Beyond the battery, the Honor 500 Pro aims to be a top-level terminal. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoCaccompanied by configurations that will reach the 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB internal storage. The device would also feature a custom C1 modem.

In the multimedia section, the leak mentions a 6.55 inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a high resolution of 2736 x 1264 pixels. On the back, the device will mount a sensor 200 MP main cameraalso situated in the high photographic range. Finally, it is expected to include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
