Realme has launched two new phones in Vietnam – the Realme C85 Pro and the Realme C85 5G. Both phones come with large 6.8-inch screens, a 50MP main camera, and a big 7,000mAh battery. They also support 45W fast charging and have strong IP69K water and dust protection.
The Realme C85 Pro uses the Snapdragon 685 chip, which is an LTE-only processor from 2023. On the other hand, the Realme C85 5G comes with the newer Dimensity 6300 chip that supports 5G networks. The C85 5G is very close to the Realme 15x, but the 15x offers faster 70W charging.
Display and Performance
There is a big difference in the display type between the two models. The Realme C85 Pro has an AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Realme C85 5G, however, features an IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a higher 144Hz refresh rate.
Both phones are designed for smooth scrolling and gaming, but the AMOLED screen on the C85 Pro offers better color quality and brightness. The 144Hz refresh rate on the 5G version, however, gives a smoother experience for gamers and video lovers.
Camera and Battery
When it comes to cameras, both phones have a 50MP main camera using the Sony IMX852 sensor. You also get an 8MP front camera for selfies. The main camera gives detailed and bright photos, even in low light, while the selfie camera is clear enough for video calls and social media.
One of the best things about both phones is their massive 7,000mAh battery. You can expect long battery life even with heavy use. Both models also support 45W fast charging, which means you can get hours of power in just a few minutes. They also support OTG charging, so you can use your phone as a power bank to charge other devices like earbuds or smartwatches.
Software and Design
Both Realme C85 Pro and C85 5G run on Realme UI 6.0, which is based on Android 15. The interface is simple, fast, and full of customization options.
The phones come in two attractive colors – Parrot Purple and Peacock Green. The design looks stylish and modern with a shiny finish that catches the light beautifully.
Pricing and Availability
The Realme C85 Pro is priced at VND 7,690,000 (around $292) for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage version. The Realme C85 5G is a bit cheaper, starting at VND 6,490,000 (about $247) for the 8GB + 128GB model. If you want more storage, the 256GB version of the C85 5G costs VND 7,090,000 (around $270).
