The device with model number MEY-AN00, believed to be Honor’s upcoming new smartphone, the Honor 500 Pro, has surfaced in Geekbench testing. The processor details of the device, which previously hinted at fast charging capabilities on the 3C certification platform, put an end to previous rumors of a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
The Honor 500 Pro’s Brain: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
Data from the Geekbench listing suggests the device will be positioned in the powerful but sub-flagship segment. The Geekbench listing for the Honor MEY-AN00 model confirms the phone’s core is the Qualcomm SM8735 chipset. These details confirm that the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor.
The chip features a quad-cluster architecture, including a main core clocked at 3.21 GHz, and an Adreno 825 GPU. The listing also reveals that the device will come with 16 GB of RAM and run Android 16 out of the box. The phone proved its promise as a high-performance device by achieving a single-core score of 2113 and a multi-core score of 6539 in Geekbench 6.3.
Because Honor generally uses the Snapdragon 8-series chipset in its Pro models, the MEY-AN00 model is believed to be the Honor 500 Pro. According to other leaked information, the expected technical details of the Honor 500 Pro focus on photography and display quality.
A 6.5-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution is expected. A redesigned design with a horizontal camera bar on the rear is expected. The triple rear camera system will feature a 200-megapixel sensor with OIS support for the main camera. This will be accompanied by an ultra-wide lens and a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto lens for enhanced optical zoom. The device is expected to have a large battery with 100W fast charging support.
The standard Honor 500, rumored to come with model number MEP-AN00, is expected to offer the same display, a 200-megapixel dual camera setup, and 100W charging. The standard model’s processor will likely be a Snapdragon 7-series chipset like the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
