The Honor 700 Pro has appeared on Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 — Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip, and 16GB of RAM, just one day before its scheduled China launch. The listing, under model number HONOR FAP-AN00, scored 2,862 in single-core and 9,397 in multi-core tests using Geekbench 6.7.1.

It runs Android 17 and reports 14.78GB of usable memory, consistent with a 16GB RAM configuration. The CPU is clocked at two cores up to 3.80GHz and six cores up to 3.32GHz. The GPU is listed as Adreno 829. Honor hasn’t confirmed the chip or benchmark, but the SM8845 platform identifier matches Qualcomm’s official designation for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, and earlier leaks had already pegged that chip exclusively to the Pro model.

FAP-AN00 is one of three model numbers cleared by China’s 3C certification body ahead of launch, though Honor hasn’t publicly tied it to the 700 Pro name. The company has confirmed all three variants, Honor 700, 700 Pro, and 700S, go on sale in China on November 13. Official pages are live with color options and memory tiers (12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB), but no pricing or full specs yet.

That changes Thursday. The 700 Pro follows the Honor 600 Pro, which launched in May with a MediaTek Dimensity 8550 Elite, so this marks Honor’s first use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in a flagship. Leaks suggest a 6.57-inch 1.5K flat OLED, 200MP main camera, 50MP periscope telephoto, and ~9,000mAh battery, all upgrades over last year’s model.

No global rollout date or US/India pricing has been announced. But if past Honor launches hold, expect India pricing to land within days of the China debut, and US availability, if any, to lag by weeks or months. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite comparison is now real: this is the first verified benchmark of the Gen 5 in a shipping-bound device.

And it arrives just as Qualcomm’s rival chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, begins appearing in vivo in devices like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The clock is ticking on Thursday’s reveal.
