Under the hood, the Honor 500 Pro is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, accompanied by up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of onboard storage. The handset could also feature a proprietary C1, an RF chip, and an E2 chip for energy management, as per the tipster.

For optics, the upcoming handset may carry a 200-megapixel main camera. The tipster, however, claims that the overall camera performance could be reduced compared to the prototype due to stacking constraints. The camera deco on the Honor 500 Pro is said to be manufactured using a cold-carving process, similar to Apple.

The handset is also tipped to come with a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for biometric security. It may pack a silicon-based 8,000mAh battery. Per previous reports, the Honor 500 Pro could support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Honor has already teased the launch of the Honor 500 Pro series in China. The handsets have been listed on the company's online store, revealing the colour variants and storage configurations. The Pro model will be sold in 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 512GB variants. Meanwhile, the Honor 500 is listed in 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 512GB configurations.

Both models are expected to be available in four colourways — Aquamarine, Starlight Powder, Obsidian Black, and Moonlight Silver (translated from Chinese).
