200MP camera and powerful zoom
The Honor 500 Pro is said to feature a 200MP main sensor with a 1/1.4-inch size, offering sharper detail and better low-light photos than its predecessor, the Honor 400 Pro. It will be joined by a 64MP periscope telephoto camera using OmniVision’s OV64B sensor, capable of 3× optical zoom.
