The HONOR 500 Series redefines the mid-range segment with flagship-class portrait imaging, all-scenario live capture capabilities, extended endurance, and an upgraded MagicOS 10 experience designed for the next generation of young, always-on creators.  


“With the HONOR 500 Series, we are redefining what consumers should expect from a standard, mid-range smartphone. The HONOR 500 is ‘standard’ done right, delivering a complete, well-rounded user experience that is engineered to impress. The HONOR 500 Pro goes a step beyond, building upon the solid foundation to improve upon every facet of the experience, just like what a ‘Pro’ model is expected to do,” said Fei Fang, President of Products at HONOR. 


200MP Portrait Engine: All-Scenario Live Photo

Both models in the HONOR 500 Series feature the new 200MP AI Ultra-Clear Main Camera, equipped with a category-leading 1/1.4-inch CMOS sensor, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. The HONOR 500 Pro also comes with a 50MP telephoto camera that supports HONOR’s self-developed SOIS stabilization system, delivering flagship-grade CIPA5.0 image stabilization performance to ensure images remain crisp and steady even during fast-paced or handheld shooting.


The HONOR 500 Series delivers a comprehensive live imaging experience with industry-first front-and-rear Live portrait modes that add background blur, beauty effects, and atmosphere to every frame. It also introduces an industry-leading range of immersive film-inspired color options, offering six distinct Film Live modes for users to choose from. Additionally, the innovative Live Passerby Removal feature ensures that dynamic moments remain free from distractions, keeping you the focal point at all times. The series also supports effortless 4K-to-Live conversion, enabling users to easily transform 4K videos into 4K Live clips for seamless sharing on social media.


Snapdragon Flagship Power: Smooth, Fast, and Reliable Performance

The HONOR 500 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, while the HONOR 500 Pro upgrades to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, delivering flagship-level speed and responsiveness across both models. Paired with the HONOR Phantom Engine 3.0, which accurately anticipates graphical workloads and optimizes rendering processes, the HONOR 500 Series delivers remarkably stable gaming performance, with consistent frame rates in popular titles including Honor of Kings and Genshin Impact.  


8,000mAh Battery: Two-Day Endurance in a Slim 6.55-inch Body

Stunning Crystal-Clear Straight Display: Redefining Texture Standards with Exquisite Craftsmanship

The HONOR 500 Series features an industry-leading integrated cold-carved unibody design, in which the camera module and rear glass are crafted as a single seamless piece. This creates a unified, sculptural surface with a refined hand feel. Benefiting from the redesigned body architecture, the device achieves an ultra-slim 7.75mm profile and an industry-leading narrow 1.05mm bezel. Its new horizontal camera layout emphasizes clean aesthetic lines while freeing internal space for a larger battery, and offers a more comfortable, unobstructed grip in both portrait and landscape orientation. With IP68 / IP69 / IP69K water and dust resistance, the HONOR 500 Series raises the bar for durability and tactile sophistication.

‘Wells “The One:” The Perfect Holiday Companion for Filipino Celebrations


The festive holiday season brings joy, but also a challenge: keeping up with the demands of hosting family and friends. Between preparing meals for Noche Buena, serving guests, and managing the constant need for drinks, every host knows that the smallest conveniences can make the biggest difference.

Wells Philippines understands this. Their award-winning flagship model, The One, brings 23 years of Korean engineering expertise to Filipino households, offering a quiet solution for Filipino families navigating the busiest season of the year. 

Built for Filipino Celebrations

The One makes holiday hosting easier for Filipinos, thanks to the following features:

Temperature Versatility: The One serves water at your preferred temperature across three levels. Make spiced tea, coffee, or hot tsokolate in seconds with hot water at 50°C, 70°C, or 85°C. Prepare cold fruit juice at 6°C, and use ambient water at 27°C for your Christmas stews. 

Compact Design: At just 8.8cm in diameter, The One doesn’t take up too much space on Filipino kitchen counters. During the holidays, when lechon dominates the table, and fruit salad cups crowd the countertop, every inch of space matters.

One Wheel Touch: Its One Wheel Touch feature allows you to control water temperature and volume with just a fingertip. While you’re busy serving Noche Buena, guests can easily help themselves to water.

9-Step Filtration: The compact 6-inch filter removes seven types of heavy metals and 35 types of harmful micro-organisms. Filipinos can trust that every glass served to guests meets high-quality standards.

Auto Water Draining System: After back-to-back festive celebrations, the last thing you want is another chore. While you rest, The One’s automatic sterilization feature refreshes unused water every 24 hours, ensuring that clean water is one less thing to worry about after the party.

With Wells The One, your home is ready for whatever the holidays bring. You and your loved ones can focus on the moments that make gatherings memorable—the conversations, laughter, and connections.
