Buy the Honor N Series
Looking for a phone from the Honor N series? Here you’ll find all the numbered Honor models in one place, available both on a pay-as-you-go basis and with a contract. This is the brand’s mid-range range: a large screen, a long-lasting battery and a comprehensive camera, without the flagship price tag. If you’re looking for the top-of-the-range model, take a look at the Honor Magic series; the full range is available at Honor. We compare the current prices across all shops, 100% independently. Use the filters for battery life, camera or price to find the best model straight away.
What should you look out for in an Honor N-series phone?
The N-series is Honor’s numbered mid-range range: you pay significantly less than for a Magic flagship and, above all, sacrifice processing power rather than camera quality or battery life. This is more than enough for making calls, messaging, social media, videos and photos. Only demanding games and intensive video editing require a more expensive device. You can see which models are currently available and how much they cost in the overview above.

Lite, Standard or Pro: what’s the difference?
Each model in the range comes in several versions. These differ mainly in terms of the chip, camera and charging speed, not in design or software.
- Lite: the entry-level model with a large screen and long battery life, but a simpler chip and a weaker camera in low light.
- Standard: the mid-range option with a faster processor and a better main camera. This is usually where you get the most phone for your money.
- Pro: the most expensive N variant, featuring an additional telephoto lens and faster charging. Price-wise, it’s already close to a discounted flagship model.
The camera is the key selling point
Honor is focusing heavily on megapixels in the N series. The Honor 500 and 500 Pro, for example, feature a 200-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and an 8000 mAh battery that charges at 80 watts. However, more megapixels do not automatically mean better photos: sensor size and image processing carry more weight. More importantly, does it feature a genuine telephoto lens? This is usually only found on the Pro models; on the other versions, zooming is digital and therefore noticeably softer.
China first, Europe later
Honor releases its series in phases: first in China, then in Europe, sometimes with modified hardware. The Honor 500 series was launched in China in November 2025 without a confirmed international release date, and in the case of the Magic8 series, the European version had a smaller battery than the Chinese one. So check what is actually available here; this is listed in the overview above. Furthermore, devices launched as new in the EU since 20 June 2025 are subject to a minimum of five years’ operating system and security updates (EU Regulation).
When you take a closer look at the Magic series
Opt for a higher-end model if you want the fastest chip, the most powerful zoom or a foldable screen. The Magic Pro models feature Honor’s most powerful camera hardware, whilst the Magic V foldables unfold into a small tablet. Both cost several times as much as an N-series device. Conversely, if you’re mainly after a great screen, a good daytime camera and a battery that lasts the whole day, you’ll hardly notice the price difference in everyday use.
