realme expands its C-Series lineup with its most powerful budget 5G smartphone yet, offering premium features at an affordable price.
realme Philippines has officially launched the realme C85 5G, marking the biggest leap yet for its C-Series lineup. For the first time, a realme C-Series budget smartphone features a massive 7000mAh battery paired with next-generation 5G connectivity, offering flagship-level performance at an accessible price.
The realme C85 5G is available for as low as P10,989 on the official realme TikTok Shop with an SRP of P14,999.
Ultra-Long Battery Life and Military-Grade Durability
Designed for heavy use, the realme C85 5G’s 7000mAh battery delivers 15 hours of continuous gaming or 28 hours of video playback. Even when critically low, the device can provide up to 9 hours of standby time on just 1% battery. When it’s time to charge, the 45W SUPERVOOC Charge technology is quick, juicing up the battery to 50% in only 42 minutes. Furthermore, the battery is optimized for longevity, retaining 80% of its health after 6 years of use.
Beyond its power, the realme C85 5G is built ruggedly. It features Military-Grade Shock Resistance and a triple IP Rating (IP66/68/69K). This means that the phone is protected against drops, dust, and water jets, and can even survive submersion. During realme’s internal durability test, the device also survived a 20ft dive test, further proving its exceptional toughness. Notably, the device has been tested to resist damage from 36 types of liquids, including coffee, soda, and common household cleaning solutions.
Powerful 5G Performance
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, the realme C85 5G delivers fast 5G speeds for smooth mobile gaming, quick downloads, and responsive everyday performance. To maintain consistent performance, the device is also equipped with a large vapor chamber cooling system that keeps the device cool while handling heavy loads.. Complementing this is support for up to 24GB of Dynamic RAM, ensuring efficient multitasking and seamless app switching.
Immersive Display Experience
The phone sports a large 6.8-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate, providing ultra-smooth visuals and enhanced clarity. Its 1,200-Nit peak brightness ensures excellent visibility even under direct sunlight. For outdoor scenarios, AI Outdoor Mode automatically boosts screen brightness and optimizes network performance for uninterrupted use, whether commuting, driving, or walking under the scorching sun.
Meanwhile, photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 50MP AI Camera, which captures detailed, vibrant, high-resolution shots. It’s enhanced by AI features like AI Ultra Clarity for sharper images and AI Edit Genie for quick, effortless photo enhancements.
