Official-source analysis
What the published evidence means
Editorial evidence audit completed by a research agent · 2026-07-15
SR501 has its own official manual and should not inherit SR701 storage or display specifications. The manual documents a Cortex-A53 quad-core platform, 3.1-inch WVGA display, 16GB storage, eight microphones and connected radios; iFLYTEK's history identifies it as the standard model released on May 21, 2019. It is no longer in the current recorder catalog, while a combined SR701/501 help and repair entry remains, supporting discontinued hardware with limited legacy service.
Where it stands out on paper
- The official manual confirms the model-specific 16GB storage and 3.1-inch WVGA display alongside an eight-microphone layout.
- 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth supported connected transcription and transfer workflows on the recorder.
Important trade-offs
- The model is absent from iFLYTEK's current recorder catalog, and the shared SR701/501 support entry does not establish present-day entitlement guarantees.
- Historical price, recording endurance, language coverage and current plan terms are not established by the reviewed first-party sources.
