Guiness World Record-holder realme C85 5G Launches in Malaysia from RM799

realme has officially launched the realme C85 5G in Malaysia, positioning it as one of the toughest and longest-lasting budget smartphones the brand has ever released.

Priced from RM799, the C85 5G isn’t trying to win on camera gimmicks or premium materials. Instead, it focuses on three things Malaysians actually care about: durability, battery endurance, and reliability in harsh conditions — earning a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title in the process.

The IP69 Pro Durability is Built for Malaysia’s Weather

The most prominent headline feature is IP69 Pro, which combines:

• IP69K (high-pressure, high-temperature jets)

• IP69 (strong water jets)

• IP68 (submersion)

• IP66 (rain and splashes)

realme backed this up by setting a Guinness World Record, with 280 users simultaneously submerging their phones, and every device working afterwards.

Real-world relevance for us Malaysians:

• Survives tropical downpours

• A good pick for delivery riders & outdoor workers

• Resistant to 36 liquids (coffee, rainwater, detergent, even gasoline)

• Tested for 30 minutes at 6m depth or 60 days at 0.5m

Add MIL-STD-810H shock resistance and ArmorShell protection, and this becomes one of the most rugged phones ever under RM1,000.

7000mAh Titan Battery — The Real Selling Point

Battery life is where the C85 5G truly stands out.

Battery highlights:

• 7000mAh capacity

• Up to 2 days of heavy use

• Still usable at 1% battery (31 mins talk time)

• AI Power Saving adds an equivalent 400mAh boost

• 6-Year Battery Health tech (Bionic Repair + Bypass Charging)

Charging:

• 45W SUPERVOOC → 1 hour of video from 5 minutes

• 10W reverse charging → can charge earbuds or accessories

For those who hate carrying power banks, this is a huge win.

Performance & Display

The realme C85 5G uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, scoring 569,000+ on AnTuTu, making it solid for daily apps and casual gaming.

Key specs:

• Up to 24GB Dynamic RAM

• GT Mode for smoother gaming

• 6.8-inch HD+ LCD

• 144Hz refresh rate

• 1200 nits brightness

• Wet-hand touch support

This isn’t a hardcore gaming phone, but it’s more than capable for:

• TikTok

• YouTube

• MLBB

• Daily multitasking

Camera That is Practical, Not Ambitious

• 50MP Sony IMX852 main camera

• AI Livephoto on front & rear

Camera quality is decent for daylight and social media, but it is clearly not the primary focus, which is fair at this price.

Design, Colours & Software

• Colours (5G): Parrot Purple, Peacock Green

• OS: realme UI 6.0 on Android 15

• New Fluid Glass design

• Shake to Launch shortcuts

Price, Variants & Promos in Malaysia

It’s ideal for:

• Delivery riders & outdoor workers

• Students who want long battery life

• Parents buying a durable phone

• Users who are tired of fragile phones and dead batteries

If you want the toughest, longest-lasting phone under RM1,000, the C85 5G is currently hard to beat.
