Honor 500 Prototype Performance Leaked, Revealing Key Specifications
Honor is anticipated to launch its mid-range Honor 500 and 500 Pro models before the conclusion of the current year. Prior to the official release, a leaked design sketch of the Honor 500 has surfaced, showcasing a rear panel design that draws inspiration from Google’s Pixel series.
A prototype of the Honor 500, identified by the model number MEY-AN00, has been benchmarked on Geekbench. The results indicate a single-core score of 2,113 and a multi-core score of 6,539 using Geekbench 6.3. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 System-on-Chip (SoC) and is equipped with 16GB of RAM.
The prototype is running Android 16, suggesting this will be the operating system for the final product. It is noteworthy that earlier reports speculated the Honor 500 would utilize the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. This discrepancy suggests either a revision in the development roadmap or the initial rumors were inaccurate. The Honor 400, for reference, launched in May with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC.
Further specifications for the Honor 500 are expected to include a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, alongside enhancements to the camera system compared to its predecessor. Updates regarding the device will be provided as additional information becomes available.
