guarantees that exciting moments are free from interruptions. Additionally, the series facilitates simple 4K-to-Live conversion, allowing users to convert 4K videos into 4K Live clips for easy social media sharing.

Snapdragon Flagship Power: Smooth, Fast, and Reliable Performance

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powers the HONOR 500, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite powers the HONOR 500 Pro. Both versions offer flagship-level speed and responsiveness. The HONOR 500 Series offers remarkably stable gaming performance, with consistent frame rates in well-known games like Honor of Kings and Genshin Impact, when paired with the HONOR Phantom Engine 3.0, which precisely predicts graphical workloads and optimizes rendering processes.

8,000mAh Battery: Two-Day Endurance in a Slim 6.55-inch Body

The class-leading 8,000mAh HONOR Silicon-carbon Battery, which has an amazing energy density, is a feature of the HONOR 500 Series. Additionally, 27W Wired Reverse Charging is supported by the HONOR 500 Pro and HONOR 500, offering a practical means of powering accessories and other
gadgets on the move. While the Pro model offers both 80W wired and 50W wireless charging for simple, quick battery top-up, the basic model also supports 80W wired charging.

Flagship-Level Experience: Display, Connectivity, and MagicOS 10 Intelligence

In terms of eye-protecting display technology, HONOR is still at the forefront of the industry. Numerous eye protection features are supported by the HONOR 500 Series, which helps reduce discomfort caused by brightness, flicker, fluctuations in natural light, and more. To improve the viewing experience in daily use, it also includes features like AI Defocus Display and AI Motion Sickness Relief.

The self-developed HONOR C1+ RF Enhanced Chip, which greatly enhances signal reception, network stability, and uplink speed, is another feature of the HONOR 500 Pro. This ensures smoother streaming and faster uploads in high-traffic and signal-weak locations.

The brand-new MagicOS 10 operating system, which has the only tiered AI Button in the industry, is installed on the HONOR 500 series. This one-touch button is customisable and offers
fast access to frequently used features, providing a more intelligent and convenient interaction experience, and making smart living simple.

Stunning Crystal-Clear Straight Display: Redefining Texture Standards with Exquisite
Craftsmanship

The camera module and rear glass are made as a single, seamless piece in the industry-leading integrated cold-carved unibody design of the HONOR 500 Series. As a result, a cohesive, sculptural surface with a polished hand feel is produced. The gadget achieves an industry-leading thin 1.05mm bezel and an ultra-slim 7.75mm profile thanks to the revised body architecture. In addition to providing a more comfortable, unhindered grip in both portrait and landscape configuration, its innovative horizontal camera layout highlights clean, aesthetically pleasing lines while freeing up internal space for a larger battery. The HONOR 500 Series sets new standards for robustness and tactile sophistication with its IP68, IP69, and IP69K water and dust resistance.

Color and Availability

The HONOR 500 Series is available in four crystal-inspired color options: Blue, Pink, Silver
and Black. The HONOR 500 Series will be available in China.
