Reviews for the Honor 500
Honor 500 Review: 8000mAh Battery in a Thin Phone?
Source: Tech X Reviews
The Honor 500 is baffling me a bit. Usually, when a phone is this thin and light, you expect the battery life to take a massive hit. But somehow, Honor managed to stuff a massive 8000mAh Qinghai Lake battery inside a body that feels as light as air. It’s genuinely one of the most impressive engineering feats I’ve seen in a mid-range device this year. Design-wise, they’ve nailed the "Super Standard" concept. We’re looking at a unified 6.55-inch display across the whole series, which is arguably the sweet spot for size.

Honor 500 Series Review: Mid-Range Phones Deliver Flagship Performance
Source: Igeekphone EN→zh-CN
After putting both phones through their paces, it’s clear the Honor 500 series really stands out in the $400-550 price bracket. What’s impressive is how both modelsmanage to nail the fundamentals that actually matter—smooth performance, all-day (and then some) battery life, solid main camera quality, and generous storage. The Pro version even punches well above its weight class in several areas, delivering features you’d typically find on much pricier flagships. Performance-wise, both phones hold their own impressively.
