Verdict
Honor 500 Pro midranger is actually a paired-down flagship: the 1-year old Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and camera setup and performance (now with periscope telephoto) take it out of the "midrange" territory while excellent build and feature rich MagicOS confirm this to be a proper flagship-killer phone. Too bad this is a China-only phone...
PROs
great build, fast 8 Elite with UFS 3.1 performance, 48hr endurance from a massive 8000mAh Si-C battery (in a 74mm body!) with sub-90min 80W (50W wireless) charging, >1600nits bright 460ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, excellent imaging from a 200MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP OIS PDAF periscope telephoto + 12MP PDAF AF ultrawide setup, excellent 50MP selfie, very good videos, loaded and very useful MagicOS with 6 years of OS updates
CONs
China-only, relatively slow to charge (flagship Honor phones charge at 100W or 120W), no expandable memory, desktop replacement functionality or even video out, slow USB-C 2.0 port with OTG
