realme C85 5G Sets a New Standard for Budget Smartphones With Massive Battery Power and 5G Speed

realme Philippines has unveiled its most capable C-Series device yet, bringing flagship-level performance and durability to the budget segment.

The new realme C85 5G is the first in the lineup to combine a huge 7000mAh battery with ultra-fast 5G connectivity, offered at a surprisingly accessible price.

The realme C85 5G is now available for as low as P10,989 via the official realme TikTok Shop, lower than its P14,999 SRP.

A Battery Built for Marathon Use

The star of this release is the enormous 7000mAh battery, engineered to keep up with heavy users all day and beyond. It delivers up to 15 hours of nonstop gaming or 28 hours of video playback, and even with only 1% left, it can stretch up to 9 hours on standby.

Charging is equally impressive thanks to 45W SUPERVOOC, which powers the phone to 50% in just 42 minutes. The battery is also built to last long-term, maintaining 80% health after six years of regular use.

Durability is another major highlight. The realme C85 5G comes with Military-Grade Shock Resistance and a triple IP rating (IP66/68/69K), protection against drops, dust, water jets, and even submersion. It even passed a 20-foot dive test and was proven resistant to 36 types of liquids, including coffee, soda, and household cleaners.

Fast 5G Performance for Gaming and Everyday Use

Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, delivering solid 5G speeds for smooth gameplay, quick downloads, and responsive multitasking. A large vapor chamber cooling system helps maintain stable performance during intense use. The device also supports up to 24GB Dynamic RAM, keeping apps running smoothly in the background.

Smooth Display and Smart Outdoor Visibility

The realme C85 5G features a 6.8-inch display with a super-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, offering crisp visuals for gaming, streaming, and browsing. With 1,200 nits peak brightness, the screen stays clear even under harsh sunlight.

For outdoor moments, AI Outdoor Mode automatically boosts brightness and optimizes mobile connectivity, ensuring a more seamless experience on the go.

Photography lovers can make the most of the 50MP AI Camera, which produces detailed images enhanced by AI Ultra Clarity and AI Edit Genie for easy post-processing.

Variants, Colors, and Exclusive Launch Freebies

The realme C85 5G comes in two eye-catching Feather-Inspired color options: Parrot Purple and Peacock Green. A 4G variant, the realme C85 4G, has also been officially launched in the Philippines, giving buyers more options depending on their budget and connectivity needs.

For a limited time, every purchase of the realme C85 5G includes a free TechLife Power Bank 10000mAh worth P1,499. Freebies are available at all official realme stores nationwide on a first-come, first-served basis.

realme Buds Clip Also Introduced

Alongside the new smartphones, realme introduced the realme Buds Clip, an open-ear, clip-style Bluetooth accessory built for comfort and awareness of your surroundings. Featuring dual-side nano electroplating, a frosted finish, and IP55 dust and water resistance, it’s designed for everyday durability.

Audio quality gets a boost from 11mm dual-magnet large-amplitude speakers, AI Dual-Mic ENC, and tuning technologies such as NextBass Algorithm, Sound-Leap Directional Tech, and 3D Spatial Audio. It delivers up to 36 hours of battery life, 45ms low latency, dual-device pairing, and AI-powered real-time translation for 32 languages. The realme Buds Clip is priced at P4,999.
