Reviews for the Honor 500

Honor 500 Review: 8000mAh Battery in a Thin Phone?
Source: Tech X Reviews English
The Honor 500 is baffling me a bit. Usually, when a phone is this thin and light, you expect the battery life to take a massive hit. But somehow, Honor managed to stuff a massive 8000mAh Qinghai Lake battery inside a body that feels as light as air. It’s genuinely one of the most impressive engineering feats I’ve seen in a mid-range device this year. Design-wise, they’ve nailed the "Super Standard" concept. We’re looking at a unified 6.55-inch display across the whole series, which is arguably the sweet spot for size.

The CPU part consists of four clusters: the first consists of a prime core (Cortex X4) with up to 3.2 GHz, the second of three performance cores with up to 3.0 GHz (Cortex A720). The efficiency cluster consists of four power-saving units (Cortex A720), two of which operate at up to 2.8 GHz, while two others clock at up to 2.0 GHz.
