PhoneSentral Tech in Simplicity
The realme C85 series has officially launched in Malaysia on December 20, 2025.
The launch event emphasized the device’s unique blend of extreme durability and high-end battery performance.
Available in both 5G and 4G variants, the series aims to provide a versatile solution for users who require a reliable device that can keep up with demanding daily routines and harsh environments.
A major highlight of this new series is its world-record-breaking durability.
The realme C85 features an IP69 Pro rating, which was validated by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most people simultaneously testing mobile phone water resistance.
This certification ensures the device can survive high-pressure water jets and submersion up to 6 meters for 30 minutes. It is also designed to withstand contact with up to 36 different types of liquids, making it one of the most resilient phones on the market.
Beyond water resistance, the series incorporates an “ArmorShell” design that meets MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance standards.
This structural reinforcement allows the phone to endure significant physical stress, including up to 25KG of direct pressure and thousands of micro-drops without functional failure.
Powering this durable hardware is a massive 7000mAh Titan Battery, designed to eliminate “range anxiety” for mobile users.
According to realme, this battery can comfortably support up to two days of heavy use on a single charge.
When the battery does run low, the 45W SUPERVOOC charging technology ensures a quick top-up, while the 10W reverse charging feature allows the phone to act as a power bank for other accessories, such as wireless earbuds or secondary devices.
The series is also deeply integrated with modern artificial intelligence to enhance the user experience.
Features like AI Outdoor Mode are particularly notable, as they intelligently boost signal strength and call volume when the device detects noisy or remote environments.
Additionally, the inclusion of Google Gemini and “Circle to Search” provides users with cutting-edge productivity tools, while the AI Edit Genie offers advanced photo manipulation capabilities directly from the native gallery app.
On the technical side, the two variants cater to different performance needs and price points.
The realme C85 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and boasts a smooth 144Hz 6.8-inch display paired with a high-quality 50MP Sony camera sensor.
Meanwhile, the 4G version utilizes the reliable Snapdragon 685 chipset, ensuring that users who do not yet require 5G connectivity still receive a snappy and efficient performance for standard applications.
The realme C85 5G model (8GB+256GB) is currently offered at a promotional price of RM799, and the 4G model at RM749.
realme is including a one-year extended warranty and a one-time liquid damage replacement with every purchase.
Alternatively, you can also grab the phone via telcos with U Mobile offering it for free on a 24-month U Postpaid 68 contract.
The package comes with 100GB of combined 4G/5G data, unlimited calls and SMS to all networks, free Caller ID, and zero upfront cost for the device itself.
You can also get it with Hotlink Postpaid 70 at an attractive RM59 per month over 24 months.
