Manila, Philippines, December 12, 2025 – Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR has officially unveiled the all-new HONOR 500 Series, consisting of the HONOR 500 and HONOR 500 Pro, marking a bold step forward in the evolution of mid-range smartphones. Designed for today’s young, creative, and always-connected users, the HONOR 500 Series brings flagship-level imaging, powerful performance, extended battery life, and intelligent software into a sleek and durable design—raising the standard for what consumers can expect from this segment.
“With the HONOR 500 Series, we are redefining what users should expect from a standard mid-range smartphone,” said Fei Fang, President of Products at HONOR. “The HONOR 500 is ‘standard’ done right—offering a complete and well-balanced experience engineered to impress. The HONOR 500 Pro builds on this foundation and elevates every aspect, delivering the enhanced performance and features users expect from a ‘Pro’ device.”
Flagship-Class Imaging with a 200MP Portrait Engine
At the heart of the HONOR 500 Series is its powerful 200MP AI Ultra-Clear Main Camera, featuring a category-leading 1/1.4-inch CMOS sensor, complemented by a 12MP ultra-wide camera on both models. The HONOR 500 Pro further enhances imaging capabilities with a 50MP telephoto camera, supported by HONOR’s self-developed SOIS stabilization system, delivering CIPA 5.0-level image stabilization for sharp, steady shots—even in fast-moving or handheld scenarios.
Photography and videography are elevated with industry-first front-and-rear Live Portrait modes, allowing users to capture dynamic moments with natural background blur, refined beauty effects, and cinematic atmosphere. The series also introduces six film-inspired Live color modes, giving users creative freedom to express their personal style. The innovative Live Passerby Removal feature ensures clean, distraction-free frames, while 4K-to-Live conversion allows users to seamlessly turn 4K videos into shareable Live clips for social media.
Flagship Performance Powered by Snapdragon
Performance is driven by Qualcomm’s latest chipsets, with the HONOR 500 powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and the HONOR 500 Pro featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Combined with HONOR Phantom Engine 3.0, both devices deliver smooth, responsive, and stable performance across multitasking, content creation, and gaming. Users can enjoy consistent frame rates in popular titles such as Honor of Kings and Genshin Impact, even during extended play sessions.
Massive 8,000mAh Battery in a Slim Body
Despite its slim 6.55-inch form factor, the HONOR 500 Series houses a class-leading 8,000mAh HONOR Silicon-Carbon Battery, offering up to two days of usage on a single charge. Both models support 27W wired reverse charging, allowing users to power accessories or other devices when needed. The HONOR 500 supports 80W wired charging, while the HONOR 500 Pro adds 50W wireless charging for fast and convenient power-ups.
Intelligent Display, Connectivity, and MagicOS 10
HONOR continues to lead in eye-care innovation with advanced display technologies designed to reduce eye strain caused by flicker, brightness changes, and prolonged screen time. Features such as AI Defocus Display and AI Motion Sickness Relief enhance everyday viewing comfort.
Connectivity is further strengthened on the HONOR 500 Pro with the HONOR C1+ RF Enhanced Chip, which improves signal reception, uplink speed, and network stability—ensuring smoother streaming and faster uploads even in crowded or low-signal environments.
Running on the all-new MagicOS 10, the HONOR 500 Series introduces the industry’s only tiered AI Button—a customizable one-touch control that provides instant access to frequently used functions, making smart interactions faster and more intuitive.
Premium Craftsmanship and Durability
The HONOR 500 Series showcases an integrated cold-carved unibody design, seamlessly merging the camera module and rear glass into a single sculptural surface. With an ultra-slim 7.75mm profile, 1.05mm narrow bezels, and a redesigned horizontal camera layout, the device offers both visual elegance and a comfortable grip. Certified with IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, the series sets a new benchmark for durability.
Color and Availability
The HONOR 500 Series is available in four crystal-inspired colorways: Blue, Pink, Silver, and Black. The series will be available in China, with global availability to follow.
