Massive Battery and Robust Performance

The standout feature of the Realme C85 5G is its colossal 7,000mAh battery. Realme claims this “Titan Battery” can deliver up to two days of use and supports up to 45W SuperVOOC wired fast charging, helping to quickly top up the large cell.

Immersive Display and Durability

The C85 5G boasts a large 6.8-inch HD+ LCD screen with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. While the resolution is only HD+, the high refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1200 nits (High Brightness Mode) aim to provide a responsive and clear viewing experience, even outdoors.

In an unusual move for the budget segment, Realme has equipped the C85 5G with industry-leading durability ratings including IP66, IP68, and IP69.
