The Honor 700 Pro appears to have passed through Geekbench ahead of its expected unveiling on November 13, and the listing confirms what many suspected: the phone runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

The device, identified by model number FAP-AN00, posted a single-core score of 2,862 and a multi-core score of 9,397. Those numbers are consistent with other Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 devices that have appeared on the benchmark platform in recent weeks, putting the Honor 700 Pro firmly in flagship territory.

The Chip

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, also known internally as SM8845, is built on TSMC's 3nm process. It features an octa-core CPU with two high-performance Oryon V3 Phoenix L cores clocked at 3.8 GHz and six efficiency Oryon V3 Phoenix M cores at 3.32 GHz. The GPU is the Adreno 829.

For context, the standard Honor 700 is expected to use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a cut-down chip that trades some peak performance for better power efficiency. The Pro model stepping up to the full Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 signals that Honor is positioning the 700 Pro as a genuine performance flagship rather than an upper-midrange device.

A flagship name on a mid-tier chip is a familiar trick. This listing says Honor is not playing it.

Other Expected Specifications

Earlier leaks have painted a detailed picture of what the Honor 700 Pro might offer beyond the chipset. The phone is rumored to feature a 6.57-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution, a step up from the curved panels Honor has favored in recent generations.

The camera system reportedly includes a 200-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and a 50-megapixel telephoto. If accurate, the 200MP main sensor would be the highest resolution Honor has used in the 700 series.

Battery capacity is said to land around 9,000 mAh with 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging support. That battery size has become increasingly common among Chinese flagship phones in 2026, though it remains larger than what most Western-market flagships offer.

Everything past the chipset is unconfirmed. The Geekbench entry verifies the processor and the model number. The display, camera and battery figures come from separate supply-chain leaks that Honor has not addressed.

Launch Date

The Honor 700 series unveiling is confirmed for November 13, just two days away. The lineup is expected to include three models, all reportedly featuring a secondary rear display. Official pricing and availability details should follow the announcement.

Until then, the Geekbench listing at least settles one question: the Honor 700 Pro is running Qualcomm's best, not a mid-tier chip with a flagship name.
