The Chinese company Honor has officially presented the design of the new Honor 500 series of smartphones, which is positioned as a sub-flagship line. The smartphones are available for pre-order in China and visually resemble the iPhone Air.

The base model of the Honor 500 has a triple camera with two large lenses placed in a rectangular block, similar to the one used in the iPhone Air. The Honor 500 Pro version also has a triple module, but with a different design of the camera unit and an additional sensor.

Honor confirmed that both models will have a 200-megapixel camera. The storage capacity of the base model will reach 12 GB and 512 GB, and the Pro model will have 16 GB and 512 GB.

The smartphones will be available in four colors: Moonlight Silver, Obsidian Black, Starlight Powder, and Aquamarine. Honor has not yet announced the official launch date.

Recently, the new Honor 500 smartphone was spotted in the hands of the Olympic diving champion. As a reminder, Motorola has introduced a competitor to the iPhone 17 Air - the ultra-thin Moto X70 Air smartphone. And in China, a competitor to the iPhone Air - the slim Huawei Mate 70 Air.
