Honor has officially joined the increasingly crowded late-November launch lineup. With Huawei already set for its Mate-series event and OnePlus preparing its own showcase, Honor has now confirmed that the new Honor 500 series will be unveiled in China on November 24 at 19:30 local time.

The company has revealed that the upcoming lineup will feature two smartphones, Honor 500 and Honor 500 Pro. Based on the teasers, tech enthusiasts were quick to notice that both models will sport an iPhone Air-inspired horizontal camera layout.

Although full specifications are still under wraps, earlier leaks have outlined what we can expect from both models. So, here’s everything we know about the phones based on recent leaks.

Leaks suggest that the Honor 500 Pro will be equipped with a 6.55-inch display offering a 2736 × 1264 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, it is rumored to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The base variant is expected to start with a 12GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration.

The device could pack a massive 8000mAh silicon battery, supporting 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both phones in the lineup are said to ship with MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.

In the camera department, the Pro model is tipped to include a 200MP primary camera. However, renowned tipster DCS cautions that “limitations in image processing” may prevent prototype-level quality from fully appearing in the retail unit.

The camera setup may also feature a 64MP periscope lens, an ultra-wide camera, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Honor’s proprietary C1+ RF chip is also expected to improve network performance.

The standard Honor 500 is also rumored to include a 6.55-inch OLED display, 1.5K resolution, and 120Hz refresh rate, according to DCS. Both the vanilla and Pro models are expected to feature a 50MP front-facing camera.

On the back, the Honor 500 may house a 200MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens. Powering the device could be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a slightly toned-down version of the flagship chipset but still highly capable.
