Comfort, convenience, and reliability matter more than ever when choosing a daily device, and that’s the promise behind the new realme C85 5G. realme Philippines has officially launched what may be its most ambitious C-Series model yet, combining a massive 7000mAh battery, next-generation 5G connectivity, and rugged durability into a surprisingly affordable package.
The realme C85 5G goes for as low as P10,989 on the official realme TikTok Shop, far below its P14,999 SRP, making it one of the most accessible big-battery 5G phones in the budget segment today.
A battery built for all-day energy
The 7000mAh battery is easily the biggest highlight. According to realme, it can power up to 15 hours of continuous gaming or about 28 hours of video playback. Even when the battery drops to a single percentage point, the phone can still squeeze out up to nine hours on standby.
Charging is equally impressive thanks to 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging, bringing the device to 50 percent in around 42 minutes. The battery is engineered to retain 80 percent of its original health after six years of use, giving users long-term value.
What makes the C85 5G stand out is how tough it is. The device carries Military-Grade Shock Resistance and a triple IP rating: IP66, IP68, and IP69K. It’s protected from dust, daily drops, and even high-pressure water jets. realme also shared that during internal tests, the C85 survived a 20-foot dive and exposure to 36 liquids—everything from soda to cleaning solutions.
5G performance made smoother with better cooling
The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, delivering fast 5G speeds for streaming, mobile gaming, and everyday tasks. A vapor chamber cooling system helps manage temperatures during long sessions, while support for up to 24GB Dynamic RAM improves multitasking and app switching.
A brighter, smoother display experience
Up front, the realme C85 5G features a large 6.8-inch screen with a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals. With a peak brightness of 1,200 nits, the display stays readable outdoors—even under intense sunlight.
AI Outdoor Mode automatically boosts brightness and network responsiveness when the phone detects you’re on the move.
Its 50MP AI camera captures sharp, vivid images and adds AI Ultra Clarity and AI Edit Genie for quick enhancements. It’s built for users who want easy, smart photography without having to tweak endless settings.
Availability, launch freebies, and new accessories
The realme C85 5G comes in Parrot Purple and Peacock Green, both featuring feather-inspired patterns that give the phone a more premium feel. realme is also offering a free TechLife Power Bank 10000mAh worth P1,499 for every purchase made during the launch period, available nationwide while supplies last.
realme also introduced its newest wearable audio device, the realme Buds Clip. Designed with an open-ear, ear-clip style, it offers better comfort for long wear and keeps you aware of your surroundings. It uses an 11mm Dual-Magnet driver, AI Dual-Mic ENC, NextBass Algorithm, and 3D Spatial Audio, and delivers up to 36 hours of battery life. The Buds Clip is priced at P4,999.
Fans can also wait for the upcoming dive-test video of the C85 5G and further updates on the realme C85 4G on realme’s social channels.
