The Honor 500 series with its 8000mAh battery ends the battery life race

Honor’s newly launched 500 series has raised the bar for “mid-range phones”—an 8000mAh Qinghai Lake battery lasts for two days, a Snapdragon 8 series chip runs Genshin Impact at full frame rate, a 200-megapixel camera lets you easily capture stunning photos, and it even comes equipped with IP69K water resistance.

The Honor 500 series is now available for pre-order and will officially go on sale at 10:00 AM on November 27th. The standard version is priced at 2699 yuan for 12+256GB and 2999 yuan for 12+512GB; the Pro version is priced at 3599 yuan for 12+256GB and 4799 yuan for 16+1TB. There are also several other versions available. Students and working professionals alike can’t go wrong with this.

First, consider the appearance and feel, which are the “first hurdles” for young people when choosing a new phone. The Honor 500 series uses an aerospace-grade frosted aluminum alloy frame, paired with a cold-carved glass back cover, which feels delicate and doesn’t attract fingerprints; the aquamarine color shimmers with a gradient starlight effect in the sunlight, while the starlight pink is a low-saturation, gentle tone, making it a favorite for both men and women.

The most impressive feature is its slim and lightweight design. The 6.55-inch 1.5K flat screen body is only 7.75mm thick and weighs 198g, which is nearly 1mm thinner than ordinary large-capacity phones. It is virtually invisible when put in a pocket, and it is easy to watch videos and take photos with one hand. Even girls with small hands can easily handle it.

The screen experience is an added bonus. The 120Hz adaptive refresh rate makes scrolling as smooth as Dove chocolate, and the 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming plus nine eye protection functions mean that there is no flicker when watching dramas in bed at night, and your eyes are less likely to get tired.

Even more surprising is its exceptional durability—IP68/IP69/IP69K waterproof and dustproof ratings mean you can withstand spills of milk tea or light rain without worry, making it incredibly convenient for everyday use.

8000mAh Battery Life King: Say Goodbye to Power Banks

Say goodbye to low battery warnings! The Honor 500 series is equipped with an 8000mAh second-generation Qinghai Lake battery with an energy density of 821Wh/L. Even with heavy use such as gaming and video watching, there is still power left after a full day. Light use can easily achieve the freedom of “two days on a single charge”.

Even in extreme environments, the Honor 500 series can withstand the test of battery technology upgrades from Qinghai Lake, maintaining smooth calls, photography, and navigation even in extremely cold environments of -20°C.

It also supports battery health status visualization, allowing users to check battery health at any time.

The emergency charging is incredibly powerful; the 80W wired fast charging can restore 45% of the battery in just 10 minutes. If you wake up in the morning and find the battery dead, it’s enough to last until you get off work while you’re getting ready.

The Pro version is even more thoughtful, adding 50W wireless fast charging. Simply place it before bed, and it will be fully charged when you leave the next day.

It also supports 27W reverse charging, so when your headphones or watch run out of power, your phone can be used as a power bank, eliminating the need to carry a bunch of chargers.

All models come standard with Snapdragon 8 series processors: Smooth gaming experience without overheating.

While maintaining a slim and lightweight design and long battery life, the Honor 500 still delivers top-tier performance in its class. The standard version features a Snapdragon 8s Gen4 processor, achieving an AnTuTu score of around 2.5 million; the Pro version goes straight for the Snapdragon 8 Elite, easily surpassing 3 million in benchmark scores.

In actual testing of “Honor of Kings” at 120fps, the average frame rate reached 120.4, and the 1% low frame rate was 118.1, with a power consumption of only 2.86W, which is far superior to others.

Combined with Phantom Engine 3.0, it integrates multiple advanced features such as AI rendering and display separation technology, touch enhancement technology, AI power consumption adaptive technology, and AI ultra-high-quality engine, bringing a more stable and outstanding gaming experience.

With the Phantom Engine 3.0, it integrates multiple advanced functions such as AI rendering separation, touch enhancement, and AI power consumption adaptation. It also supports simultaneous super-resolution and super-frame operation, and can run desktop-level Genshin Impact at 90 frames per second + 1.5K resolution with an average frame rate of 90.1, which is smooth and clear. The highest temperature of the device is only 37℃, and it feels warm to the touch without getting hot.

In addition, the Pro version adds the HONOR C1+ RF chip, ensuring stable video streaming and messaging even in signal dead zones such as subways and elevators, reducing disconnections while gaming, and allowing direct connection to campus networks without authentication, much to the delight of students.

200MP imaging + full focal length: Photos with built-in atmosphere

For young people, photography performance is equally important. The Honor 500 series comes standard with a 200-megapixel main camera, and its 1/1.4-inch large sensor allows for more light intake than other phones in the same price range. Night scenes have very little noise, and even when zoomed in, details like hair and texture are clearly visible. Daytime photos produce true-to-life colors and have excellent dynamic range, making even casual street scenes look like postcards.

The front-facing 50MP camera delivers a natural-looking Live Beauty filter, eliminating the need for post-processing when live streaming or taking selfies.

The system also hides some surprises: the Live Passerby Removal feature can remove passersby from photos frame by frame, so you no longer have to wait for an empty spot when taking photos at popular photo spots; there are also naked-eye 3D effects that “break out of the frame” and 6 film filters, so your posts on WeChat Moments will instantly become the most liked.

The Pro version adds a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, 5x optical zoom, and OIS image stabilization, so whether you’re sitting in the back row at a concert or shooting distant scenery while traveling, everything will be just as clear as if you were right in front of them.

Paired with the Honor Choice LCHSE Clip-on Earphones 2 Pro, the 12mm dual magnetic unit delivers excellent sound quality. The open-back design provides a comfortable and secure fit without pinching the ears. It also supports AI real-time translation, making the ecosystem combination experience more complete.
