PhoneSentral Tech in Simplicity
The new realme C85 5G has officially been recognized by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for its incredible water resistance.
This achievement shows that you can now get a very durable phone without having to pay a flagship price.
This record confirms the phone’s standing as one of the most protected and toughest phones available in its price category.
The specific record title earned was the “Most People Performing a Mobile Phone Water-Resistance Test Simultaneously.”
The official validation event took place on November 20, 2025, at the Cilandak Sports Center in Jakarta.
A large group of exactly 280 individuals participated, each holding a realme C85 5G. In a synchronized movement, all 280 phones were submerged together in a pool and remained under the water for a full two minutes.
The test was deemed a success because every single phone was retrieved, powered on, and had zero technical failures, which met the strict criteria of the record adjudicators.
This world record is a direct result of the phone’s robust design and its use of a new protection standard.
In case you didn’t know, the realme C85 5G comes with the new IP69 Pro water-resistance certification. This single standard is actually designed to be better and more complete than several other common ratings, including IP69K, IP69, IP68, and IP66.
The phone’s engineering focuses on defending against a long list of harmful liquids, specifically designed to withstand an impressive 36 different types of liquids.
This includes exposure to common dangers such as saltwater, chlorinated pool water, and even household corrosive spills.
To further highlight its durability, the C85 Series can handle extreme and long-lasting water exposure well beyond typical device ratings.
For deep water, the phone is built to withstand submersion for up to 30 minutes at a maximum depth of 6 meters.
For accidental or prolonged shallow water exposure, it can remain submerged for 60 continuous days at a depth of 0.5 meters.
In addition, the phone is fully functional in a wide range of temperatures, maintaining operational integrity from freezing 0°C up to a hot 85°C, even when wet.
The toughness of the realme C85 5G is not limited to just water protection. The device is also compliant with the military-grade MIL-STD-810H standard. This is a crucial certification that proves the phone can survive serious physical stress, such as being dropped from a height of 2 meters onto a hard surface.
Overall, the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title and the comprehensive set of durability ratings confirm that the realme C85 5G is a highly reliable and extremely tough device, making it an excellent and safe choice for daily use, even in challenging environments.
