Honor just showed the Honor 500 series design in official images, and reservations are now live in China. You can see the phones on Honor’s own Chinese store and promo visuals today, which is about time after days of teasing. The look is clean and simple, with a wide horizontal camera bar on the back that both the Honor 500 and Honor 500 Pro share. The Pro adds an extra circular module on the right side of that bar, which hints at a more advanced camera setup. No public launch date is posted yet.
Honor 500 series design and specs
From the images Honor shared, the back uses a smooth unibody “cold‑carved” finish that gives it a neat, glassy sheen. It looks premium without screaming about it. Colors shown include blue, pink, silver, and black. I like the blue one, it pops without feeling loud. The Honor 500 Pro also includes a dedicated photo button on the side for quick shots. It’s a small touch that makes sense for folks who shoot a lot, honestly I wish more phones brought that back.
The camera bar sits wide and near the top, so the phone should sit flatter on a desk with less wobble. The frame appears tight and even, with tidy cutouts and subtle curves that won’t dig into your palm. It’s the kind of design you notice after a day, not just in a glam shot, which is usually a good sign.
Reservations are open in China through Honor’s official store, which means stock-keeping units and colors are locked in, even if the full spec sheet is not public yet. If you care about cameras first, keep an eye on that extra module on the Honor 500 Pro. If you want something a bit lighter or more compact, the standard Honor 500 might be the safer pick. Pricing will decide a lot here, and we’ll have to see where Honor lands.
Unconfirmed details making the rounds suggest a bright 120 Hz OLED in a roughly 1.5K class, a high‑resolution main camera with optical stabilization, a sharp selfie camera, and a Pro-only zoom system. There is also chatter about a large battery with fast wired charging and wireless charging on the Pro, plus MagicOS based on the latest Android. Treat those pieces as unofficial until Honor posts the full spec sheet.
Quick take after a first look: the Honor 500 series design keeps things tidy and practical. The camera bar layout is easy to live with, the colors are friendly, and that photo button on the Pro tells you where Honor wants to win. If you were waiting for a camera‑centric mid‑to‑upper phone from Honor, this looks right up that alley.
