Honor 500 and 500 Pro: Series spotted on the 3C platform ahead of their November launch
Rumors surrounding the upcoming Honor 500 series are gaining traction. Two new models from Honor have appeared in the database of the Chinese certification platform 3C, indicating that their launch is imminent.
Two Models Certified with 80W Fast Charging
According to information shared by Chinese tech bloggers, two phones bearing the model numbers MEP-AN00 and MEY-AN00 have recently received their 3C certification.
These references, associated with the code names “Merry” and “MerryP,” are likely the Honor 500 and Honor 500 Pro.
Documents reveal compatibility with 80W fast charging, confirming the premium positioning of the series.
This certification stage suggests an official announcement in November in China.
