Editorial report
Honor 500 Smart technical sheet
The Honor 500 Smart suits buyers looking for a light, slim 5G phone with room for apps and files: it has 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of expandable storage, and Android 16. Its main trade-off is the display and charging, which are less competitive than those of most phones of its time.
At 186 g and 7.9 mm thick, it is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. It also has IP54 protection, a side fingerprint sensor, dual Nano-SIM support, NFC, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS cover navigation, while Bluetooth 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi round out the connections.
The 6.75″ TFT LCD reaches 450 nits, 260 ppi, and 90 Hz. Those figures are among the weakest of its time, particularly for brightness, pixel density, and refresh rate. Performance is typical with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture but no optical stabilization, and the camera is worse than most of its time. A 5260 mAh battery is typical, while 15 W charging is worse than that of most phones of its time. With a NeoScore of 5.3, the Honor 500 Smart makes most sense for buyers who prioritize lightness, storage, and useful connections over display quality, camera hardware, or fast charging.
