Evidence-based overview
500 Smart technical sheet
The Honor 500 Smart pairs a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 with an octa-core CPU reaching 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of expandable storage. That specification suits users who want 5G connectivity and plenty of room for files. Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, a 3.5 mm audio jack and Dual Nano-SIM add useful connection options. The phone runs Android 16.
Its 6.75-inch TFT LCD uses a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The documented resolution is 720 × 1,600 pixels, with peak brightness listed at 450 nits. A 5,260 mAh Li-Polymer battery supports 15 W fast charging and reverse charging, while the battery features list includes a charger. The 186 g body is 7.9 mm thick and has documented IP54 resistance.
The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture, manual controls and video recording up to 1080p at 50 fps. The 5 MP front camera records 1080p at 30 fps. Optical image stabilization is not provided on the main rear camera. Overall, the Honor 500 Smart is better suited to people prioritizing battery capacity, 5G, expandable storage and broad connectivity than to buyers seeking a high-resolution display or especially fast charging.
