Realme is set to launch a powerful new phone in the Indian smartphone market. According to reports, the Realme C85 5G could arrive by the end of this year. This new 5G smartphone was first introduced in Vietnam, where it was launched with impressive features and a powerful battery. Now, it is being prepared for launch in India soon.
Stylish look with a smooth screen.
The Realme C85 5G will feature a 6.8-inch HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Such a high refresh rate is rarely seen in this price segment, making the gaming and video viewing experience incredibly smooth. The phone has a very attractive design, and the available color options make it even more appealing. It will be available in colors like Parrot Purple and Peacock Green. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor and thin bezels give it a premium look. This phone is lightweight, stylish, and boasts a truly youthful and classic design.
Powerful processor and excellent performance.
In terms of performance, the Realme C85 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, built on a 6nm architecture. This processor offers both improved performance and battery efficiency with 5G connectivity. The phone is expected to come with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage, along with virtual RAM support. Running on the Android 15 operating system with Realme UI 6.0, it provides a new and smooth interface experience. As a result, the phone will perform excellently in both multitasking and gaming.
Basic but reliable camera setup
For photography enthusiasts, the Realme C85 5G features a 50MP primary camera that delivers good results in daylight photos. It also has an 8MP front camera, which is considered quite good for selfies and video calls. Although its camera setup isn’t high-end, it’s decent for its price range. The camera interface includes features like Night Mode, Portrait Mode, and AI Beauty Mode. This camera setup is perfectly adequate for basic use.
Long lasting battery
The biggest highlight of the Realme C85 5G is its powerful 7000mAh battery. This battery supports 45W fast charging, allowing the phone to charge significantly in just a few minutes. The company claims that this battery can last for two days, and even with heavy use, it can last for a full day. Very few phones in this price range offer such a large battery backup. Even with heavy gaming or video watching, the battery discharges very slowly, making this phone a reliable option for those who need long battery life.
Realme C85 5G Launch Date and Price in India
According to leaked reports, the Realme C85 5G could launch in India in the last week of November 2025. However, the company has not yet made any official announcement regarding the launch date. As for the price, the Realme C85 5G is expected to be priced between ₹15,999 and ₹17,999 in India. This price will be slightly lower than the Realme 15x 5G. After its launch, the phone will be available for purchase on Flipkart, Amazon, and Realme’s official website.
What stands out – & caveats
Stand-out features
- The 7,000 mAh battery is a big plus: for users who care more about battery life than ultra-high-end specs, this is compelling.
- 144 Hz refresh in a budget/affordable 5G phone is rare — smooth scrolling & UI should feel better.
- The build durability (IP69 Pro) suggests this phone might survive rougher usage, which is a plus in markets like India.
Caveats
The display is HD+ rather than Full HD: resolution is modest, so visuals won’t be as sharp as higher-end phones.
Selfie camera is only 8 MP — many competitors in this segment might offer more.
While 45 W fast charging is decent, some rivals may offer 60 W or more — so charging speed might be slightly behind top rivals.
Some features (like storage expansion, software support, long-term updates) are not yet fully confirmed — always check the local variant for India.
Verdict for India market
Given the leaks, if Realme launches it in India at a competitive price (some reports mention ~₹ 12,999 for the C85 series or slightly above) for the C85 5G, then this could be one of the best battery-focused 5G phones under ~₹ 20,000.
If you’re considering it:
- If battery life & durability matter more than ultra-sharp display or ultra-premium camera, this is a strong option.
- But if you prioritise high resolution display (Full HD+), top selfie camera, or fastest charging speeds — you might want to compare with rivals.
- Also check local variant (Indian bands, software updates, pricing) when launched.
